The problem is, it depends on where the Thai person learnt to speak English if they learn from their friends then that's the English they understand, not your English and yes many can speak some English but don't understand English hence the blank stare, then you have all the different English accents, my English accent is still quite strong so I have to tone it down if I'm speaking to a Thai or the staff at 7/11, but I can speak Thai anyway, Don't forget all the other foreigners like Germans/French/Italians/Russians all speaking their versions of English not easy for them, I remember sitting at a bar one night got these Russians trying to order cocktails and drinks and the girl was not understanding them, the guy remarked why don't they speak English, I chipped in and said they do speak English but you are speaking English with a Russian accent that's what they don't understand, ok tell me what you want and I will translate it for you,

No big deal, we own a condo and the locks a keycard which you need for other parts of the project if they had to they can enter our unit also the smoke alarm is linked to the security office they know exactly where it's gone off, We used to have a villa that had one of them key pads, it's easy to change the codes I used to change regular the one we had it used to burn through batteries, I have bunches of keys for other properties that are rented out and the owners are not here, tenants have been known to get locked out and lose keys, we do take a deposit for the keys, plus it's a pain in the backside getting new keys cut, -

The work permits are different and usually a separate department for Burmese workers but I agree with you, around where I live there has been a lot of construction over the last couple of years and from what I can see is mostly migrant workers,
