At the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker and the one (wife) restaurant owner with the tired face both have been watching the 3rd season of "The White Lotus" because it's set in (Thailand).
They both really liked this one detail, where some hotel guests have an argument and the (ignorant) (American) mom calls (Thailand) "Taiwan," since they said that that happens a lot, where (ignorant) (Americans) confuse the two.
"If you're Thai, you get that all the time," the (wife) restaurant owner was like.
She then asked me if I knew what Taiwan was, and I said that I thought it was the island off the (Chinese) coast where the old (Chinese) government fled.
"But you know that because you are educated," she was like. "Many people here don't know that, and you don't see that, but we do."
And, she gave the example that people find out that she's from Thailand, and then they are like, "Taiwan?".
My one (chubby) (Thai) coworker also said that they have a shot in this one episode, where the camera pans from a (Buddhist) temple to a weedshop that's in front of it, and it was just great.
"Thailand is like that," she was like, saying it's so (Thai) to have something like that, where you see a (Buddhist) temple, and you just have this weed shop in front of it.
