Public displays of affection are not commonly seen or even commonly accepted in Thailand, as well as other Asian countries. Other customs have developed as a result. A very noteworthy and loving way of saying “hello” with body language is what Thai people call the “sniff kiss.” The first time I encountered a sniff kiss in Thailand was when my neighbors met my children and their first move was to smell their cheeks, sometimes their hair or their necks. The shop owner, the fruit market seller, the coffee vendor, all of them sniffed my kids almost every day until my kids started running away from it.

How do you Sniff Kiss?

The basic physical act of a sniff kiss is to put your face close to the other person’s cheek, neck or hair and sniff them with your mouth closed. Sniff kisses can have different connotations depending on who gives one to whom. A sniff kiss from an adult to a child is a sign of affection and happiness. A child wouldn’t give a sniff kiss to anyone that isn’t a parent or a close relative. Grown adults give children sniff kisses along with smiles and shoulder squeezes and plenty of pleasant comments like “how cute”, “so beautiful” and likewise. Another type of sniff kiss is one that lovers give each other. It is obviously much more romantic in manner than a sniff kiss to a child. You will never see a Thai couple kissing or embracing in the street, that kind of affection is kept for behind closed doors. Overly romantic sniff kisses in public are also not very common since they make your skin tingle and brain water.

Public Displays of Affection

Thai television and cinema will hardly ever show a western style kiss, only sniff kisses and innocent ones at that. The Thai people are very conservative when it comes to affection. They are also very keen on cleanliness. The act of sniffing each other as a sign of affection is a way of making sure your loved one is clean. It is a way of showing how much you appreciate that from them. Thais not only take two or three showers or washes (with pots and buckets) a day but also cover their bodies in powders or creams to always smell fresh. Thailand smells of clean people, it is no surprise they enjoy sniffing each other! Find out more about Find out more about Thailand and cook delicious pad see ew

Valentine’s Day Cocktail – Scarlet Kiss

An Easy and Delicious Valentine’s Day Cocktail

With Valentine’s day quickly approaching, I thought I’d enlist the help of my sister, Angela, who was a bartender for several years, to come up with some delicious Valentine’s day cocktail ideas. As you can see, she didn’t disappoint! Karlynn and I normally skip out on Valentine’s day ourselves because the anniversary of when we had our first date is February 11th. Instead, we celebrate a few days early which, thankfully, means we don’t have to fight a million other couples to get a restaurant reservation. This year, however, I think we’ll enjoy a couple of these on the 14th because look at it… If you really want to get fancy, you can go as far as dipping the rim, which Angela did in this case, in a red sugar which can be purchased from most bakery aisles of the grocery store. Add a nice looking strawberry to the rim and you’ve got one heck of a beautiful drink. You could even try dipping the strawberry in chocolate before adding it to the rim to make it even more romantic. It might get a little messy but it sounds like a good idea to me! Let me know if you try it and it works out. Another great cocktail to try for Valentine’s day is my Cupid’s Arrow.
