I will most probably obtain some criticism from my submission
I have been to Thailand, for over 30 visits and I was curious at the majority of bar ladies that speak and understand English? Most of these ladies come from a underprivilege background and have received low quality education only up to Primary School.
I would go to a bank, post office and most shops and I would have difficulty in communicating in English
My theory about bar ladies being conversed in English is because they had to learn it to survive amongst the competition. The rest of the population don't care and don’t put enough effort into learning English.. Put it to the test, if you see a new lady in a bar and not very proficient in English and if she still there after three weeks you’ll be surprised how her English has improved
