Most of these kids are identified early and are trained by top teachers/professors. They are in no way a reflection of the average Thai student in regular schools (believe me, I teach them!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 960bt bottle of oil and tendered 1000bt. Even though the register showed the correct change the cashier checked on her calculator I've often totted up a handwritten invoice, reading upside down, and informed the clerk what the total is before they can finish entering on their calc. The look of wonderment is something to behold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
