tonboy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The thing that surprises me the most is that every streetvendor and every marketvendor uses a calculator to calculate the money i have to pay, and after handing over 100 bath they again use the calculator to know how much money they have to give back. Even at McDonalds they not seem to be able to calculate by head... At a market, for example, I used to give money like 107 thb, if the bill was 87 thb. So making it easier for them to simply give back the change, being 20 thb. ... I do this not anymore. It makes it only more complicated for the Thai. Do not not learn mathematics at school ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ever noticed how long it seems to take to pay for anything ?) * Double pricing. * Food not coming out together at any restaurant. * Being totally ignored, while people speak directly and only to the wife. * Supermarket aisles blocked with boxes of stock with no thought at all for customers. * Motorcycles with no lights at night. Perfect, especially the last 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost like, wow, this is so weird its cool: 1. Whistles. 2. Roosters 3. The rubber bands on take out that are like Gordian knots. 4. Fat falangs in wife beaters. 5. Ladyboys on Sukhamvit. 6. Shouting the virtues of whatever is being sold in markets at the top of their lungs with a long drawn out Kaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. 7. Loud phone conversations in the BTS. 8. Ketchup on pizza. 9. Planters or benches in Condos at ankle level with sharp edges. 10. No underwear or socks allowed in washing machines. 11. Plastic bags for everything. 12. If it doesnt have a rubberband its taped. 13. Toilet paper instead of proper napkins. 14. 2 baht for ice. Im sure there is more, thats just from the past two days.

Arab sellers at MBK, they get a triple eye roll ???? Stalls right next to each other, selling the same thing at different prices and refusing to budge. Do you have x? Yes, I get for you. Run to a different stall and bring back X. 200B. No. Paeng. Discount. No. Then follow them to the stall where they got it and cut a deal.

Billy Bloggs Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 My greatest is the surprise at the supermarket when they are told the bill and then begin dig in their bag for the purse or notes and coins scattered in said bag.

zaZa9 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 7/11 staff who have your change in their hands , but decide to do something else , or talk to their fellow worker , instead of handing it over.. Salaeng drivers who just pull out from the left without looking. Salaeng drivers you have just passed , who catch up at the lights by struggling up and down curbs and footpaths and end up back in front of you ...the lights go green and they take off at 5 km/hr again.

Went to a sporting goods store. I asked if any sales person in the store had ever played a sport so I could better describe what I was looking for (elbow and knee pads). No, neither of the two women or one lady boy had a clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
