was going to drive up today but seeing that <deleted>efest will go later in the week

5000 a day.............christ u must be ugly

Heres where many make the mistake with ME that I tell them (staff) what to do..I dont Im out there doing it, day in day out for over 10 years, building houses, digging trenches, laying block ,welding roofs, weeding, in 40c sometimes where you burn your knees on the steel but closing in on 60 its getting harder for me, saying that the youngsters have no gumption. You get used to it and its NOT that hard you just get on with it, first thing I look for in new workers is calloused hands like mine, often theyre puppy soft so i know they havent done any manual work. Its me doing the work the staffs only job is either to mix the concrete ( concrete mixer) and bring it to me or cleaning up tools after Im done. Only thing I couldnt do was the rendering which I got some locals in for. Some of the recentish things Ive done built a garage 12 mx4, did everything and finally laid tiles . None of them have much in the way of skills I just want someone to keep it tidy bring and fetch stuff pass me things so their work is often watching me and nothing else, until I need a new mix or cleaning up but its me laying the tiles grouting putting up ceilings etc.

And those "poor" ALL have a phone, never seen staff without one ever.

Do you really think I have no experience............right now theres a huge amount of those "poor" conning employers that if they pay ther travel fares down they will come mostly for farm work, read ome of the facebok "wanted " ads for workers............guess what, they get sent the money and dont show. As I mentioned I have had people on this forum tell me they have someone good for the job, Ive paid the fares down, theyve been useless. When they do turn up "if they do" they arrive with nothing, want paying daily, which we do, they get through about 2-3 months max then off they go...........later youll find out they have no job again form relatives in the village.

No, what Thais want is everything the UK has without the costs

Made in Thailand..........your guarantee of quality

Start with health and safety, they may well want a different political system but the facts are whilst Asian economies have boomed the Uk's has stagnated. and is in decline for more than a century.........would Thais also want the UK costs of living the Uks laws enforced particullarly on the roads, would the Thais like to finance that through tax as many here dont pay tax at all. The UK is over regulated and stifled to death.

There seems to be an element around here that they work 2-3 days get enough money for beer spend the next 3-4 days drunk then quit, rinse and repeat

And "if" thats the case why dont those looking for work travel then? Theyre lazy + Issan isnt all of Thailand either...Wife is from Issan she knows the scre with the locals up there, she knows all too well including many of her bone idle family. Seems plenty of replies here are seeing what I see in regards to employment of Thais in general and their work attitude. As a ps Id be more than happy to take any of those 200 baht a day workers, reality is they probably want 200 to sit on their <deleted> all day.

As the UK has been dying for over a century I doubt it will make any difference whose in power, stifled by laws restricting anything whilst Asia laughs at it for its correctness.

And full of the reality.

Its 2 stops which doesnt bother me, all I need is a lie flat bed, New Planes first world airports, first class lounges, new 787 dreamliners........ not Bangladesh Airlines

bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha 10k a month, which century was that in?.........try minimum 12k and upwards for field work PrachuapKhirikhan

hmmmm

No not in Thailand, most just drift thru life day to day...........enter the reality of many Thais, they give almost zero though to tomorrow.which is why they up and leave a job.

OP I feel your pain, its quie simple though, many of them are bone idle from what Ive seen over 10 years, they also have no thought of saving or of tomorrow, they get a fist full of cash and off they go...........then a few weeks months later their reality sets in and they go off for another job. Ive said this before but salary is not the deciding thing for them, they often get bored also. In my 10 years Ive had two decent workers, the rest have been total drivel. Burmese..........doesnt make much difference these days, found them going the same way. Ive posted the same for years , to be met with the "if you paid them a decent wage " blah blah blah, usually posted by a bunch of clueless morons. I have one lad now, hes doing the work usually done by two people, but he does it with ease and has lots of free time , proving to me what I always knew that two people is overkill, not only that he only has 1.5 hands........lost 3 fingers in an industrial accident. His salary is 15k a month + house electric water , motorbike, fish. Ive used him 3 times over that ten years but he does get bored, it maybe with age he sees its his best choice, his salary increases each year by 1000 a month. He worked here about 8 years ago, stayed for 18 months left, came back 18 months later stayed 18 months left, came back 14months ago now. Many Thais simply dont have any get up an go...........but they have plenty of GO.............oh yeah and theyll tell all their friends you were a krap employer also. Dreading the day when my lad leaves.

if you know where to look and can pick and choose you can get some EXCELLENT fares. I got a Business class Bangkok to the UK flight on new 787 dreamliners for 1700 uk pounds return leaving September back end of October, lie flat beds and all the other fripperies. Compared to many of the carriers this fare was half their prices..

ok big boy

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 4 .there adjusted for Thailand

Pah....was that the side order? heres mine a few years back since closed down

Thankfully no Thais ever break their laws either...

Hes on that good old fashioned railway...........the gravy train

"if u go down to the woods today your'e in for a big surprise" Ask any Rohingya, not so much brushed under the carpet but dead and buried https://www.reuters.com/article/thailand-myanmar-rohingya-idINKBN0NN0C120150502
