Asian ladies and older man grabbing cheeks and slapping butts for children

Asian ladies and older man grabbing cheeks and slapping butts for children - Woman in Green and Brown Long Sleeve Shirt

Ok so my kids are 'suffering' (not really, lol) from elderly people in South East Asian countries (Thailand and Cambodia).

Their cheeks seem to work like magnets for the hands of old ladies and they grab on to them like their life depends on it...

Also older men seem to like slapping my 5 year old boy on his bottom when he doesn't see it coming...

Is this some sort of tradition or they just are like 'jerks'?
