Au contraire! Humor and storytelling in Thailand is FANTASTIC and translates well around the world. Due to its geographical location, Thailand is - and has been - a central hub for global trade for hundreds of years, and draws influence from all corners of the globe. And with Bangkok being a multi-culti metropolis of ex-pats from everywhere, art, humor and sub-cultures thrive in modernity.
