dean Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm sure that you understand the difference between the commercial and religious aspect of Christmas and don't have a manger sitting next to the tree. That's why I usually say Happy Holidays, because not everyone that I greet is a Christian. I'll have to quiz my Thai family on their knowledge of the religious aspect of Christmas. By the way, my wife's idea of a Christmas dinner doesn't change much from what she eats daily; rice and chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 If you can wait 25-30 years, I can push my 8 year old son, who has dual Thai-U.S. Citizenship, into a career as an Ambassador. Doing research, Americans with dual citizenship are in elective office, heads of government agencies and Ambassadors (even Ambassadors to countries where they have citizenship, along with their U.S. citizenship). While he doesn't look Thai, he does speak, read and write Thai and gets his "thainess" from his mother. I'm not sure what his positions would be but he would know enough tosay the things that please Thais. After all, "face"/appearance in Thailand is prized above everything else.

baa99 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 A criticism of the current military dictatorship, becomes a criticism of a royal? That's Thainess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I think you could say that about pretty much anything any government or elected official in Thailand ever says or does, since they are doing so as the spokesperson of their nation which has a Head of State and so by extension any criticism of them or their office is also a criticism of the Head of State.

bust Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 This wasn't a US bashing or a "Thainess" post. What I did find interesting was the source or the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
