Sorry I haven't been here long enough to make generalisations but here's a few which relate to one Thai person I know...

My wife: of course it would make more sense to get out and walk to the restaurant in 30 seconds rather than wasting our life sat in this taxi which has barely moved in 30 minutes due to the traffic

My wife: today let's have a nice full English breakfast, fish & chips for lunch and an Indian takeaway for dinner

My wife: let's take the maid out for lunch and shopping today

My wife: can we change the channel? I don't want to watch any of this nonsense about ghosts or vampires

The farang next door complained about the noise. Let's be quiet so we do not disturb them.

Private Hospital: No Sir, there's absolutely no need for you to wait and meet a specialist who'll see you for 5 minutes and then disappear never to be seen again for which we charge 10000 baht for the privilege and then stay here for 3 days in one of our 20000 baht a night suites while we run a battery of financially crippling tests. It's only a headache. Here's a couple of free paracetamol and off you go.

( Or from my own experience )

Nurse: You're right Sir.It was completely unprofessional of me to take a personal phone call while I was halfway through inserting an IV into your arm. You were fully justified in filing a complaint and I must apologise for giving you a snotty look as you left the hospital.

Any Thai restaurant manager: "Is the radio too loud?"

"would you like a different type of music?"

"would you like to dine without music?"

"Is it ok to have the TV blaring?"

"Is it alright with you if the TV and radio are on loud at the same time?"

"Would you like MSG in your meal?"

"Would you like a half bottle of mayonaise plopped on top of your salad?" (only in backpacker restaurants, because Thai restaurants don't offer salads with fresh veges)

Any Thai woman: "No thanks, I don't care to run my fingers through your blond child's long hair"

Thai driver approaching on narrow street, "no problem, I'll pull aside and let you pass first."

Chinese restaurant owner, upon seeing large snake in park, "No, don't kill it. Let it live like it should in the wild."
