Lusty Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I was having a chat the other day with Mrs Lusty after watching the film "Elisabeth" and she told me it is in the Thai culture not only to respect the King and Buddha but also your'll never hear a Thai diss a King or Queen from another country or Jesus,Allaha etc,etc .

Faustian Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Not entirely accurate I'd say, but they do seem to demonstrate a high level of respect, which was surprising to me at least. Quite sweet really. My Thai friends asked me about it, they were surprised we don't revere our 'royals' in the same way as they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickfarang Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Basically, Thais (as will most others) tend to respect power and vested respectibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
