I can see what you are trying to ask ATM and it is a very difficult subject to try to discuss.

Difficult is what makes it interesting.
When I decided to really live here, I decided to put all of my preconcived western notions on hold. Maybe the west has somethings wrong and they have some things right here.
A lot of the activities regarding temples, spirit houses, and Buddism seems like superstitious nonsense to my western eyes. But I have really tried to approach it with fresh eyes and respect and understand it as the believes of my host nation.
Accepting and understanding the differences is what makes it an interesting place to live. Even if I don't always agree. I don't feel compelled to save thais from themselves and force them to adopt a western belief set.
I feel happier and more comfortable living here than anywhere before. I want to understand why.
