GuestHouse Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) I've just lent a Thai colleague ten Euros to buy lunch, she told me she had forgotten her purse this morning, I'm not sure I believe her. She's on a full expat package here, earns at least .. well an awful lot.. but I'm worried she might not think its enough, I'm worried she's going to rob me. Should I bring this up in this afternoon's Project meeting or should I get one of our other Thai staff to intercede on my behalf? I'm worried if she looses face she might turn nasty.

LaoPo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Baht 500 for a lunch (10 Euro) ? Also: A Thai collegue on a 'full Expat package' (making an awful lot of money) ? Hmm... don't understand. PS: sorry, just saw you're in Rome/Italy. Just ask it back, simple as that. Don't bring it up with the entire staff.

GuestHouse Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 No, well maybe, it's just the too often assumption that Thais are on the make that came to mind when I lent a colleage money for her lunch. Though it has to be said, I am considering adding interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
