eldragon Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's the season of giving. And Thais are well know for their hospitality. In fact, I'd say they are some of the most giving people I've ever encountered. What is the most hospitable, giving thing a Thai has ever done for you?

Seligne2 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If I were to do a word association game with the word "Thai", hospitality would not be anywhere on the list. Some of the things that would be are: Plastic Family-oriented, despise Mother Nature Ignorant Materialistic Deferential to authority Sexy (ladies-ladyboys) Opportunistic Honest (with strangers) I could continue in this vein for some time without hitting on the word "hospitable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The first time I visited my wife's home town (Surin) some family members were horrified that we had booked into a hotel and they offered to let us stay with them. Very diplomatically, my wife explained that I needed my AC and hot showers - so we politely declined. An aunt, who was headmistress of a local village school, insisted that we should use her car (Isuzu pick-up) for the whole time we were there, which was very generous and must have been some inconvenience to her. My abiding memory of that visit was that whenever we went near to the village all the youngsters we passed would give us a deep and courteous wai - recognising the headmistresses car, but not noticing the Farang driver.

Ahab Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The Chinese/Thai merchant that runs the hardware store in my wife's home town in Buriram (Lahan Sai) gave my son a crisp $100 bill when they found out it was his birthday during a visit several years ago.

mick220675 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 When I first moved to my wife's village we employed a Cambodian (with a Thai id card) who had been in the Khmer rouge, was very poor living in a wood shack with a mud floor. After a year of working for us he had saved enough money to build a better home and buy a old motor cycle. To this day whenever he see's me he will bring me a can of beer. It has always touched me that one of the poorest people in the village and a man who must have been through so much in his life, is so kind to me.

naboo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Every night I visit my local watering hope, they lay on a spread of good food. Just this evening, I turned up with my wife and daughter, we had two bottles of beer at 60B a bottle and we were offered fish, soup and ice cream. They genuinely want nothing in return, just good, generous people, day in, day out. Of course, we return the hospitality in other ways, but I don't think they would worry if we didn't.

I seriously think if I walked into the average home in Thailand and said "Hey, I'm really tired and weary and just need some food and drink and a few hours of sleep" most of em would help me out. The hi-sos probably wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Mee Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 On a bike rally recently several several of the Thais I was riding with ( the only Farang participating) stopped and helped me repair a blown tire.
