I still say TV [electronics] has ruined Thailand.
It is acceptable and expected to watch TV at any time of the day or night that you are not asleep, even have it on and running then if you can.
Go to a Dentist and they have a TV in every room, even have one running for the Dr. to watch while he is working in your mouth.
Every resturant and food shop will have one running where people can see it while eating.
Every cashier has one going, service station, Hospital cashier, Every where you look there is a TV.
Then there is the cell phones, every one has one, when 4 friends get together to have some lunch and visit, everyone has their cell phone on and is thumbing thru the screen, 2 of the 4 will be talking to someone else or each other maybe,But very seldom will talk to anyone without using a cell phone. A young couple out on a date, he or she will be on the phone talking most of the evening and have no respect for the people around them.
