Thai people are some of the friendliest people on the planet. Thailand is not called the Land of Smiles for no reason. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you will most likely be greeted not just with a gentle smile but with a huge warm toothy grin. You may be catching a taxi; ordering some street food; buying a pair of trousers or checking in at a five-star hotel. Thais smile for the simplest little reason and it is welcoming, reassuring and very heartwarming.
