Briefly, the techniques of giving constructive criticism --with the intention of making the person improve--are anchored on the principle of leaving the other person's self respect intact, which in effect corresponds to the concept of 'saving face' in the Thailand, or in the East.

Agreed

Take for example the very basic guidline.

When you deliver critique, do it alone, not in front of others.

In many aspects we are less different from thais then we are led to believe.

I just read a guidebook that said "Dont touch unknown thais on the head.", you never see guidbooks that say "While in London feel free to touch unkown Londoners on the head"
