grtaylor Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I can't believe this thread has gone so far without 'greng jai' being mentioned (or maybe I just missed it). Certain 'lies' are said purely out of consideration, as the Thai person believes it will upset you less than the truth . . . . G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain 'lies' are said purely out of consideration, as the Thai person believes it will upset you less than the truth . . . .G For sure, but is the underlying reason for not upsetting you purely respect for your feelings or self protection or a little or each or it varies case by case? (not meaning to sound overly cynical but I do wonder if a substantial reason is a form of self protection learnt and passed on ) On another point how do you reconcile the social 'greng jai' with the Thai business ethics? (yes I am being a pain, there is not much else on TV, rather bland lately, it should be renamed the TV dinner forum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
