People who don't like to say "no".

Ludzie, którzy  nie lubia mówić "nie"? Gdzie ich spotkać? W Tajlandii ! W języku tajskim zamiast " nie" mówi się " nie tak". Trochę to skomplikowane...
Thai people don't like to say no. This is evident even in their simplest words: “yes” is chai and the closest thing to “no” is mai chai, which translates as "not yes.” This is more than just a simple language quirk. It reflects much about Thai society that isn’t apparent to outsiders until they’ve spent some time in the country. (.........)
Thailand is famously known as the Land of Smiles, and its residents pride themselves on being gracious and accommodating. As a collective culture, Thai people are taught to be more concerned with what’s best for the group rather than what suits them personally. Perhaps this is why “no” is always tempered with a “yes”.
