- If you moved abroad, did you pick up any local habits/customs that are different to the ones in your home country? I seemed to have picked up 5 new habits since living in Thailand that I didn't even realise I had picked up until my friend told me! Can you relate?

ผมเป็นคนไทยที่ติดตามคลิปวิดีโอของคุณ
I am Thai follow your video.♥️♥️
Thailand is always welcome.
Thank you so much 💜🙏
I agree with you, the errrr .. sound is considered impolite even though you’re just responsive to the speaker. My advice is changing the errrr .. sound to the ummm .. sound. The ummm .. sound will not cause problem because it sounds agreeable even though you don’t agree with the speaker. You can revise & make a clarification to the conversation later.
The crunching, in my opinion, makes the doer likable especially when a minor does it when walking pass the elders. But it is understandable if it doesn’t fit people with different cultures.
One more thing : Thai people take their shoes off when entering someone else’s house. And if wearing shoes is still allowed for the 1st floor, it is definitely not allowed for going upstairs.
You are an observant person which is good. People with this personality can easily adjust themselves to a new environment. You have my admiration.
That is good advice re. The first one thank you! I've Ben trying to replace it with 'ka' but with my close friends it still slips out 😂😂
I agree that crouching makes the person likeable and respectful, I think it is a nice custom to have - just don't think it will take off in the UK 😂
The shoes thing isn't new for me, I'm half Jamaican and we always take our shoes off either at the door or outside. We think it is very rude to walk inside with shoes so I love that it is the same in Thailand 😍
Thank you as always for such kind words ♥️♥️♥️
I can definitely relate… every time I come back from Thailand I have to remind myself not to wai when saying hello. I still do the little head bow when saying thank you. I love the little things about Thai culture. All the best on your adventures in Thailand. Love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
I love that! Thai culture is so beautiful so it's great we are spreading it without even realising 55555 Thank you so much for the well wishes and love - sending it right back at you! ❤
การก้มหัวเวลาเดินผ่านคนอื่น เพราะวัฒนธรรมไทยถือว่าหัวเป็นสิ่งที่อยู่สูงสุดของร่างกาย คุณอาจเคยได้ยินมาบ้างว่า การข้ามหัวถือเป็นสิ่งไม่สุภาพ (จนถึงขั้น Rude หรือ Disrespect) ดังนั้นการก้มหัวเล็กน้อยเวลาเดินผ่านคนอื่น ก็เหมือนเป็นสัญลักษณ์ว่าคุณไม่อยาก "ข้ามหัว" หรือขออภัยที่รบกวนอีกฝ่ายครับ
โอ้ น่าสนใจมาก ขอบคุณคะ
This is good!!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Very good observations. You've picked up Thai well.
Thank you very much 🙏🏽
your video is make me laugh lol so funny I like it.
555 thank you so much!
I like this video Lol😂 👋🏻hello from Thailand
Thank you so much - hello 👋🏽
You are beautiful I like to listen to and your videos
Thank you! 😊
Wow some of these are similar to korea! The “eeurrr,” the hand wave, and calling the waiter over are all habits I’ve picked up from living in Korea! ^^
Oooo no way! I wonder who influenced who, or if these could be things common to many Asian countries 🤔🤔🤔
The crouching probably originates from trying to keep your head below the head of elders. Like if they’re sitting on a chair or on the floor and you’re walking past you crouch to try and make sure your head is below the level of theirs (to some extent) which shows respect.
Oh that makes so much sense! Thank you for sharing, I love knowing the history behind customs etc. 😍🙏🏽
I agree that waving the way brits do looks seductive 😂
I'm never going to look at the wave the same way again 😂
I just lost my new job. So my dreams of moving to Thailand ain't gonna happen this year.
So sorry to hear that! I hope you find a new job soon and can move to Thailand 🙏
@@VictoriaReign Still on the job. My boss was only pretending to fire me to teach her ungrateful little brother a lesson. Wish she had let me in on the plan before hand instead of having me stress myself out these past few days.
@@ShanaJahsintaWalters Oh so glad to hear that, would have been nice to have let you in on it! Least now your dreams will come true!!
@@VictoriaReign Yes that would have been the considerate thing to do.
In Thailand, if you raise your hand up to say Thank You like that, Thai people will think that you are trying to say "Sorry" or "My mistake." and yeah. just a little bit of nod that's OKAY for someone to understand "Thanks" from your expression. 😀
good to know! Got to make sure I'm sending the right signals 555
Remember though when ordering food .. you'll only be saying "Pee" พี่ to someone older than you, otherwise it should be "nong" น้อง .. you're maybe young enough that most waiters/ waitresses are still younger than you .. not so much for me 55
Thank you for the reminder! I often say พี่ by default because I've fallen into the trap of "I learnt this and so must use it" but recently I am trying to remember to use น้อง if I think they're younger than me...although it is sometimes hard to tell 555
