I told you to tell them you had TB and was in a sanitarium, not sanitation. O.K. Ralph?

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
Thai culture is splendid in it's diversity and willingness to expand, collate and regurgitate in a new more manageable form.
Who gives a shit if they eat rotten crabs and slurp incredibly spicy seafood soups while driving their new Hiace pick-ups down the expressway at 200kmph with a bit of luktung blasting from the 200000 watt Samsung and a flock of scouse ladymen dancing on the back around a lubed up pole?
now...if only they could find a way to merge gaelic football and hurling in there......

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
Oooh (gleefully rubbing my hands together). This is a potentially Captain Thailand vs The Rest of the World thread. Don't get too serious, please. Just throw him a few bones and watch him jump. I need a few laughs.

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
There is not and cannot be such a thing as Thai culture, because Thais hold different values and beliefs depending on their educational background, part of the country they live in and myriard other variables.

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
I'd heard of Starbucks, but the rest may as well have been invented in Thailand for all I knew.
