Hi everyone,
As a Thai person I think the landmark of Thailand is not beaches, mountains or waterfalls but it is ‘Thai smile’ 🙂
The nickname of Thailand is ‘the land of smile’. The minute that you step a foot in the country I am sure the first thing that you will see is a lovely welcome smile from a Thai person. With strangers most Thais are shy to talk to but they are not shy to show their lovely smile as a sign of being friendly.
Don’t be surprised when you see lots and lots of smiles here because that is what we love to do.
Put a smile on your face…welcome to Thailand:)

Dear Mod,
In English we do not say “The minute that you step a foot in the country…”, we say ‘The minute that you set foot in the country…’
Love your videos though…

Kop kun ka Khun Pete for your correction. I like that I’m also learning correct English from my students. 🙂

Dear Mod,
I am expecting a Thai guest next month to stay in my family house for 5 days. Can you give me some tips about giving best hospitality for her (27 years old girl). for example in the airport how should i welcome her? hug? shake hands? just saying welcome? and any other tips will be very appreciated.
thank you

Sawatdee-krap, Kru Mod.
Ah, what a pity! Well, times are changing. Maybe in the future some odd stylist proposes these as the ‘new’ costume.
My wife loved them.
Khop khun krap.

Beatiful dresses too, does Thai people wear these only on special occasions, my wife wants to know.
Bye, Bye.
Mod says
Sawatdee ka Venancio,
Thai people are not wearing these costume anymore. You might see staff at some traditional Thai restaurants or hotels in Thai traditional costume, or on stage performances.
