The once very common but now rare Thai Smile just showed itself to me.

[Tuco Ramirez]

I was in 7/11, just grabbing my usual stuff, when a 7/11 employee who I have seen many times before walked passed me, pulled down her face mask and gave me the biggest smile one can imagine. My faith in Thai humanity has been restored, at least for a while.

 

When Thai women genuinely smile, they are the most beautiful people on Earth.

Don't know if this is a phony post but...

 

Thai smiles, I see them every day.

If no one is smiling at you the reason may be your dynamic and vibe with others.

If you don't accept the noticeable change in the 'Thai smile' then you don't know much about Thailand.................at least the tourist areas.

Thai people smile at me all day long. Nonstop smiling. So much smiling. Smiling, the likes of which the world has never seen before. There is so much smiling I'm even getting tired of all the smiling. I've never seem so much smiling before. Everyone tells me that Thais are great smilers and that they smile a lot. Even the best people say they are terrific smilers. Too much smiling. What is wrong with you? Smile a little, please.

Thais smile all the time, sure, some of them are forced smiles, but bye and large I think they are genuine.

 

This evening I popped out to do a bit of shopping in my local small town. The girl in the bar I frequent from time to time gave me a bright smile and a wave when I rode past, the girl in the butchers smiled, the cashier at Lotus smiled, as she practiced her (wildly inaccurate) use of English numbers.

 

Now I consider myself vaguely presentable, and do take some care over my appearance, but I am certainly not magnificently handsome, nor am I obviously affluent. But I like being smiled at as the default greeting, and try to respond.

"Don't know much about Thailand", so your subjective opinion decides who knows what?.

 

I know my experience, I live here and work here and as I said Thai people smile at me every day.

 

So your experience is different?

There could be many reasons for that; might not have 100% to do with Thai people.
