Bangkok Pics
Dear Bangkok - Khob khun khrab, swasdee khrab (thank you so very much)... adios friends (good bye friends)... we'll direly miss you all through our lifetime.. you gave us a reason to enjoy each moment spent in this beautiful land of smiles. We can happily spend yet another life cherishing memories of this pleasant dream.. May god bless you all with lots and lots of more happiness in time to come and accept our hearty thanks for all the love and affection you showered on us all these days.
Our stay at Bangkok has been nothing less than an ideal dream.. a lifetime full of smiles.. a smooth highway journey (that too on thai highways or a thai massage!). We made more friends in these three years than we made in our lifetime so far. We're highly impressed with the thai people, their culture and their zeal to keep it intact. We salute this country and its people. What's more interesting to see is that not only the localites but even the foreigners get drenched with their loving attribute.. as it's rightly said - smile is infectious. We met people of tens of nationalities there and even they also showcased their behavioural atrributes at par with thais.
Generally there's not much difference the way Indians and Thais lead their lives on day-to-day basis but it's worth listing down few points that clearly gives this beautiful country an edge over others. It amazing to see the folks smiling all day long, tidy streets with almost no littering, folks strictly punctual and truly professionals, country-first attitude, honesty a religion, respect for foreigners, respect for woman, caring for human emotions and their belief in celebrating life are few attributes that makes every expatriate speechless in this divine country.
We love our country and we're proud Indians. Undoubtedly, nobody can matchup with our stamina for survival struggle, our analytical capabilities, our adaptability and there're many areas where we're far ahead than any other. We've one of the biggest youth workforce and we're one of the biggest markets in the world. We're capable taking the centerstage and changing the world economy at our will. Having said that we still feel we've a lot to llearn from thais, especially from cultural, behavioural and integrity perspective. As a country we may want to set a goal to matchup Thais in next five years.
Love,
Hema-Oshin-Naveen
