Smiling girl in Thailand

Land of smiles

Thailand is the land of smiles. This is firmly anchored in the philosophy of life of the people there. "Sanuk" means fun. Fun means many things here, such as food. Whether snacks or festive menus. Smiling is not only "sanuk", but also politeness. Even in a discussion, a (sheepish) smile can sometimes be exchanged. Thais use a smile instead of a negative statement to show that they have inner peace or a "cool heart". This is how you save face. Exaggerated laughter after an embarrassing situation or mishap achieves precisely this: The perpetrator saves face, and all parties make clear the fun factor of the unpleasant situation. For Westerners, this can sometimes lead to confusion. Especially if you've only been in the country for a few days.
