	The 'Land of Smiles' ?
		Travel brochures often portrays Thailand as the happy-go-lucky 'Land of Smiles', an impression the Tourism Authority of Thailand are more than happy to go along with.
		The reason is there's a much broader range of uses for smiling in Thailand, some of which would be considered as inappropriate or even as rude in the west.
		Similarly it helps to know, for instance, that people smiling if you happen to trip up may not actually be laughing at you (yim yor), but just giving you a yim yair-yair to try and stop you feeling embarrassed.

		Land Of Smiles (LOS) - It surprises me, that despite being called the Land Of Smiles how many Farangs I see in the bars with solemn faces.
		At the end of the meal we declined the dessert menu but were given a complimentary plate of local fruits (I suspect, at the request of the waitress who had smiled at me, since she served it).
		One time I helped the bell boy up the ramp with his trolley when he was struggling, I helped one of the chamber maids pick up some towels that she had dropped and bought some paracetamol for the receptionist who had a headache.

	Travel to Thailand with Dennis Peacock » A Land of Happy Smiles
		After the tsunami, many of us were afraid to smile, for fear that it would be insensitive to those who were grieving, but when one feels so utterly powerless in the wake of a natural disaster, the one thing one can do with absolutely certainty is smile.
		A smile might not go very far in stopping a bullet, or bringing money into a desperately poor country but it is a start.
		As the Land of Smiles, we have an obligation to set an example to the rest of the world.

		Land of Smiles includes much deftly delivered quiet humor about trying to decode American life, even as it is lived by his earlier-emigrating relatives.
		The romantic maneuvering of the adults in the refugee camp is also mostly played for humor, though Boontakorn is deeply offended that various matchmakers are looking to match his father with a second wife.
		In Land of Smiles so is the (homo)sexuality of Boontakorn, whereas that of Fong Mun was wispy, but explicit.

	Travel97: Thailand: Land of Smiles
		As the people shop and work in their open-air markets and eat at their ubiquitous roadside cooking carts, a Westerner taking photographs is a cause for self-conscious giggles, not irritation.
		Yet these women were the politest of all the tribespeople, had the quickest (and most becoming) smiles, invited the tourists to pose with them for photos and displayed handicrafts for sale but did not even hold them out for inspection.
		Controversy simmers over the practice of putting on the neck rings, at one time placed to make the women unattractive to rival tribes, then considered a sign of beauty, but now perhaps a tradition continued solely because it brings tourism revenue to the small tribe.

		Leaving the Land of Smiles is not all too difficult as long as you catch one of the thousands abundant taxis around town.
		Once you have left your suitcases in charge of the people in charge, leaving the Land of Smiles becomes even easier.
		Because I have just realised that many people at the airport seem to have created a joint effort in making the departing traveler board his plane with the least amount of superfluous local currency left in his pockets.

	Thailand: Year's troubles give reasons to frown in 'Land of Smiles'
		Thailand's rapid growth as an "Asian tiger" during the past decade was cut short this year, brought to a halt by overspending, wild lending and corruption in governmental and financial institutions.
		Only about six percent of Bangkok's land is dedicated to roads (compared to 20-25 percent in most major cities), resulting in notorious traffic jams.
		"The Land of Smiles" is not just a tourist slogan, but an expression of the way the people face a challenge: with humor, a shrug of the shoulders and one of the most common phrases in the language.
