The point i was trying to put across is that my Thai wife was trying to interact with the Thai's of the UK who have surely picked up Land of the sour face

If you have spent much time in Thailand,then you have learned that Thais are tribal,not particularly fond of Thais from other regions of the country.

The bottomline is ,if they have not known each other for a long time,they don't trust and shy away from involvement ,unless there is something to gain!

For Thais living in Falangland,unless very lonely for Thai companionship with languge and cultural aspects,I would imagine the same tribal ,region,class associatons would apply!

Thank's Westers. Since I posted the original post the culling count is 3-4 farrangs in the good old pearl of the Andaman. I have a buisness plan in mind but need a thai buisness partner I can trust. I have put an Action plan together in this order.

1 A healthy bank account
2 Sustainable assets back in blighty
3 When im relaxing after a hard days graft the warmth and love from my Tirac in my luxurious loom for her and some of her friend's from the entertainment complex she attends when im working.
4 A plan to join the local thai buisness partnership as I know my fellow buisnessmen will be on the same waveband as me.
5 And last only for my own protection my trusted personal bodyguard for any bad men who disagree with the way I run the buisness.

So my fellow freinds does my action plan sound a good 1, or have I got the order the wrong way round.

Could someone please tell me what's this post got to do with the price of fish?

Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

It doesn't sound anything to do with the Land of Smiles slogan, unless maybe it's the Land of Sangsom, or the Land of Riddles! -though that would be handsome (LOR).

And could quite easily become...........The Land Of Sarcasm

how about , land of senile ( old farts ) that is !!!!! i agree in part about thais smiling if they want something from you as trubrit suggests , but isnt this the norm for the rest of the world also ? every smile may not be sincere , but they do it with such grace . ive never been anywhere else in the world where the people smile as often . long may it continue .

I don't think anybody could argue with this statement,unless,of course,that is their purpose!

I think were all getting a bit paronoid now

Land Of Suicide....
