1: The 'Mai Pen Rai'. A marmite one this and dependant on the situation but, for the most part, their ability to say 'never mind' to things (sometimes forgiving a serious mistake of others that caused them problems) is commendable. Little things can cause real grief in the uk (like smiling at the wrong person) but here generally people just go with the flow. Sure you get the odd Somchai who slices someone up with a machete for disagreeing with the taxi fare but - few and far between.
2: "Have you eaten, yet?". Before the (now nationwide) greeting of 'Sawasdee khrap/kaa' was popular, it was "Kin khoaw ruu yang?" - Have you eaten, yet? They will now usually ask you this after the sawasdee.
That's the main thing Thai people worry about. Have I, me, we, you, he, she, they... had something to eat yet? Many a time, you will be invited to a table by strangers in Thailand to eat some food. Maybe enjoy a 'yaa dhong' or some hong thong too.
A very nice side of the people.
