Guest kjun12 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Thailand appears to be in a lengthy and perpetual napkin shortage. Restaurants, cafes, etc. fail to supply any form of napkin and when they do it is a small tissue with little or no use. I wonder why this is and what caused this cultural habit. Most interesting is the holder, in street cafes, which holds a roll of toilet tissue for table use. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Do Thais have longer tongues than westerners and so do not need to dab their mouths and cheeks? Quote
Rogie Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Do Thais have longer tongues than westerners . . . Shouldn't be too hard to conduct some objective assessment here. Maybe some of you recall at school where the biology teacher asks you to go home and ask all your relatives if they can roll their tongues or not. Oh well, maybe some of you never got round to that. How about setting your Thai friends a tongue twister. Courtesy if Wikipedia I found this: "ชามเขียวคว่ำเช้า ชามขาวคว่ำค่ำ" Chaam khiaw kwam chaaw, chaam chaaw kwam kham - The green bowl is upside-down in the morning, the white bowl is upside down in the evening.

Guest bbillybb Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Maybe it is the cost of napkins and the over use they would get if they put out the typical USA style of napkin..Im sure a lot of waste would be had..But those toilet things are a bit much and some of the napkins are really useless too...anywauyys moving right along...
