Can Thais hold a secret?

[Oryx816]

I agree that Thais generally seem to love a good chin wag and secrets here are few and far between.

However, as a woman, I will tell you that if a woman WANTS to keep a secret, there is no amount of cuddling and canoodling that will drag it out.

[bangon04]

Not sure if there can be any secrets left..... many Thais put their whole life on FB or Instagram or equivalent. oops another stereotype.

[nithisa78]

In the USA we just tell, Mike Richardson, in no time, everybody knows, or thinks they do.

Thai people are like the others of their race.....the human race. We all have needs and hopes - dreams.

[sustento]

Yes they can keep a secret. they succesfully keep the secret of how to open the rubber band on a food bag from you.

Costas, maybe you should hop in bed with that police chief over on KT, ya never know, with a little of your soft persuasion, a little cuddle or a kiss and maybe all will be revealed and we can rest this case?

He's not my type.

His ar$$ is too hairy for me.

Please, send me a photo of yours, djhotsox, maybe you are as hot as your username indicates

No comment.

And the weather is still hot here.

When is it going to get cooler?

This forum should be called Thai stereotypes. It is amazing how some people here spend so much time putting down anything and everything Thai, but they are staying here. I would leave and go back home if I were you. Just to be consequent.

Many here are really red necks, believe they are superior, while most are totally useless to Thailand and probably have been a disaster where they come from. Go get a life.

he says moaning at everybody moaning./ having a laugh/.......go away pipkins..

[gerry123]

ok keep it for to yourself then

[seadog57]

If more than one person knows it is not a secret anymore

You're attempts to stereotype all Thai people as usual fail. Thais are people, like anyone else, no more or no less.

Oh really...

You mean that they do not try to save face any more than people from other countries..

That they are as disciplined on the road as people from other countries...

That they are no more enclined to corruption than people from other countries..

That they will take care of their children as well as people from other countries.. will

That they will take care of their lady as well as people from other countries...

That they will rent out seadoo in a fashion as honest as back home...

That your taxi fare will be as fair as back home....

That...

That...

[thairay]

if you cannot keep your own secret,why should you believe someone else will? many stories told as secrets are just fantasy and lies to fill the silence and gain something......THE SECRET OF LIFE.....i am not telling

[ravip]

Of course they can.... 55555555

I am that hot, sorry no photo, that's my secret....

[asdecas]

My wife is welcome to the secrets that she implies but never states she has. In fact I wouldn't wish ever to know them; what use is knowing all there is to know about one's partner? Far better to have respect for that which differentiates and understand that some things are mine and some are hers, and always will be.

Niue and the Dominican Republic are worse drivers.

Child suicides Thailand 46th in the world.

You can catch a taxi or a limousine near the central exit Montreal on the Arrivals level. Taxi rates are fixed at $40 to downtown, It is customary to tip the driver anywhere from 10% to 20%, with 15% being the average.

Taxi Bangkok to airport about $20.

Stay home Andre, you're not ready for Thailand yet.

Of course they are - maybe the OP is going through the 7 year Thailand syndrome? Does he live in the village?

[mrfaroukh]

People I met tell me everything and do not hesitate to say anything about themselves and they do not think even for a second that what they say may be misuse against them even.

Just try........an extra cuddle and a kiss.......you will be surprized.........

She lets you kiss and cuddle her???

I bet she keeps that a secret

[orpheus454]

Probably right, Costas.

Somewhat equivalent to what I've found with the Greeks: lazy, don't pay their taxes and like to live on social welfare.

No wonder you jumped at the chance to enter the EU...!

[A1Str8]

No.

[rockdog]

Ask them the secret of life

[ableguy]

I had a secret which I did not tell my sister who is very close to me. When this particular situation was resolved I explained the whole thing to my sister , her first question why did you not tell me, I replied if I told you it is no longer a secret, not that I do not trust you but a secret cannot be shared or it is no longer a secret.

[ggt]

Your particular talents in exacting information may be of use by the CIA or KGB...

[marios]

Usually people all over usually do not hold a secret which has been confided to them by others irrespective of the pledges and promises, not to tell, made to the person who told them. They are,however, more reluctant to reveal secrets of their own.

I do not believe that Thais are any different to other people of the region. I think that extroverted and very sociable people are more prone to tell, but I may be mistaken.

The People of India have a saying, 'keep a secret and you are its master, tell a secret and you are its slave', which is so true.

Topic moved to Farang Pub

The General Forum is not a place for chit chat, banter and daily life observations. Those sort of topics should be placed in the Farang Pub sub forum.

[GOLDBUGGY]

Yes, I think you are right. Thais can't hold a secret as well as you and I can. But having said that, most women I ever met or knew could not hold a secret either. So My Thai Wife is no exception.

But now let me tell you a secret about me.

If My Thai Wife does have a secret, and holds it from me, I am sure of one thing.

That it is not something I want to know about!!!

Too low level. Must be living in bar.

My thoughts were similar as yours.....until......

I know, until you looked behind their ears.
