Jai Yen Yen Keep Cool Baby

One of the most important behaviours in Thailand
is to keep a Jai Yen, a cold heart. So keep cool Baby !
Jai jen, translated as cold heart means self-controlled,
cool or even-tempered.
The opposite of Jai yen is Jai ron,
hot-tempered, furious or annoyed.
If You want to clear some kind of a problem in Thailand
You should always do it with a Jai yen and a smile,
even if You´re very angry. Don´t show it !
Keep cool Baby !
If You behave hot-tempered and start to shout to somebody,
You will loose Your face and You will earn nothing more
than a compassionate smile.
So keep Your countenance !
Jai yen yen !
Keep cool Baby !
