Popular Post NoshowJones Posted April 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2023 With the exception of their road behaviour and low mentality, I have always praised the Thai people for their honesty, decency and being non confrontational. I have never had problems with shop assistants from when I arrived here about 16 years ago, but since the pandemic, my experience with them has been terrible, and it's all being about the same thing. I entered a shop to get a key cut, I had been at this shop three times recently, and had no problem, it was a woman serving then, so I went into this shop a couple of days ago and this time it was a guy. I handed him my key along with a big smile, he then started shouting loudly and madly waving his arms about like a madman shouting No! No! I entered an AIS shop with two assistants and no customers. and the same thing happened one of the girls shouting No! No! or similar and waving her hands about. I promise you that the next time someone treats me like this, I will jump right down their throats. I will not take that attitude ever again from anyone. 3 10 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokReady Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It does seem that post-covid Thais are a little less happy and friendly overall and a little more hostile to foreigners. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just state one example. Parents who give their motorbike keys to their 10 years olds. If you don't think that is low mentality you are the one who should provide a photo of yourself. Do you want any more examples? 5 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't any, I just went in the same as any other customer would, just showed the guy the key I wanted cut, just the same as before when their was a lady assistant. In the other instance this bitch just started before I even opened my mouth. 2 hours ago, brianthainess said: were you wearing speedos when out shopping.
