Do you still remember those 'Bollywood dancers' I told you about in class? Those two students who 'danced' along the street in front of my kid's school at 4.30 p.m.--the busiest time of the day!
Do you still remember the two devils in high school uniform I found 'body-searching' and 'kissing' in a glass elevator full of people at around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon in a crowded department store?
What has got into their minds? Are these acceptable behaviours among teens?
In both cases, those 'in action' were wearing their uniforms. The first couple were just 'Bollywood dancing' along the street--hiding behind trees, running and hugging and giggling. The second ones were beyond my imagination. I still couldn't understand why they didn't feel 'shy'.
Don't get me wrong. I was educated in the US. I saw kids kissing at malls, supermarket, or even in the back of a bus. Still, I've never thought it's appropriate. Even American parents don't think that it's appropriate. So, don't blame the western culture. It's us who 'choose' to behave a certain way. These behaviours are done by 'choice'. You choose to do it.
Teens can fall in love. They can hug. They can kiss. But in private! Love is a very delicate matter. You can easily turn something so beautiful and romantic into something really nasty and disgusting. The very thin line that separate us from other animals is right there where you can stop yourself from putting a 'show' in public!
Tell me what you think.

About Bollywood dancers and two young devils.Love is beautiful and perceivable of two persons.But these should have to limit of it.Although they love each other very much,they ought to know and shy with persons on all sides.It may be don't blame for the western culture.They should realize’’here is thailand’’ which people don’t accept with this.
IF I think in other words.They might be young too much thence do behavior not suitable and not at the right time.
It is cause which I not choose to do it.

Ummm.. I think about ‘Bollywood dancerd’ that’s too laughtable. They don’t care anybody who were watching them.If I were them I would be really shy and embarrass 555+. I know love is a good thing.Hugging and Kissing are sign of affection among a boy and girl, but you shouldn’t do it at whatever time and place.Kissing in public is dirty,especially for a girl. I mean it look you’re an easy virtue girl. That’s too bad!! na ka

I think,it is unsightly behavior. Thailand has good culture but a time teenagers get western culture, I don't blame it.I sympathize with their parents.I know teens can love but don't show in public.For Bollywood dancers and two young devils,a bad thing is they wore uniform and in afternoon,has many people.They ought to think of a lineage especially woman,they should do behavior suitable in age.

I think it's the bad manner.It's not appropriate in other country not thailand only.
Love is beautiful thing but you must know what is appropriate to do.If you have boyfriend or girlfriend
you must have a little private activity together but I think student in secondary education must have only to hold hands.

About this story I think,it is unappropriate because this age is teenagers who should studying.Although now love isn't a wrong thing but this doing isn't acknowledge in Thailand or Thai's culture.Thai people perceive this story is a private affair that it should not do in the public place.Also the doers are teenagers in high school so I think, it's embarrassing.

they doing behavior not goog in the public. they are still student and then they wear a uniform.
It's behavior to ashamed.
Now, behavior of teenager change from before.You think

in the event culture of Thai is beautiful.

Hello AJ.Primjai
I think,love in a student is not a wrong thing but we should beware a behavior to do a suitable thing for ourself. About Bollywood dancers and two young devils are not polite to do in a public place or in a student uniform and suitable for thai culture.
Human should realize what they have do or not, or what suits for doing or not. They should know how to stop their thoughts and their behaviors.

I think their behaviors aren’t appropriate because they don’t respect their uniforms. They didn’t feel shy to show their love which is a private action. They must forget that ‘this is Thailand’. I think love is a good thing but you must have consciousness when you have love.

'Bollywood dancers'…..First time, I have listened to your story, I have really funny and thought that was joke story. But I try to think it again after I have already read your blog, I find that is very serious joke story.
I don’t know what that couple thought to do those things in public places but I’m sure I won’t do such like those things. In the past I ever thought doing those things weren’t wrong in public place and I always blame the western culture. Now I know I myself misunderstand about the western culture.
I know about different of instinct human and animals, the very thin line that separate us from other animals is right there where you can stop yourself from putting a 'show' in public!, that is truly correct and I agree with U.
In my point of view, everyone can hug, kiss and etc but only one you must recognize "Is it appropriate?".

Hello teacher
About Bollywood dancers and and two young devils. I think it is unappropraite. They are a student.
Although they love, they should shy and respect their uniforms.
If they wanted to show the LOVE,they should show in private.
Nowadays, teenager in thailand receive the western culture which adult don't agree. It is becoming to problem of society.
Everyone should mend it instantly.

In my opinion, it's very unsuitable to show those behaviours among the crowd. Especially, when wearing high school uniforms or university uniforms because it makes other people look down upon your parents, and your institutions will lose reputation too.
Not only A.Primchai but also me used to run into the same situation. Around 3 years ago when I took and extra tutorial class at Siam Square, I found "body-searching" in a crowded extra class room. I thought it is too fast for adolescent to do something like this.
In summary, everyone can fall in love but you ought to choose private places to display your feeling with your lover, such as, hug and kiss.

