How do you think of Thai? Do you have any good imageｓ?
Thai culture is quite different from Japanese one, so I enjoyed seeing other cultures. I could feel many culture shocks in Thai.

First of all, the speed of a taxi is so fast in Thai. We saw a lot of car crashes on the superhighway. A traffic line is no meaning for Thai people. It was like a car chase.
In Japan, a taxi must be safe because taxi drivers have responsibility of taking passengers safely to their destinations. However it is much important for drivers how fast they can take passengers to the destination in Thai.
Second, do you know that we need to pay the chip in Thai?
We didn’t know when I had to pay it, and how much. One day, when we came back to my hotel room from the breakfast lounge, a clerk cleaned our room. The clerk looked like under 18 years old, and she didn’t wearing shoes. Even if children are under 18 years old, they must work to live.

Finally, there were many pictures of king on the road. Thai people believe their king strictly and they are proud of king. I think they are like Japanese in time of war who gave their lives for the country.
The culture shock gets me to think of my own culture. I would like to know other countries cultures as much as I can.

When did you go to Thailand? Your observation is really interesting. It is so refreshing to visit a new culture and learn more about them as well as your own. I found Thai people so graceful and gentle. I felt so bad not knowing any Thai language myself! Thailand is often promoted as a country of smile - even in very busy central city areas, people tended to be gentle and quietly friendly - do you agree?
