Contexto cultural

Trust is often linked to the concept of 'Bunkhun' (indebtedness). If someone helps you, you trust them more, but you also owe them loyalty. Contracts are important, but the 'Wai Chai' between partners is often what actually makes the deal happen. Trust is absolute within the family unit, and 'Wai Chai' is rarely questioned among siblings.
