Yingluck Urges Thai Workers To Upgrade Skills

[Sayonarax]

LOL, Yeah learn your trade, don't just think you know how to do it..

Reminds of the moron who installed my front door.. Measure 0 times cut 40 times.

There is very little incentive for the average Thai to go to college or upgrade their skills. It will do little or nothing to get them beyond an office job making 20-25,000 a month. Meanwhile, the elite business owners make fortunes by charging western prices but paying workers Thai salaries. I'm still flabbergasted that Thailand, a country with a tourist and agrarian economy, has 10 billionaires.

Sitting at home or earning 9000 is much better than earning 20 000-25 000

Not long ago our landlord decided the back sliding glass door/window needed security mesh (also sliding). His tradesman drilled 36 holes for dyna-bolts in the floor tiles and wall before deciding that it would be better outside the house.

Small things

My team of professionals were tiling the floor, all tiles were yellowish color, which they finished(as they broke half of them) so they went and bought more and finished up the job ONLY to have the "more" they bought were white, so half the floor was yellowish and half white.

They were very proud to show me the finished job, only to be disappointed when i refused to accept multi colored floor.

The punchline was, when i asked them why would they buy different color tiles? the response was the guy who they sent to buy was colorblind(as in really he was colorblind)

Never considered taking one tile along to match.

I distinctly remember buying tiles for a job, and buying one pack to many to cover breakages.

On returning from work to see the floor with 3 chipped tile in the floor I asked, why didn't you use the extra ones? I thought you wouldn't notice. What's the point, one can only ask?

Most likely would work if he was not colorblind

But why on earth out of 5 people, would you send a color blind guy to buy matching tiles

How about "mai pen rai"?

Dear PM Yingluck how about you do some upgrading skills yourself? We all know you badly need too.

English would be a good start

Thai language would be a better start for her.
