…why should we smile first?

No, you don't need to. Keep your grumpy face and you'll get it back.

Perfect atmosphere for you?

Not for me.

Thai people seem so sullen & miserable.

 

Hogwash. Smiles abound for me. Are you smiling back at people or walking around with a scowl?

 

I get befuddled looks sometimes by people (usually older people) but everyone smiles back if you smile or acknowledge them.

 

To be fair though very rarely I could get a look by a person like they don't want you there. Honestly I don't blame them, some people probably don't like random foreigners in their area that they don't know.

It's the effect you have on them.
