I notice a big difference between Thai manners and the behavior of westerners. Does anyone else notice this difference? Whereas many westerners lose their temper and argue in public, I rarely see this with Thais. I also find that Thais are hesitant to give direct negative feedback and will say that things don't bother them, or that they like a gift you have given them, even if it is not totally true. Westerners seem to be more blunt and less concerned about hurting someone else's feelings. Is it just me?
