The Thai National Character

[Michael W]

This is a rather lengthy essay that analyzes and ranks these Thai cultural attributes (from most to least important):

1. Ego Orientation

2. Grateful Relationship Orientation

3. Smooth Interpersonal Relationship Orientation

4. Flexibility and Adjustment Orientation

5. Religio-Psychical Orientation

6. Education and Competence Orientation

7. Interdependence Orientation

8. Fun-Pleasure Orientation

9. Achievement-Task Orientation

If you've not seen this before, I definitely think it's worth reading through completely: http://www.thaiwebsites.com/thaicharacter.asp
