With the Thai penchant for emulating their heroes, especially movie super stars, one has to be careful not to instil ideas in impressionable minds. Apparently, the Japanese have a suicide syndrome which many follow unthinkingly, due to inordinate academic or business pressure. Though the same pressures could hardly be claimed for the majority of Thais, nevertheless, they do like to be copyists. One often sees this among lovelorn bar girls who, when jilted, readily slit their wrists.
