I saw her on skype its all true..beaten up by her own family ....told her to get out quick...see has no friends to help her and the police wont get involved....unless you pay them....f..cking unbelievable country so corrupt

You saw her on Skype? here we go again

7-11 is the biggest proof of the laziness and incompetance of Thai people. One time a bunch of my buddies went into 7-11 during peak hours, there were 5 counters, around 9 - 10 employees (mind you this is one of the bigger 7-11s), and only one counter open and one employee working, while the rest were pretending to do something (but in reality they were just on their phones). After I asked them (in Thai, mind you), they just gave me a disgusting look and said some shit, then the rest just went to the back room leaving the one person to do all the work, with a good 20 other customers in line.

Needless to say, after they went to the back, we just took the beers and left. Management isnt gonna be too happy about a ton of missing beers from the stock.

So just to confirm, you spoke to them in Thai and they replied some "shit" ie you do not have a clue what was said?

And to teach them a lesson you stole beer?

I'm just hoping that those people who saying against Filipinos are so perfect . It proves to me that it takes time to earn respect from others. Sad but true.

Yes, some of you are true saying that my country is perfect for storms and landslides I'm just hoping that you'll never experience that now or someday because I don't want other people / other race to experience that.

It has absolutely nothing to do with respect but simple reality check.

Filipino do not have "special " skills to offer over a Thai to justify higher salary .

I always appreciate when someone reminds to Filipinos where they come from... They obviously abuse and try to get to high salaries when working for private companies, so at least the Thai educational system teach them well :-)

Hate to say but i agree. I get Filipinos applying for job weekly and every single time, for some unknown reason they think they are worth double to what Thai get and yet no relevant skills

Keep in mind their salaries back home are half to what Thai get here(exchange rate)

another example of a perfect IDIOT , to tell you frankly dude, I have 7 filipino staff in my company and they are all good in english, they have skills especially communication, IT skills, office works etc. as you said "I get Filipinos applying for job weekly and every single time" so what business do you have? SUMTAM shop? wahahaha or are you selling local thai rum? even your thaivisa ID name sounds funny and looks like justine beiber gay as shit.

learn to RESPECT others as you might don't know what will going to happen tomorrow, be nice and act nice!

When you learn to spell somtam, you can then talk about skills, respect and perfect idiots

Do you lot tip at Pizza Company?

I do occasionally but never in their box, always directly to the waitress.

What about McDonalds and KFC? Don't think I've ever tipped there.

Never tip at a food place serving meals for under 100 baht. I feel that I'm doing them a service by eating there, they should tip me.

Fast food places do not provide any service and hence do not require any tipping.

They just take your order and hand over the food.

It is not the same as being seated in the restaurant, waited on, served, and cleaned up after

All I know is at the first evidence of a mosquito bite, I rub it on the spot and any itching is gone forever. I am a believer.

Not joking or taking a pi$$, but next time you get bitten, take a pen and color it in, the bite is gone in minutes.

Must be some chemical in the ink

I think Windex works better

In case someone does not understand, its Greek remedy from My Big fat Greek wedding movie

Sorry off topic, but could not help myself

It's a problem everywhere. there are not enough jobs for uneducated/skilled people. Will get worse.

Of course in Isaan easy for unemployed men Send daughters/wives/gf's to Pattaya to get money from sexpats/sex tourists.... hang on they already do that! (I lived in Isaan and although a stereotype it is based on reality). The sexpats will be happy more unemployment increases supply side of girls and decreases prices/more choice etc. Journalists will be "happy" as they can report more about the flesh trade. The girls won't though. A man's world is Thailand.

I do still wonder about about a Socialist Utopia where everyone does what they can for the reward of a challenge and take what they need (aka Star Trek). So no unemployment. But humans are so well basically animal really. Greedy and selfish. Maybe we need to evolve more? Genetic engineering anyone? Next stage of evolution! Or is that Fascism. I need a beer to ponder that.

Rubbish.

Every business , on every corner is screaming for staff and half of them do not ask for education.

Restaurants , hotels, shops, resorts, rental places and list goes on

Not to mention construction sites and factories.

There are by far more jobs than candidates but lazy beings do not want to work, do not want to learn and will not sacrifice an hour of their life to get ahead in life.

