I guess the mental health of most Thai people is in good shape, due to their mentality of “sabai sabai”. Most that surround me don’t stress and take things pretty easily as they come by even when situations explode in their faces. Worry not now when there is nothing immediate to worry, just worry later. Worry not now when the things are not yours. Worry not now as long as I have money for my beer.
However, the mental health of the minority bosses are in real bad shape, stress levels are always on the high side, affecting not only their personal health but also the health of family relationships. Boss manages the group of “sabais sabais” and all the future worry are left to him.
Then what about we foreigners, how is our mental health? I can share only what I am. I am stress, very stress, my mental health is not very good. My stress is high. I feel exploited. Since we can do everything, then leave everything to us. The farang in the eyes of Thais can solve everything. When situations explode, I panic like a spider while the rest watches casually. At times, “I seng mak mak”. I want to go into “sabai sabai” mode but inherently I cannot. What about the rest of you, are you exploited too or am I just being a buffalo to be exploited?
