“To be Thai is to be Buddhist.” (we get that a lot)

“When you are running away from tiger, you will run into the crocodile.” (haven’t seen either, but a few snakes)

“Christianity in Thailand is like sticking a finger into Buddha’s belly; you can make an impact, but once you pull your finger out (slurp) it goes right back out.” -Bruce Geske- (referring to the importance of establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with Thais)
