For outsiders, Thai people are mostly described as easy-going, fun-loving, friendly and passive. This is partly true. One explanation given by a social scientist is that the belief that all is determined by one’s karma, one of the tenets of Buddhism,
provides the Thai with resiliency that keeps the society stable (Neher 1987). One has to be satisfied with one’s lot. Some people might possess a great dual while others have very little. This is the result of one’s karma.
