The tourist brochures call Thailand the "Land of Smiles". In this one instance they probably got it right. But that does not mean that the Thai culture is one of simplicity and complete harmony.
It is a complex society and a newcomer probably won't go more than a few hours without committing the inevitable cultural faux pas.

Buddhism asserts the most influence on how the Thai people see their world and live their lives.
