意味
Having expensive tastes or high goals.
文化的背景
The head is the most sacred part of the body. Acting 'Hua Sung' is not just about money; it's a metaphorical violation of the traditional social order where one should keep their head humble. The rise of 'Hi-So' culture in Bangkok has made 'Hua Sung' a very common label in social media comments, often used to 'call out' influencers who appear too extravagant. Junior employees are expected to be humble. A junior who acts 'Hua Sung' by using luxury items that outshine their boss might face social exclusion. There is a strong cultural push for 'Sufficiency Economy' (Sait-ta-kit Por-piang), which is the direct opposite of being 'Hua Sung'.
Don't use it for yourself
Unless you are being self-deprecating or joking, don't say 'I am Hua Sung' as it sounds like you are admitting to being a snob.
The 'Hi-So' Connection
This idiom is the 'anti-Hi-So' weapon. It's what 'normal' people use to keep the social balance.
