Mac you hit the key point, you know I also like a lot the little I know about Thailand and its series, especially the BL which I like a lot, obviously there are many things I don't know, but what people I know and have been there have said is that they love it.
It's like you say, people are more accessible, friendlier, probably because they are mainly dedicated to tourism and there are more cultural mixes, I even see more for example oriental families mixed with westerners there than in the rest of Asia, that's the little I've seen.
It is not because it is marihuana, although I am a believer that it should be legalized in the world at least for therapeutic purposes, but the little I know about their culture is that they are more open to change, to evolution, and they are not so strict with everything, with respect to the rest of Asia.
On the other hand I like their religion, here we are Christians, but it is not a religion with which I feel very identified, on the other hand Buddhism and the beliefs that the monks have that you can live with little and be happy, I love that.
I don't know if you know it, I guess you do because you know more about those beliefs than I do, but people who practice meditation like those monks are able to reach the maximum state of happiness and science has proven it with MRIs, they are not beliefs, they are not something they just tell you to repeat and that's it like many other religions, it is a whole philosophy of life that has been proven that it really has benefits in both physical and mental health.
I am glad that you have changed your perspective and now you like Thailand more, even the pictures look nicer now, what a thing isn't it? Your perspective changed and you managed to portray that perspective better.
Greetings @macchiata 🤗💞
I am not sure if it's really about tourism but their religion might have something to do about that. However, I think that though they are friendly, they can also explode at any time and often, I they get very violent. I tried avoiding confrontation many times with them for that reason. I read many
ugly stories about it too which is the reason I avoid confrontation like hell. But yeah, everything aside, things are pretty good over here.
OMG 😰😰😰 @macchiata violent? Really? Regarding what? Religion? Please take care Mac.
