First DTV arrival at SuvarnaBhumi from Hanoi. Passport, A4Print Visa, Boarding pass. "Sawadee Krap". The Immigration Officer smiles happily, with an approving sound of satisfaction, upon seeing the fresh DTV paper. Oxytocin rushes thru my brain. She stamps and writes with a pen. Dopamine gets activated. "6 months, right?, I ask. "180 days" she corrects with an graceful instructive quality. The charming, calm and intelligent Thai Style puts me right back into that space of peace and joy. A "Welcome Back to the Golden Land" feeling fills me. With an ear-to-ear smile and a grateful "Kap Khun Krap" I receive back the passport, all within 30 seconds. Thai Culture really is warm, kind and respectful. Absolute Winner in SE Asia, and Gold score top spot in the world really.
kho hai thuk khon mi khwam suk
