Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 I am sure the street hustlers will be impressed with your behavior. Does it feel you better when you do that? For 5min or is it a high for the rest of the day? 1 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brianthainess Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Oh dear you really do need Psychiatric help, can you not get it in the hospital you clean. IMO you are mentally disturbed, going by your posts. You haven't reported back about giving Prisoners in Thailand Psycho help, how did that go ? if they weren't Psycho before your visit they sure would be now. Seriously you sound like a danger to others and yourself. SEEK HELP ! 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Daley Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 1) Price Gouging. Selling a needed thing at a higher price. But for the taxi driver it would be racketeering. 2) Premium Pricing Strategy. Always have a high price to make the product look better. This is done at Tops, Villa Market, Shopping Malls. The same crap as Seven Eleven but 10 times the price. Because people feel better when they spend money. Edited May 12 by Chris Daley 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Def give this book a read (warning: no psychometric analysis): https://silkwormbooks.com/products/way-thais-lead It's about the Thai concept of Face (as in: saving face). Synopsis: if you keep going out of your way to humiliate very poor people, you are making them lose face. And it's only a matter of time before one of them punches you in your's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I live in a condo building and there are several motorbike guys (the same guys) that camp out near the driveway all the time. They just sit there on these small plastic chairs for hours staring at the condo complex waiting for some foreigner to walk out. Most of the time people are headed to the 7-11 which makes it even worse, as all expectations for a fare are dashed. There's not much foot traffic. Any movement is met with a clap or other odd gesture to get attention. What an awful job! Makes me wonder if one of these guys is going to snap one day, get violent, or something similar. I would go nuts with just a blank like this. At least a security gig has rounds to do and other tasks. What do these motorbike guys typically make in a day?
