Popular Post colinneil Posted August 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2018 This man is just a typical example of government officials here. Did not get the job on merit, but on the size of the brown envelope. Then after getting the job they are not qualified for, they obtain the pathetic hi-so attitude, do you know who i am, i want this and i want it now, or i will make problems for you, bloody pathetic a++e h+|+e. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the obnoxious people trying to show their imitation "Hi-So" status in Asia ,Thailand seems to lead the pack.The attitude of the people seems to be a copy of the county's government's attitude of disrespect of any citizen they deem under them in status."Monkey see,Monkey do".Now compare it to the politeness of the Japanese. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be thousands !!!! I have been told that their punishment -most apt-is to count the used EMPTY brown envelopes and stack them in large piles in warehouses until they can be recycled again and again. Hence they are still positively contributing to the truly unique flavour of Thai culture and society and should be duly acknowledged as being an essential part of it.?

hotchilli Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It's how it works over here in Thailand, with position comes status, with status comes power, with power comes the opportunity to lord it over all subordinates or general public.. the trouble is most are willing to take the s**t they give out and cow-down to their peers, so it continues!!

Popular Post chama Posted August 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2018 Lots of comments on the idiot who overestimated his importance in the world and the unfortunate aspect of Thai culture that allows that type of attitude to exist but not much on the hotels General Manager. I'm happy to hear that he stood up to the arrogant clown and protected his staff. With more like him perhaps some of this behavior will go away...hopefully. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a local head official to sign a form stating that the person in a photo (me) was me. She spent 10 minutes or more making excuse after excuse why she couldn't do it, until I just got up and talked out. My wife was angry with me and before she left herself wai-ed the official for taking the piss out of us. The problem is Thailand's rigid class system. I'm from the UK where such a thing is said to exist although that largely disappeared in the 60s. But Thailand is infinitely worse. Everyone has to bow down to someone, except those at the very, very top of the tree. That pisses them off, so they in turn piss on those below them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacuum Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Quote Mr Than asked for a room with a Jacuzzi on the fifth floor of the resort. Staff explained that the resort was nearly fully booked with guests, but managed to offer him a room with a Jacuzzi on the fourth floor Fifth or fourth floor, what's the difference, had he made a plan for a balcony jump?

spidermike007 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Than Sintawalai, Chief of the Department of Rural Roads Krabi office is a very small man. He was abusing his office. He is a self entitled little worm. If this government took itself seriously, he would be fired in a nanosecond. Chief of the department of rural roads? Imagine how important someone with a real position considers themselves here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'm unclear as to why this Krabi incident is featured in the Phuket News forum. I know the story came from the Phuket News media outlet, but they do cover matters from all over the kingdom. Krabi locals may have some valuable input if this thread was in their forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
