I’m seriously pissed off with the Bangkok Post. Today they published an article which original title was “a 200 millions THB mess” which article was related to last weekend multiple bombing tragedy was simply the worth thing the Bangkok post have ever published.

Do Thai value friendship with foreigners?

Generally they do but while Thais can seem very friendly at first understand that it is only an appearance. Friendly attitude is as much a part of ‘Thainess’ as the respect for authority.

Real friendship demands more than just a smile. You must be careful that things are not always what they seem.

This year again the buzz is to know who made it on the Billionaires list. I’m still not on it and i guess you are not too. This being said only five Thais made it on Forbes list. What surprised me is not so much who made it but who did not make it. See the thing is that Thailand has a huge shadow economy (shadow economy being all financial and commercial transactions that are not done officially and do not generate taxes or social securities payments).

Is Thailand a safe country?

Yes. Thailand has low violent crime statistics compared to other countries such as France or the US. Of course, violence does exist but is not often directed at foreigners. While there are from time to time crimes against foreigners, they are still rarer than in your homeland and when foreigners do get into trouble, they, often bring it upon themselves.

Getting married in Thailand? That will be a life-changing decision for the better (hopefully) or the worth (it can also happen). Now that you are getting married will come the time where you will be requested to honor the Thai Tradition of the Dowry system.
