Thailand women and North American men


Longtime ago i wanted to write about this because is impossible one day arrive to the end and don´t see this kinds of couple, and this surprises me every day, I don´t talk about a normal couple, actually i see too, I am talking about American man with Thailand lady.

That kind of couple is the most normal kind, I remember just when i arrived here well actually i am lying, in the Stockholm airport i saw this rare and normal fact in Thailand, I don´t want to lie but in the airplane with almost 400 people, 30% of the person was american, the other 30 % was thailand person and the 40% left was different kinds of people from Europe.

Just arrived to Bangkok between subway and taxi i didn´t realize about it, but in the moment i get off the bus i saw the real thing. From every 10 couples with foreigner men, 9 are american, for talk more clear as possible, is very strange look foreigner female here and obviously the couple thai man with foreigner lady, well, i didn´t watch yet, after 9 months. Whatever, i don´t know for what reason the american jubiled men como here for live and obviously they come for marriage, or just share with a thailand lady, but not any lady, normally very ypung, If u compares can see easy old men up 60 years old with ladys with 20 or 30 years old. 

Is a very high contrast and not only for the ages also the thai lady is small and the american are tall, lady is thin and the american is thick, because normally they are here without work, is normal they get fat.


This situation very strange for me here is the most normal thing, the people don´t see nothing strange is that, i could thing that happen longtime ago, that could explain why nobody take care about that. 


The thailand woman look like a like that kind of man with regular incomes, don´t care very much about how the men look, is a bit diiferente than all around the world where the ladies take care very much about the outside of the men. And don´t care about the age too, look like a not important for them. 


The language is another important handycap, here the english is the second language, many people can´t talk english but normally can undertand you but the language is not the topic here. Anyway, the love is in that way here or that we in a romanticist way we say.

The feet, just for walk in Thailand


In some moment you should bother somebody in Thailand and in this case for a very rare reason, maybe you are asking yourself what i am talking about.

The thailand person normally should understand I don´t know many things about the culture and tradition, and normally they know this about the foreigner people in a 95% but in this case, you are wrong.

This talking is about your feet, for the thailand person the feet is the most low thing in a person and not only in the real way, no, is not about the high or the short in a body, for them that strange thinking is literal and simbolic, twice. I supose in some translate in some book or maybe in some speech some body take it this thinking and since that moment nobody thought about if that thinking is smart or not. Just that thinking has become in a respect act. 

Cannot use your feet for put your finger in somebody, cannot use the feet for open the door, don´t care if you get 4 bags from the supermarket. 
So, before you do something with the feet think about who can feel bad or insulted because you use your feet for something else is not walk, yes, is rare and actually don´t have many sense, but here in Thailand you should use your feet just for walk. 

Just some detail more, is interesting how the feet is the more low thing in a human person but they eat the feelt of the chicken, pork, etc. 

And another interesting detail is, anybody show that lowest part always, normally the opened shoes are the usual here.

I see contradictions here, and this is one of those. Whatever.

Please, take off your shoes when entering, in Thailand

Talking about this topic or about other i should remember you i am spanish and the asiatic tradition are really opposite to my own traditions.

Take off the shoes when entering in somewhere is a normal way here, in Thailand, but you should know about when u should do, for example in a restaurant will not normally but if you go home or room of one of your friends you must take off the shoes entering.

More also if you are going the laws home, for cruise that sacred door you will take off, although with the weather here, really hot will not be a problem for you take off all the clothes you can.


You would know if you are wearing socks is not necessary take off too, just the shoes. Only if that shoes touched the floor before you must take off, If we think about that, sume many mums around the world wanted this same way for her own homes, I mean about the child with dirty shoes when they come from the park or just come to play some sport outdoor. For don´t talk about maybe u has trodden some excrement, if you left the shoes outside that terrible smell will not follow u everywhere.

So, summarizing, If the place where u are entering is one place where the people sleep normally u must take off but if opposite situation you go some business, normally u should not, whatever open your mind because maybe u could find some exceptions. And yes, u are thinking maybe somebody can rob your shoes if you left outside that home you go, just don´t worry, nobody will rob your shoes in Thailand.

Greetings in Thailand



Something very usual as give your hand to unknown person or two kisses in the cheek of your friend, is a fact just happen, don´t have to think about it only if that person actually you like and you would reward yourself with a kiss the most near of the lips as possible, however, in Thailand that´s different, if you are a watcher you will see here nobody touches between, literally, don´t touches being couple, at least not in front of anybody.

In Thailand when somebody introduces to you u should put your hands together and do like a you pray for something, after that u should tilt your neck and look down with the hands touching your nose, more high mean more respect, so, with the old people will be more high than with another one, actually, with the young people just look down and tilt your neck, don´t need do anything with the hands. 

Anyway, for my experience i can say any thai person will like if you, being a foreigner do that kind of greeting, so let smile because here in Thailand is free and anybody should like to see your smile not same in many other countrys, including mine.

My name is Miguel, I´m from Barcelona and right now i live in Thailand how all of us should imagine.

Like a good writer of blog i will try to explain anything i ear, i see and i feel in this country, so much different than any country, sometimes i ask myself, where the hell i am? Then i remind why i has come here, for see different things and actually that is what every day I see, diferent things. 

And how the strange things of the country become in normal for me, as i sayed, I will write about what i see,and what i ear but of course always from my point of view as for that this is my blog. ;)

The fact is simple, i have over than 40 different talkings just arrived here about the Isan region, here is where i stay, in Isan, before the thai poeple call this country in that way.

Summarizing, welcome curious readers, I will try to give all the information as possible about Thailand, one hug for all of us.
