    I’m mindful that topics like &quot;boundaries&quot; can sometimes reinforce stereotypes. My goal is to provide a cultural lens to help you understand the average interaction, acknowledging that Thai society is constantly evolving.<br><br>🇹🇭 Take your learning further:<br> It’s the app My friend and I are developing to help you learn Thai : <a href="https://speekeo.com/">https://speekeo.com/</a><br><br>☕ Support the Channel:<br>If you found this breakdown useful, you can support my work here: <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/realthailander">https://buymeacoffee.com/realthailander</a>

    I&apos;m consistently impressed with how you can articulate so many nuances of Thai culture in language that encapsulates it in a meaningful way for foreigners (westerners) to understand. Thank you!

    Good stuff bro, very few people talk about insight deeper into thai culture which is prob very important for a lot of foreigners living here

    I really appreciate these videos about Thai culture. This is one of those things that you simple can&apos;t google. It won&apos;t show up on any list of differences between Thailand and your home country. It&apos;s one of those things that only someone who has lived in both world can describe and is so difficult to find!

    Very interesting post! As a Thai who has migrated to the Western world, I&apos;ve found that learning about &apos;boundaries&apos; has been the most challenging concept for me. It&apos;s taken me a great deal of time to adjust—whether in dating, social groups, work, with school friends, or making friends in general. The way you described the difference between Asian and Western boundaries/culture makes total sense.

    Brit here. &nbsp;My English mother is the same and didn&apos;t like me doing my adrenline activities when I was younger. &nbsp;Even now, at 53, she don&apos;t like me riding a motorbike in Thailand because she worries lol. &nbsp;My Thai gf took care of my English teenage daughter very well when she came over, even took her to Central for some shopping then a cocktail bar for cocktails. &nbsp;My Thai g/f also scolded a falang man for looking at my daughter inappropriately lol

    I keep loving your videos. You have a totally unique take on life and express difficult topics very skilfully. You would have made a great lawyer, but I&apos;m glad you chose to be human instead. You have real and rare empathy.

    Very interesting. My partner and me in thailand have been together for 16 years and have a lovely 8 year old son. I am from uk and we are still trying to sort out our &nbsp;cultural differences..as we carry on our journey of loving each other. There is really nothing bad I can say about it.
