- Thai culture does not permit telling lies. Again words have different applications.
- In western society people tell ties all the time, not only in politics, but to children, friends and in business and government of the people for the people. In the west we dismiss these as '' white lies '', not important, or being polite to avoid the truth to confront someone. Not so in Thai culture, so travellers should understand a strict interpretation of the concept of a lie applies and when a Thai avoids telling you the truth then you know this is his or her way of refusing to lie.
