Dear Hillary,
I read somewhere that the way you can tell if a Thai girl is lying is that you will see her lips are moving. That’s a real put-down of Thai ladies, isn’t it? I’ve only lived here for six months, and I don’t think they are that different from women anywhere. All, females think different from us. Is it really that bad, Hillary?

Dear Ray,
Males and females do have a different way of looking at things (the Mars and Venus approach). What foreign men consider to be a lie, Thai women may look upon this as normal. Thai women will also tell you what they think you want to hear, so it is kind of lying again, but with good intent! Is that a ‘real’ lie or a fib? Working out human relationships is very difficult, Petal. The breakdown of marital relationships is very high throughout the world, not just in Thailand either, so it isn’t just a local problem. However, I did read that 60 percent of Thai women admit to having affairs, but I have no figures to confirm any of this.
