Foek Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Many Thai guides went to do something else during covid and have a steady income now. So a Big shortage for guides now even when salary is 850.- per 1/2 day or 1,700.- for a full day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and the photo seems to be of construction workers - unless tour guides have taken to wearing hard hats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1964 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 There's a lot of Thais, amongst many other nationalities working illegally here in the UK, without work permits, paid under minimum wage, housed for 'free' by business owners etc under the radar of incompetent border security and tracking of migrants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth White Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Lord, don't let Thailand turn out to be like America. Illegals are a huge problem in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Aged Grouch Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Should rather legally hire foreigners in shops for instance due to local sales staff who often cannot speak a work of english. Or at most hire all the bar stool girls as sales staff, who have great language talents. Edited March 26 by Middle Aged Grouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbonEagle Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I’m sure one of the main issues is many Thai kids don’t want to do dirty jobs they think below them. This is propagated by the modern habit (in most countries) of parents not pushing their kids to get out and get a job, anything to start, and you go from there… instead they often prop up their lazy entitled lifestyles, they are imo doing their kids a disservice in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 You cannot find Thai staff willing to work - simple as that. I lost a maid in charge of mopping the restaurant floor and three rest rooms clean at a staggering pay cheque of THB 17'500. In addition to this, she got her share of the service charge; never under THB 7'000, a free quality Thai meal, one day off a week and one month paid vacation. She left as I had two, three suggestions to improve while facilitating her job like keeping the rest room door open after (daily) mopping and using a floor fan to speed up the drying prior to opening. Apparently she lost face .... A kitchen helper doing crockery and glassware was asked to help the kitchen staff in helping to wash up pans (every dish is cooked in a clean new pan). She was not busy at the time but said, that she is here for crockery and glassware and not for pans. When I mentioned to her to help her colleagues (exceptionally) she took of her apron. While everyone thought she went to the look - she had left the restaurant and never returned. Burmese, Laotians and Cambodians perform much, much better for the same amount of money - problem there is that you hardly get an official permit. The Thai bureaucracy is in full steam and hence quite a few of other restaurant and hospitality operators just hire them illegally as they cannot be a"*ç%*%d with all that paper nonsense. You're welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTB1977 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I know many farang who run businesses and have headaches over thai staff. Mostly due to them not wanting to work. Or working is too hard. I can't work a full 8 hours. I need time on my phone or a 2 hour break or I can only work 3 to 4 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
