The people of Thailand a friendly nation
Thailand is one of our favorite countries in the world for many reasons. One of the reasons is that Thai people are Amazing.
Thailand contains beautiful tropical islands, many delicious street foods, and many of the best beaches in the world. But the natural beauty for visitors is the opportunity to spend time with the locals. That’s why you will love meeting Thai people.
Here are ten reasons why we love Thai people so much!
FRIENDLY
There’s a reason Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles. People always smile when they see them on the street, in restaurants, and even at the police station. You’ll immediately find that most Thai people will start a friendly conversation with you and are naturally interested in hearing about your travel plans in Thailand.
Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles, and that doesn’t just mean tourists. Fashions and trends come and go, but one thing Thais always seem to wear is a smile, and it never goes out of style here. From a cashier at 7-Eleven to the old ladies you meet on the street, smiles are everywhere and can significantly impact your day. The friendliness of the people is noticeable from the start; Taxi drivers will ask you where you are from and will do their best to contact you, whether it’s mentioning a football team or asking about your travel plans. All over the country, some people want to interact with you, and that’s an excellent quality in our books.
Helpful
Thai people are steeped in their culture and always help when the opportunity arises. You will see it everywhere: in the supermarket, in street markets, at the airport, etc.
Whether tourists are essential to the economy or because they are by nature, Thais will always help you. From recommending restaurants to assisting with directions, they make visiting a foreign country and culture easier. Despite the language barrier, they go out of their way to help, a quality that is both admirable and friendly.
Effort to Communicate
Anyone who has been to Thailand knows how difficult it is to learn the Thai language. Luckily, Thais will do their best to speak English with you. They may not have the pronunciation and make mistakes, but they work hard, which is a redeeming quality.
CREATIVE & ADAPTABLE
As creative professionals, we value other creative souls that Thailand excels in!
We love how Thai people always put their spin on everything! Other examples include endless arts and crafts displayed in the sprawling open-air markets.
Thai people are so adaptable to everything. Part of that is that they love to jump on trends and fully embrace the ride. You can see it in all types of societies, such as the artisan coffee scene, world-class dining, street fashion, and the acceptance of foreigners.
Out of all the foreign countries, you can genuinely feel that Thailand is your second home due to the Thai people’s acceptance of foreigners.
Unbeatable Hospitality
It’s part of Thai culture to respect others and, above all, to take impeccable care of guests. This is reflected in the tourism industry and is something you will experience in hotels, restaurants, tour operators, and across the country in general.

Patient & Encouraging
Buddhist teachings include patience, and as Thailand is primarily a Buddhist country, you will fully appreciate Thai people’s patience in most situations. This is one of the reasons they are so resilient and seem to recover from chaotic situations, like the military coups/political uprisings that happen every 6-8 years.
You’ve finally decided to order your favorite dish in Thai. Things just don’t go quite as planned, and instead of calling his spicy papaya salad, he’s pretty sure he said something lewd. But they don’t care about the best. They’re glad you’re making an effort and will help you do it well.
They’re fantastic: When a backpacker picks up a guitar and starts singing (probably Wonderwall), it’s often an agonizing moment. But when the Thais do it, it’s different. There’s an attraction in the way they do things and behave that makes things seem effortlessly cool. From Bangkok trendsetters to beach-dwelling hipsters, Thailand has its fair share of cool people, and rather than trying to keep others out, they let others in. And we are grateful for that.
