If you know Thais they are pretty shy people especially when they meet with foreigners because of language. Thais are shy in this regard simply because they hate to lose face. So this is where I come in.

Thais are also ruthless when you cross them. Sinkees like me cannot adapt to the gray environment. I need things that are black and white...programmed by PAP since kindergarten.
