JimTripper Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Tell him nothing. It’s not his business. Does he do it to Thai customers, no, he just drops off and leaves. You deserve the same respect. Thailand is a class society. Taxi guys, maids, delivery guys, are lower on the scale then customers. Overly friendly chit chat on the job is a way of bringing you down to their level and you lose respect if you do it. if he baits you and you get annoyed you’re drawn down as well. Just a thank you and door gets shut. Edited July 26, 2023 by JimTripper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Just get a dog, he will piss off soon enough. Or be smart like me, place a plastic container with a thai laminated sign 'Post here / wife number' outside, all our packages go in there without any conversation or calls now. When the dog gets aggressive tell the post man you want to play a game; who is faster you are your dog, and give him 10 seconds to leave first.

Cut him some slack...Maybe he is happy to try & improve his English skills Thai's are not embarrassed to ask about money but you can say not much to that & be done with that But the other questions seem fine.

swm59nj Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Maybe he is just being friendly. If asks certain questions that are too personal. You can say to him some questions are too personal. He probably is curious because you are a foreigner. I have had Thais engage me in conversation. Especially when taking grab car. Asking personal questions are not uncommon in some Asian countries. I ran into that during my visits to China. Hopefully he will eventually take the hint and find someone more friendly and personable to talk to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luuk Chaai Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My wife must own stock in Lazada and Shoppe .. delivery trucks are her 2-3 times a day ( plus the local postman ) Rule 1 is no matter who it's for we use her phone # not mine .. and she will usually tell them to just put it over the wall and slide it down by the sliding gate .. for the times when I'm outside doing some gardening I will go and retrieve the package and it's usually them asking if the addressed to (my wifes name) is correct and the usual response from me is "Yes" ,, any further chit chat I just tap my ear and shake my head like I don't hear / understand ( I do ) and that stops it cold ...
