I nor anyone else said that there is no such thing as custom in Thailand.

What I did was show that people are different and anytime that something is questioned then that behavior is passed off and explained as "Thai Custom", whether it be from Songkran being changed from pouring water on the hands of elders to throwing buckets of water in the face of motorcycle riders,
To it being accepted for married men to have numerous Mi Noi' and for women to accept anything that is done by a male.

All things change when a different style of living is introduced into a culture and then things change so that culture is no longer a hard and fast rule to be lived by everyone.

No one should say that Thai Custom is making their life miserable and unlivable because someone is not doing what they think is customary to a certain area when it is getting more and more each day to be an amalgam of different and mixed customs.

So if anyone wants to live the origional Thai Customs then they should do so by all means but not be unhappy when most have advanced to modern living styles.
Throw away your gas cooker and go back to cooking on a charcoal brazier,,Give up your motor vehicles and go back to travel and farm work with Buffalo, no more refrigerators or electric fans.

But the poster of this thread does not see it that way, the girl wants to live in what she calls "Customs", be it that she wants only the parts of them that suit her and make her life better and more livable. Which everyone is doing.
