Sandman77 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello!! did someone ever try to find out the reason,why in thailand lies,are more important,then not loosing your face? i found a intresting articel about this! http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thailandinformation.de%2Fluegen-go-hog-thailand-925-pictures.htm in the 7 years i visit thailand now all together ofer 2,5 year,i find out,that also promises not exits! most people,want your phone number,call you mabe back one time,but mostly the never call you back,when you make a apointment,at 10 o clock for example,the day before talk long time what we do,but then nothing happens on the other day! in particular, I still do not understand why lies not in Thailand have the same status as the loss of face for yourself! the bad thing is that there is no forgiveness in Budishmus or forgiven! had long 5 years, a long acquaintance with amassage woman on Koh Phangan, because of a miss understanding in Taxi Price 17 € for 4 km, I meant no insult them while trying to whether the entity is still what would even make it, since she speaks no longer with me: ( other people, even thais have told me that it was them self also fared so, because of a missing kitchen knife, she was suspected, and has broken off contact then also, we think indeed to have friends, but only for the moment in Thailand! in case of disagreement, is mankritisiert, conversely, the Tahifrauen tolerate that I've met in the last 7 years, no criticism, and then very quickly angry! I think the reason lies in the, for us from other cultures, downright cheesy and brutal love films in Thai television, there is the people in a false stereotype idyll exemplified exactly what is reflected in their behavior! when contending whole life, sees people in e tv, located near this conclusion! to this conclusion, but it is not when you get the first time as a tourist to Thailand! until now I have not found a way to win back a lost face again! any ideas,or advice how can handle this,also in the relationship and daily life?

Sandman77 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 it depends on the complexity of the topic itself! you can not know all gram grammatical words, therefore helping Uncle Google! Most English-speaking people that I've met on the road told in any case your english is better then my German! So book now for further Original theme, where the text does not understand, andcontribute nothing to the topic, then please do not reply too! Criticism alone, it does not, would be my line so boring, why did they ever clicked! all criticize me, wiedersprechensich on that point myself! nobody is perfect!

The problem is that nobody understands what you are trying to say. Do you know another German with good English skills that would be able to translate for you? Maybe there is a German speaking member here who could help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get your head round those two rules Thailand becomes easy. yep, makes perfect sense. I do it everyday at work. agree with everything and say you will be there. turn up if you want or not. even if they miss you, they will forget in a few days. definitely good advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Dear trolls and flamers. The OP's post is (almost) entirely understandable. If you can't understand, I suggest you don't post ........ that may be the case, but his anchor articel [sic] is rambling nonsense, and is backed up by a video which is about a guy lying to get a girl, hardly unique to Thailand as a theme. I also believe his primary complaint has to do with getting stood up by Tahifrauen [sic] in the kitchen with a knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Making arrangements and sticking to them is rare,think 15 - 30 mins would be nearer the mark,everything is decided quickly and can be altered just as quickly without notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Dear trolls and flamers. The OP's post is (almost) entirely understandable. If you can't understand, I suggest you don't post ........ Perhaps you can summarize then. Is the OP trying to say that all Thais lie all the time? Because I don't agree. So if his premise is clearly bogus, his disjointed explanation of something that doesn't exist is somewhat pointless. And of course, I'm sure the OP is suggesting that he never lies and is the most honest person alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 What is the subject, why Thais will seemingly let things go, not speak up, not argue for something even when they're in the right so they don't lose face? Yeah, it's odd. People have carte blanche to rip you off as you don't want to argue sometimes. I assume he's saying he disputed a taxi ride and his girl got all stroppy about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
