The Thai People |
 |
Although an irate foreigner can get things moving, it is considered embarrassing and a loss of face for those involved.
Like other Asians, Thais attach a great deal of importance to the concept of face, which involves gaining, preserving and enhancing respect and status. Foreigners should avoid actions or words that may cause a Thai to lose face in public.
If criticism or potentially status-damaging actions or words are necessary, try to find a more subtle way of getting your message across. The Thai would probably respond appropriately. more |
