seedy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I learned a long time ago ... If two people know, it is no longer a secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJohnson Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 if you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timekeeper Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) NO, nor trust friends here, people talk to much here, they have too much time on their hands and try to make their own lives interesting by gossiping about others. keep your own council in Thailand and you will be ok loose lips, sink ships.........

JUDAS Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 This might come as a shocker OP, but pretty much everyone likes the odd bit of tasty gossip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto21 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Can a Thai keep a secret? I've trusted in the fact that they don't. If I'm trying to contact anyone in my village by word of mouth, (correct channels with no juicy gossip) not a hope any time soon. But! just talk to my neighbour, give them some tit bit about the guy, add that I want to talk to him, I don't say anything bad, They are so nosey and can't wait to see what happens! The person I need to contact will phone or come and see me within the hour....Works ever time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturn Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 hi the example was just a simple harmless topic starter ive a whole pile of previous insidents got me pissed off enough to write something theres a very big difference between a strict monastery and a very strict one practically everyones got a secret and sometimes its not wise to broadcast it its not a bad thing to have a friend you could unload something thats been troubling you discuss it and get relief/help/assistance sometimes its very neccessary to do that but if one is worried about the person telling others or using it against you-well, its better to keep quiet i spent a couple of years in sri lanka i came across reports of cases of suicide due to the fact that the troubled person couldnt find anyone to talk to about their problem because in 5 minutes the whole village would know for those without a visa they better keep the mouth closed not all thais love ferangs and some money could be made telling the right person its close to haiku, but you are not quite there. keep trying.

GM1955 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Farangs. Trust them at your own peril. If you have to tell somebody, tell a Thai, don't tell a Farang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
