metaben Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have had "walk away moments" all over the world in most every country everywhere.... This is true for me, and it is the ultimate power, the power to not take anyones s**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1w4yR1da Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 They've got a buy-one-get-one-free special going at the moment. Imagine the "farang are stupid" giggles after you left..Right right! It must be the 'farang' that's stupid. No way could it be the Thais not doing their job. If it was a 'a buy-one-get-one-free special' then this should have been clearly signposted at the display. Or once at the point of purchase, the customer should have been given an extra item without being questioned about the number if items he's buying. A short '2-for-1' explanation is all that's needed. Basic retail customer service. But oh-no! Not here in LOS. And resident Thai-apologists ridicule the westerner. Nah, he's just used to shopping in a professional environment.

wym Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You're right, not that way here. Yes stupid to expect retail customer service to be "professional" the way you think it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louse1953 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thailand isn't for you. This is how most of asia works, not just Thailand. Perhaps go to Jamaica for a few months, then come back to Thailand. I agree,Fat is just a knocker of all things Thai,but he is still here.I am lounging in Katmandu at the moment and if you want to see how not to run a city,get up here,18 hour organised power outages,traffic a shambles,but people are cool and food ok.No cold beer due to no power.Thailand is 1st world status in comparison.

Sorry to be slow to reply as i have been adventuring in Langtang area and am a bit buggered so have been napping.Maybe we can compare your photos with my slides from 38 years ago.I will come down to the adventure capital of the world,Phuket if you like,but i am afraid i would be sadly disappointed as i havent been since 76 when Patong was just a beach,heard its gone to the dogs a bit,but im sure you like it.

khaosai Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's not just Thailand, so don't make out that it is.....last month I walked in to a bed shop. The sales guy was on his mobile, speaking in Hindi. I am familiar with Hindi so could tell he was talking to a mate about a girl. He looked at us and looked away, carrying on his conversation. I waited patiently for 5 minutes. He kept on glancing at me, but refused to put down the phone. I am fairly sure he is the kind of salesman who is on a measly retainer but a good commission. Next time he looked at me, I waved my Platinum card at him, smiled, and walked out. He was an idiot as I was fully intent on buying a big bed. Should have just jumped into the bed until he was finished on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loles Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Man, I remember you well. You always blame the Thais, the Thai culture and Thailand at all. So, grab the next "walking away moment" and of course grab yourdelf too, and walk away to PKT International Airport, and finally grab your flight to home. At home you grab the fat ladies, the big bills, the over regulated life, and grab a tissue to blow out you nose after crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
