oneday Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 My GF left her small purse at a small outdoor Thai restaurant with phone, 5000 baht, ATM Card, ID, Driver's License. Went back 20 minutes later and it was gone. No one else had been in this 4 table restaurant except the two workers and it was still empty when we returned. Nope, they hadn't seen it...yeah. By the end of the day we had it all straighten out with new ATM card, ID, DL, phone and money replaced (by me). However, I left my wallet at a fruit stand a while back. One of their customers pointed it out to the fruit stand owner. Later that night, still unaware I had lost it, I got a phone call from the owner telling me. She had called Bangkok Pattaya hospital to get my number. I had the hospital card in my wallet. Now that was going above and beyond. Good and bad.

Will2011 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Why do people feel the need to be aggressive when a simple question is asked? Why do people feel the need to ask questions when someone simply shows aggression ? Re-phrasing the same question as its author isn't a mark of enhanced cognitive thinking, but a 5 years old kid could do the same, just like people who have no argumentation to keep a mature discussion.

Popular Post glegolo Posted June 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2014 A Muslim woman and I both browsing the freezer had just swapped places and so I thought she had left it there.....I spoke to her and asked if it was hers...it wasn't, but she picked it up and said she will take.it straight to the staff. I thought to myself, "She's just scored an I-phone!" Good story, but why do you need to specify she was Muslim? What's the connection between a lost cellphone and being muslim? Ah stop it mr PC... She was a muslim, up to the storyteller what he wants to tell us,,, NOT up to you... Glegolo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradinAsia Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I am always seeing examples of honesty with the Thais. BTW See how you were mercilessly attacked in the first two posts! As nice as this is, I've also seen many examples of honesty with Thais, but they tend to be drowned out by the dodgy deeds. Btw, I like your definition of 'attacked', it's amusing. Yes, on reflection, mercilessly attacked was a tad strong. Perhaps I am commenting on the coming posts!!!! Coming posts, you can be assured the loser OP won't be among them.. Heavydrinker, maybe if you cut down on your drinking it might improve your miserable attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Thais have always been honest with me, and I am always surprised. Why? I am not sure that in the states that the locals would have been so honest. The Thai bashers have to make their point, although they can never back it up with examples. Nice post. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really recommend reading Bazerman & Chugh (2001) about implicit ethical biases, which give a good idea on how psychological ethics are founded by subjective judgments.

Commander Tamson Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 How people dress is a classifier - same as how people write - hence you being a nobhead Relax, as your emotions got carried away. Note that the OP didn't talk about the way she dressed. Well, I doubt he asked her; so how else did he know she was a Muslim? Of course she may well have said "Worry not young man, I'm a Muslim, and I'll take care of this here cell phone." I don't think so though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfaroukh Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Not happen to me but recently a lady returned a bag that belongs to an American with passport, credit cards and over 200 000 in cash to the owner. He gave her 10 000 Baht rewards. Not all Thai are bad, unfortunately in places like Pattaya and some other tourist area they have learned how to protect themselves against us and sometimes they go to far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradinAsia Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I don't drop stuff. Amazing to see all these superior folks on here who never drop anything or forget things in a restaurant. Now back to the real world -- folks often forget stuff here and there -- that's real life. Certainly, nothing to be ashamed of. I have left things in various places on a number of occasions. Maybe I live under a lucky star. One day, on the way to the computer shop I stopped in the bank to make a transaction. Then I walked out and left my Mac mini computer in its original box sitting on the counter. When I got near the computer shop two floors up, I realized I didn't have my computer. Walked back down to the bank, as soon as I walked in one of the staff came and handed me my computer. This kind of experience I've had numerous time and always some kind, honest Thai saves the day for me. Of course, I don't live in one of the notorious areas, so your mileage may vary, depends on your environs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This Forum Sucks! Every time the OPs get abused for nothing, no wonder no one posts anything descent on here. Most of the guy's on here have mental problem's I guess. I think its time I log out again for a couple more month's, this forum would wreck your head... The moderator heads must be seriously wrecked by this stage. Losers get a life! If it is that bad, why did you manage 143 posts? Wait till you need some help, ie banks, cars, computer, hospital, insurance etc etc etc. I bet you won't say this forum sucks then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will2011 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Insulting people is not the best way to argue. Articulated argumentations with valid examples have been proven to be effective. To sum up: I asked the OP why he used the term "muslim". He responded to me. Some others really got defensive (who knows why?). Back to the topic.

bananafish Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I left my phone at my arse while sitting on a busy street in Chiang Mai, only realised about 3 hours later, so I walked back to where I last remembered having it and a lady comes running out of a shop from across the street calling me over, she'd seen me sitting there, then seen the phone after I'd gone and took it and kept and eye out to see if I came back.
