LOS: do you know why?

Thailand is commonly called LOS in the slang language...
do you know why?
 
LOS actually means: "Land of Smiles" 

Thailand has been called LOS by many people who live here and many who visit this charming land. The “Smiles” seem to come from a combination of the beautiful countryside, the laid-back, pleasant Thai people, the lower cost of living, a more relaxing pace, many opportunities for fun and entertainment at affordable prices, and the many other advantages of living in the exciting Orient.

The people of Thailand are gentle, fun-loving and easy to get to know. 
If you try to learn the language, you will endear yourself to them as they love to hear foreigners try to say their words.
You can smile at any Thai you pass by, while walking on the street, and that person will most likely smile back at you.
