By now, many of you may have heard the nickname for Thailand, “The Land of Smiles.” This nickname is a consequence of Thais seeking harmony over social conflict. The smile is used to defuse aggression, avoid confrontation and promote happiness. This is a trait that is derived from Buddhism and is promoted throughout Thai society.
