Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
This thread is supposed to be discussing Thai culture. It began that way, but, now, has simply become, as is often the case. an opportunity for people to take have a go at each other.
Grow up folks.

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
Thai culture is whatever the Thais decide it is - it's not up to us, any more than Brits get to decide whats culture in Oz.

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
India has a culture that is truly inspiring in its homogeneity and so does China. Perhaps Thailand is trying to emulate these paragons of cultural conformity.

Hardly homogenous.

(India) Indeed, any nation who kills 52 babies in medical experiments this year deserves an atta boy.
(China) Any nation who arrests two grandmothers and sentences them to labour camps for filing for a demonstration permit is my kind of place.

Re: What is Thai Culture Exactly.
Aussie culture - we say we take the best from others and create a better mixture. Do we care if you don't agree? NO!
