Note: the same practice also applies to the wider world outside the family. Kinship terms are used as address terms, as well as personal pronouns. For instance, Thais might address a street vendor as “saster or rother”,or a friend of a parent is often referred to as “aunt or uncle”
In Thai culture, everyone seems to have some kind of family tie. When you feel part of a family,tne social bonds are strong and harmonious.
