“MAI PEN RAI”

The favourite Thai fib of all time. And not only do we tell ourselves this, we also tell other people even though the situation is definitely not OK. Speaking our minds is just not what we do; we beat around the bush until the other person either gets the point or walks away. Even when we’re livid, we avoid disagreement at all cost. As great as these traits are, being unworried all the time also comes with a heavy price. Why do you think we’re always late and never stick to deadlines? Because of the damn mai pen rai!
