Interesting, but I don't quite understand. How can you be humble and also have a big ego? Or สบายๆ and also be bothered by เสียหน้า? By the way, I like Thai personalities very much in general. Thai people are so nice!
@@BananaThaiSchool Vast question!...How can any non-Thai really know completely? I'm aware not romanticize any culture really. Can only compare as a foreigner/American who has traveled through 24 countries. The almost two years spent traveling/"living" in Thailand was significant. Thailand one of the few places I've felt can truly just be myself. Exceptions w/o generalizing: kind/helpful people, the collective "sabai sabai" attitude, sense of community, "greng jai' respect/consideration of others, respect for elders, street food, cost of healthcare. Though not a Buddhist, I prefer much of Buddhist thought/practice. My experience, a welcoming place compared to others. Always something new to learn. Could live in Thailand the rest of my life and never figure it out completely -I like this. In America, not so much, for me anyhow...Not talkin politics-every country has problems for sure. America is a fragmented culture now. In America one can get shot in the head for making a wrong left turn or looking at someone the wrong way. One of the few places I've felt welcomed and at home. Why one has to use little bits of toilet paper instead of proper napkins might be another culture difference...
