This area, accessible to everybody, is totally entertaining. On this page, the Thai's words who lend themselves with pleasure to the game of derision and photo's comments, do not always have to be taken seriously.
 .How do they...
... work so hard?
Since the crisis hit the country in 1997 the job market has not been stable. Thais that have work, however tough it is, hang on to it and work hard. It's not uncommon either to see construction workers on site at weekends. How do they manage to work so hard?
... fix the power lines?
In good working order, in need of repair or dangling precariously from their poles, the number of electric cables of Bangkok hanging above our heads is astounding. When there's a power cut, how on earth do they know which one to fix?
... they keep the Zen?
Have you ever seen an image of Buddha with a drawn face, looking tense or stressed? No! All images are serene. How do they do this? It must be Zen!
... get to be so graceful?
The performances are exquisite, the traditional Thai dancers have an unrivalled delicateness rival. How do they get to be so graceful?
 ...
... stay so calm?
The infernal traffic and the urban pollution are an integral part of the legendary Bangkok image. How do the citizens of the City of Angels live with these problems, day in, day out and yet keep their cool in the traffic jams?
... cope without mobiles?
The enormous growth of the mobile phone market in Thailand shows how this device has become indispensable to this country. What would they do without their mobiles?
... keep smiling?
The legend is totally true. From early morning to late evening, the Thais just keep on smiling. How do they do it?
