MrJohnson Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 TAT new slogan - Thailand - Land of Scowls - I know this one has been done to death BUT - I think that the long drawn-out political impasse - almost 8 years now with no end in sight, coupled with a very long, hot summer, rising food and fuel prices, grumpy taxi drivers etc. are getting a few people down - but there are less frowns and more smiles at the end of the working day than in the morning- well at least that is how it appears to me. I don't think the frowns are meant for you particularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If it's scowls you want, try living in the non-touristy Thai south. Strewth! Perhaps it's just you, or just me, but I get smiles most of the time, indifference the rest of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salavan Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 iv'e been living in kanchanaburi over 2 years now i smile at people but never got one back, if fact i have never exchanged words with any thai people in that time even though i tried to make small talk, rarely any eye contact even, very sad place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiberius Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 There are big problems ahead, the red shirt/yellow shirt, Thaksin, Yingluck, STOP Bangkok protests etc etc are nothng compared with what is coming. That's probably why there is a frown. Cup half full, cup half full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
