America is the land of possibility whereas Thailand is still a developing country. While most people in America are expressive and speak their mind, people in Thailand are humble and tend to keep things to themselves rather than discuss things openly. Thai people get embarrassed easily and generally have low self-esteem because Thai's are brought up knowing that there are others in the world that are superior. There are many differences between the culture in Thailand and in America with one being cuisine. I researched the Thai culture to better understand their ornate decorations in the restaurant and found my understanding of this culture was misconstrued. I will discuss the Thai culture and how it was represented at the restaurant and discuss how my experience could be beneficial in the healthcare setting.
