Thai Customs


Recommended Posts

So what do Thais do that farangs don't?

 

Here is one:

 

When a girl has got a broken heart because her boyfriend left her, she cuts her hair short.

 

Do you know any other Thai customs that are different?

Yeah, Thai customs are different. You smuggle a few cartons of cigarettes in the UK and get caught its confiscated. In Thailand its a huge fine.

I was stopped not wearing a motorbike helmet & was only fined 300 Bht, the receipt was in case I was stopped again on the way back

to my hotel so another fine could not be imposed....Fair system I thought... :Agree:

Nothing different here. People in the West act the same way, I've known both girls and men who cut off most of their hair after a traumatic breakup. It indicates a new start, a new look, a new "me"

Well. In thailand, you will see many locals picking their nose like no one was around. This is opposite in europe, us ect. But they will cover their mouth with one hand while using a tooth pick to hide whatever goes on the. Those to things a very upside down compared to visitors.
