Isn’t it interesting how people all have different comfort zones? Swiss people are touchy but only to a certain extent.Couples hold hands, hug and kiss inpublic. Its quite ok to get a hug from from someone the opposite s.e.x … Its quite
something else if you hold your same s.e.x friends hand. In Thailand, its different.Couples often don’t touch in public but
its normal to see girls holding their friends hands and boys holding their friends hand….
I am glad that we don’t need to kiss everyoneon the check three times when we meet here. In Switzerland it was how I always met my friends. But in hot season its much nicer to just wai. I often wonder if the comfort zone between Thais and Swiss is different. I honestly don’t know. I’ve talked to friends about this and it seem that people from both cultures seem equally ‘touch deprived’. Maybe Swiss and Thai are more similar than you might think….

When talking about the cultural difference, it's better to tell you where I come from. I am from China. Sometimes I can see foreign men kiss each other when I go to work in the office building. They do so when they meet in the hall. Frankly, I don't have a good feeling to see it. It is weird that a man will kiss another man even if they are just friends.
