Typed 'Thai Mindset' into Co-Pilot & it came back with this :
The Thai mindset is a rich blend of cultural values shaped by Buddhism, social harmony, and a joyful approach to life. Here are some key concepts that define it:
[1] Sanuk – The pursuit of fun and enjoyment. Thais believe life should be pleasurable, and even work should have elements of joy. This value permeates social interactions, celebrations, and daily routines.
[2] Sabai Saba) – A relaxed, easygoing attitude. It reflects the Thai preference for calmness and comfort, often expressed through smiles and gentle speech—even in serious situations.
[3] Mai Pen Rai – Translates to “never mind” or “it’s okay.” This mindset encourages letting go of stress and not dwelling on problems. It’s a cultural balm for disappointment or conflict.
[4] Kreng Jai – A deep sense of consideration for others. Thais often avoid direct confrontation or saying something that might cause discomfort, even if it means not expressing their true feelings.
[5] Saving Face – Maintaining dignity and avoiding embarrassment—for oneself and others—is crucial. This leads to indirect communication and a preference for harmony over blunt honesty.
[6] Respect and Seniority – Elders, teachers, and monks are highly respected. The traditional greeting, the wai, reflects this reverence, with deeper bows and higher hand placement showing greater respect.
Buddhist Influence – With over 90% of Thais practicing Theravada Buddhism, values like karma, mindfulness, and compassion shape everyday decisions and interactions.
Anyways, My thoughts.
[1] How can owning the current binfire of a club be fun & enjoying?
[2] DC : "I'm quite relaxed about how things are going"
[3] "Dejphon. The club is a complete binfire. Care to do something about it? Or sell it?" DC :"Never mind, it's okay"
[4] "A deep consideration for others". You mean....like staff, players, fans?
[5] Ah yes. Now this could make some sense. DC does value this & deserves great credit for the "dignified" way he has gone about things
[6] "DC : Be respect, Customers. You need to bow deeper & have higher hand placements. Preferably in your wallets when you are giving me more cash after selling your houses. My wai or the high wai".
My sense of disappointment is palpable
