First some folks think that Thai way and traditions/customs are best, Thats what we do in the country.
Then the next one comes up and says that it should be the western way and celebrate birthdays with presents and party's like is done in the city's from western influence.

What I really think is most people think that it should be which ever way that suits them and they personally gain the most, be it Thai way or farang way.

Betti, yes, you teach in an international school so I think that things should be done the way that you are teaching your students about.
Yes times are changing, but to hear some on here talk it is wrong and the customs should be upheld above all.
I am international and can have it either way and be comfortable with it. But you will remember I was banned for talking against the advantages of the old customs.
