Smiling of Thais
Nowadays, Thailand is well-known about Land of Smile since 18 century. The Dutch, The French and The English, or whoever landed on Siam would know about how friendly of Thais in front of strangers.
Smiling is a message that contain kindness and honest that sent through to the receiver. It is the beginning of new relationship between two people.
The main reason why Thais have a good smiling because we are not stress with works or life. If we compare with Japanese, they have a highest tension and number of committed suicide rate. But Thais have a simply life being, most of our activities are not fixed on schedule, that is why they do not
need to be hustle in anything.
When foreigners got lost and ask for direction. Even someone who has low education, they try to explain even he is using wrong vocabularies or grammars but we are willing to help them because we are big-hearted.
Even in politics, the Prime Minister or the President from abroad comes to our country, we could be success on investment and play in the market form foreigners in Thais' business because of the warm welcome and great smiles.
Even in Bangkok, Thais endure in their own easy-going fashion. "The Land of Smiles" is not just a tourist slogan, but an expression of the way the people face a challenge: with humor, a shrug of the shoulders and one of the most common phrases in the language. "Mai pen rai," they say - "Never mind. It'll be all right."
Bangkok also remains one of the most polluted cities in the world, where traffic moves at about seven kilometers per hour - four during rush hour. But the cars, high-rises and pollution don't detract from astonishingly beautiful temples and palaces.