They just jump from job to job looking for an easy money or an easy squeeze and move on, then take a 9 months holiday waiting for hand out.

In the last few days I have read adverts written in Thai on lamposts etc.

Wanted (mair baan) cleaners/maids, salary 12.000 baht per month, OT 56 baht per hour.

Van drivers, salary up to 20,000 per month.

I posted in another thread about a (business owner) friend of mine going to KK in Issan looking to recruit workers, he will have to pay 750 baht per day just to get them to come to Bkk, where free lodgings will be provided, he was basically told to piss off, they want 1,000 baht per day.

Some of these labourerers on building sites are now asking 500 baht per day.

Go and work in a factory in Bkk, uneducated with no English skills, 12k per month minimum, plus OT.

Do not need to tell me, i am so short staffed that i would employ a monkey if it could speak.

Tell your friend to be prepared that even if he paid 1000, do not expect them to do any work, they will still sit around and do nothing , while he does all the work

To Open a business account you also need 10000 pages of documents provided. minutes of meetings. board approval, dna sample, your fathers dna sample and your grandfathers dna sample. at the end they give you no atm "which understandable since its business account" cheque book. and every month they mail you transactions "which explains why the bank book is only few pages"

Never had a statement mailed in over 3 years

I wonder how many can sign their name in Thai?

I am trying to learn that basic now.

Do you wonder how many Thai can sign their name? i would guess a few million still just put crosses

With a listed literacy rate of 97%, I would guess you are incorrect.

And unlisted?

Yes of course, Filipinos would be idiots if they work here when they can earn the same salary in the Philippines. What kind of idea you have, lemoncake.

Same is true with most foreigners working here (please take note I am referring to working foreigners). Unless they work here not for the salary but for beautiful Thai women, low cost of living or just a part of their adventures.

Please please please do tell what skill they poses that Thai do not and do tell who forces them to come here?

And you do not think being paid double to what they can get home is not enough? it should be 4 times?

Why don't you take a flying <deleted> at a rolling doughnut? Why don't you take a flying <deleted> at the mooooooooooooon? That's what I would tell her.

The truck driver smashed her bike, tried to give her 2,000bt and a promise for the balance even though she screwed him on the repairs.... She refused the money and is now going to the cops to sue you, a long term customer?

Yes, all you've said is correct.

So, yesterday was the 6th (the promised payment day) Surprise surprise, the truck driver didn't turn up to make the remaining payment. The rental lady came over this morning, again with 4 of her friends (so scary ) She said if she didn't get the money by the end of the day she'll file a police report. Not sure if she wants to sue me or the truckie but again i said "Up to yoooo."

We'll see what comes of it....

She hired a mob

Oh good, may be the ones with the job will actually do some work and not go MIA after few weeks

Got to love TAT, so it's been so dramatic that numbers dropped only 5% , if that ???

Sorry have I missed something or has the OP been dropped on the head or a 4 year old?

This post is asking why do people have kids?

it would appear you have missed a lot

They cannot get credit cards cos they don't have money in the bank (or at home) cheap tourist who live in 200 bath hotels and pick up 500 bath street girls, som nam na !

You have got it all wrong.

Firstly they are the quality tourists and Secondly they live in 500 baht rooms and pick up 200 baht girls

I do not think it's a good idea to concentrate on what people want, only because what people want is NOT what they will necessary buy.

I would suggest concentrating on products which you can source at great prices and on sell for bargain prices as well.

Clothing is a hard item to sell as pics and sizes are problematic .

Food is highly perishable .

Gadgets , phones , electronics , toys, pet accessories, watches, vitamins, in my opinion is the way to launch

This is funny. The rental lady came in the shop this morning and told my girlfriend she had lost the original rental contract. She asked if we could fill out a new one and give her a new copy of my passport. Can you guess my response? Do one lady....

Why did you not agree to do one for a bargain price of 4000 baht?

Easy solution for you, when you feel the need to tip, you tip what you think is fair, after all it is your money.

If your gf does not agree you let her tip with her own money.

You will find she will no longer argue how much to tip

Get yourself Samsung Grand, its large size screen with decent features and priced at around 10 000 baht.

I would blame Honda, they are the ones who make cars with gears in the wrong places
