marshbags Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 One of the many lessons we come to appreciate more on Thai Visa is tolerance. Personally, many times i get worked up about Thai culture and the differences. There is always a topic started by a member highlighting something related to our negative thoughts that always turns this around and puts things into a positive interpretation. One example being the thread presently running on touching children. I always got worked up by this and couldn,t come to terms with it in a satisfactory way. Due to this topic i now see why it should not harm anyone and is in fact a show of affection by the majority of Thais. Thank you to the O.Poster who,s name i do not have at hand for letting me see the other side of the coin and most important T.Visa for giving us all a platform to communicate from and let off steam. There have been several examples of this from my look on things which are now acceptable to me and i,m happy with. I would enjoy reading about other examples like this that have helped you and if i,ve missed them can help me also. On a lighter note one of the reasons i didn,t like the touching was from the hygenic perspective, but again affection is important and should be encouraged while being sensible. The lighter thing i refer to being, unable to observe the nose picking ect. and then touching and discharging whatever they found on my daughter. marshbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
