Sorry for that. I was under the impression that he would like to have a pick up line for a Thai girl on the BTS. He also stated that he was fluent in Thai

We have exactly the same problem in EU, or the NW part of EU. Lack of skilled workers, truck drivers, Waiters in restaurants and Handy Men ETC. He** we don’t even have skilled people to dig a hole in the road. So now the companies are allowed to bring in people from the rest of the world. Of course, they don’t need to pay NW European salaries.

We are so short of skilled people so we even need to import workers to pick berries. This is a so advanced job so we can’t use the uneducated and illiterate Rumanian beggars claiming that they hate to beg and can do any job.

I have segregated (cleaned cans etc.) my garbage for years. Different bags for plastic, glass, metal/cans and paper. To make it easy for them to sort the garbage and to minimize the risk for them to miss something that can be recycled.

The cleaning staff at the condo are very happy to see me every time I go to the garbage room.

There is a truck coming once a week to buy paper, metal, plastic etc. and it is quite a heap the collecting from our condo. And it is the same at every condo along the Soi

Before shopping at IKEA, please search internet for “IKEA NAZI” and “IKEA East German political prisoners” I would never set foot in any IKEA shop

Nothing to do with the topic. Well, I guess we have all forgot CP Food by now. Not surprised, this is how it works, we’re all upset and demand justice etc. For a week or so, as soon as it is out from the news we forget.

Well, anyway, I have changed from True to TOT because CP Food owns True. TOT works good so far and even if it is a wee bit slower it is worth it.

I sent the following inquiry to 7 Eleven today. So let’s see what they reply and if I can continue to be a customer at 7 Eleven or to buy any other CP products

Dear Madame/Sir

As I understand it 7 Eleven Thailand is a brand owned by Charoen Pokphand Foods. I have read a lot in the newspapers and on the internet about Charoen Pokphand Foods and slavery/ human trafficking

I’m concerned as people using slaves, exploiting people and having a total lack of respect for other people just because they are poor and uneducated makes me cringe. I find it beyond comprehension how people can use other people like this. Sell their children as sex slaves and then force them to work where ever. How is it possible to live with themselves and how can these people, after having sold children and performing other atrocities come home to their children in the evening, looking them in the eyes pretending to have done a good day’s job. And what will become of these children when they grow up? They will most likely just continue as these atrocities are just BUSINESS as usual as mommy and daddy have thought them.

I feel bad just thinking about it, no, I get sick just thinking about it. Maybe it is a cultural thing as I’m from a country where we look down on people using other people like this. And they end up in prison. Of course, there is human trafficking and slave workers all over the world, so I’m not sitting on any high horses here. But where I come from they get caught when the Police finds out. Severe punishment, also for any Police and Politicians involved if that would be the case

And as a long time customer at 7 Eleven in Thailand I need some clarifications so I can continue making business at 7 Eleven. I have one 7 Eleven store just outside my condo but I have another convenient store just 50 meters further up the road.

I have found the service at my local 7 Eleven excellent and I want to continue doing my shopping at 7 Eleven. And I really hope that you can guarantee that Charoen Pokphand Foods are not involved in this atrocities. Or ever have been, just coming with a last minute “we’re so sorry it will never happen again” will not do it for me. If Charoen Pokphand Foods have ever been involved in any slave business it is already too much.

Please return with the good news that neither Charoen Pokphand Foods and 7 Eleven is involved as soon as possible

Best regards
