"wow " how come they dont speak english in Rama 9 ( kawasaki )

[papa al]

Bar girls usually speak ok English.

Enough to sell the product.

Why do they bother then writing the names of the streets in english ? Why does dtac ais 7/11 etc bother to do english marketing? Lol

So that tourists don't continuously bother the locals by asking them for directions in a language the locals don't understand.

You mean so that tourists don't keep embarrassing locals, asking them for directions that the locals don't know

Why don't you speak Thai to them, they the heel should the speak English.

They're doing you a favor speaking English at all.

And finally... why the <deleted> are you not speak Japanese to staff.

I mean it's a well know Japanese BRAND.

Your Thai is probably better than your English

In the big bike shops on Phuket you can see a large percentage of customers being foreigners. Sure longterm foreign expats are a tiny minority but on the other hand they are into big bikes and have the necessary funds to a much much larger degree than Thais which counterbalances this quite a bit. Bigwing has better management than say Kawasaki and I trust they know why they train (some) of their staff in english. It makes business sense and doesnt cost much really.

These people are supposed to be at least half way decently educated so chances are they learned the basics of english in school I hope.
