Thai Lifestyle

Thailand is a paradise for those seeking alternative lifestyles. The phrase most often spoken and practiced by Thai people is "mai pen rai" which means "it does not matter".
This true for religion, since 95% of the country is Buddhist and they actually practice tolerance of other's views.
It is also true for sex, with centuries of:

  • promiscuity with multiple partners both within and outside of marriage,
  • brothels,
  • an obvious population and acceptance of:
    • gay men,
    • lesbians,
    • lady boys
However, the downside is that this attitude also applies to:
  • time - "Thai time" which could be an hour or even days late
  • money matters - especially repayment of loans
  • planning for the future - more than a day or two
  • personal commitments
