I am Turkish and I was kinda surprised after seeing this: L-) "men wear long bended swords in baggy trousers and turbans, have long beards; women wear a headscarf" This is so rare to find this type of people.. We have modern way of clothing like other Europeans and it is so true that we are nationalists! =D> Hey!

Well, maybe the one that said: "always trying to outwit government and regulations" apply to the whole country but most of the others don't. It's like saying all Americans are rich hollywood stars, all British are royalty or everyone in France is a street performer. I'm sure that's not the case.

Plus... arn't we seen as competitive?... in addition Rastafari would be a better replacement for the God part. The "not smart" part hits... but when i think about the population vs the rest of the world, it averages out like that. My day wud have been made if i saw "competitive"... oh i missed.. (live in trees??? cmon "man" check our ranking in world economy-- we're better than half the world's nations) =D> Good stereotypes but the lazy part is way off… lazy ppl wuldn’d have a bunch of fast runners (check sprint runners in track)… Plus… arn’t we seen as competitive?… in addition Rastafari would be a better replacement for the God part.

Well, we are not that violent. If you compare our violence to the violence of other nations you know what the hell I am talking about. Oh! About being ignorant you may have reason. But not everyone. And you forgot something: we love codfish and young people love beer. I think that's all. Big kisses. Hello from Portugal! Well, we are not that violent.

Please understand that they're only one group in multigroup of people in Thailand. But another things you'd write are very brilliant and true! :) Excuse me, I just want to tell you that all Thai women and men aren’t just like definition in this text.

I'm Indonesian so I know very well how that stereotype really matches. Nice one with America too. XDD I mean, well, Indonesia ARE that bad most of the times, that's why sometimes I hate my country's people. :)) :)) :)) No objection about Indonesia, that's for sure. Since this is "stereotype" I needn't say that you're wrong, stereotype means not all but most of, so if a few are out of the things you have mentioned, well it's natural. MOST are like that, true. Kudos for you! You're a really good observer. LOL this is brilliant. I’m Indonesian so I know very well how that stereotype really matches. Nice one with America too.
