On the other hand, Thai employees who disagree with others just keep quiet. Niratpattanasai (2000) suggests that they do not like to make a quick decision, and they do not like to talk with co-workers in the meeting room. Many expatriates find that Thai people frequently seem to agree in the meeting room. Thai people always nod in agreement, but it does not mean that they are agreeing. They merely nod because they are polite and want to be friends with others.