I think these behavior of teenagers in this story aren't appropriate. Even if now world step into a new period but culture and tradition remain at now. Thai peple have to act culture and tradition strictly but sometimes Thai peple admit the western culture. Now,Thai teenagers copy the western culture to spend to daily life very much. But some culture don't appropriate to show in public such as "kissing" which the other Thai people don't admit it because it looks disgusting. Moreover,in this story,teenagers kiss among a crowd in the department store.It does beyond limits. The other people think that it's misconduct which doesn't occur to Thai teenagers. When a couple wants to kiss,they must to do out of sight,don't show in public. Because children may observe them. Thailand is a nation which have nice culture and tradition Thai teenagers must keep and succeed to a younger generation.

Love is beautiful for everyone, but how do we show about love? Some culture accept the act which many people show their love in public place, but not Thai culture. Because, Thai people think it's unsuitable, but we can touch one's hand and walk together. Thai people usually show their love such as Kissing or sex in personal place because they think they accredit for their special person.
About Bollywood dancers and two young devils. In my opinion, I think it' unsuitable behavior very much because they are student and young. In other words, they are Thai people and show their love among a crowd in elevator which is public place so I approve of A.Primchai.

After I listen your situation. I think it's very bad and I can't accept this behavior because it is'nt suitable although it"s a personal right. Thai is the nation that has the good culture and practice long time ago and the ancestors have inherited to their descendant.But nowaday Thai people admit the western culture too much therefore it give result to Thai's behavior especially for the teenager. In my opinion this problem is worrisome so everybody should to pay attention to solve this problem.

I also don't agree with this action.
In my opinion, i don't agree with couple teenagers who still students kiss and hug.However, i know it's their rights to do that.
But If they want to kiss or hug, they should do it in the private place. They shouldn't do this thing in the public places where there are many people.

Hi,A.Primjai
"Bollywood dancers and two young devils"
How could they do this?
In my opinion. I can't believe this can be happen. I've never heard like this before. Thai people can't accept this. No children and teen would kiss in public place.It's not our culture to do this.I think it's very stupid to kiss in public place.I can't accept like this.I agree with you.

Hey guy!
For me I think there is no any right or wrong about the human behavior ,but the action we show is from the thought. So ,it's the cause why we learn a lot. We study to know what can do or not in which time or place. This thing construct the custom social in each other country and the people at that place have to act at this way like everyone do. For someone like Bollywood dancers or two young devils there are no go to warn or admonish ,they are may didn't get any knowledge from studying because of thier abnormal brain or something eles I don't know.
However ,in Thailand it's very obscene and filthy to do like this in the presence of people.

Love is giving but not to give him or her body
Love can not be designed but can control
Love is the best thing to have....
In that both cases is very funny and shameful
I think, the real teenager shouldn't be like that
The real teenager might be "Think before do something"
If i were them i would be really shy.
and if i were their parents i would be sad
that they could not control their own children.
When i was in abroad, i have met such these cases
and i thought it was normal for that culture
which can do it in the public.However, here is thailand
, it's absolutely not to do
this thing........d i s g u s t i n g ! ! ! ! !
okay.,we should not conclude that "Bollywood dancers
and two young devils " is the most people, this behavior
is the least in thai social and it's difficult to see 555+

About Bollywood dancers and two young devils.I think it isn't suitable becauce they're wearing uniform and they're very younger. Love is beautiful but they shouldn't show this behavior. Thai people can't accept this tradition. Thailand teenager 're recieve from the western culture.
It isn't suitable for thailand.

Hi
love is a wonderful thing
but in this case I think it not suitable for showing their love especially in the public area and wear an uniform . The main cause of this action is come from receiving the western culture and do it in the wrong way . They can show their love but in the private area and without wearing an uniform 5555+

I think "Love" is normal feeling in every one throughout teenager and adult.But about behavior,It should appropriate.If you're in uniform,you ought to increase more carefully about your behavior.At least you should think of your school.
Nowadays society have many problem.One of them is problem about love in youngster so we should good model for child.

Refer to Thai culture, kissing and hugging or showing affection is unacceptable in public. As we know love is good, but to show your love or affection to your lover does matter. If you do something wrong in a wrong place, wrong time, exactly, you will get blame or up to curse! Be conciuos, Be aware, what you are doing is showing everything about you and your background.

I think, Love is beautiful thing. Every body can have love but there are many performance. In both case I think it’s unsuitable because we live in Thailand and we have own culture.
Kissing and hugging you can do but shouldn’t do in public and shouldn’t wear uniform because it can make lose educational fame.

For the incident, Bollywood dancer and two young devils.I think it's not appropriate for Thai culture.
So this behavior,for example kissing,hugging or running around Jakapan building can do but do in the place is out of sight.If you show these behavior,you will be a detestable for people.

In nowadays, we Thai people received more western culture. Something just don’t look right when you do it in Thailand (or any places else.) Teenagers want to express their feeling and emotion that’s the right they can do. But sometime they just do it the wrong way. I think not every youngster want to make out or show their love in public places.
So , when you want to do anything , you must think before do anything and don't forget one thing that we're from different culture.
