I know it's not my job. Thanks for reminding me though.... Your comment just didn't make sense to me considering the OP's topic Thais Skipping the Line. I do from time to time "ask" that people stay on point and on topic. Probably will continue to do so from time to time. Especially in topics that I post. Have a lovely evening...

juice777 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Actually had this happen at swamp immigration a few weeks back (didnt happen to me, but I was witness to it). The lines were massive, and we were all waiting patiently for our turn to me prcessed, when a family of Chinese consult ignored the Q and walked straight to the front (2 adults, grandparent and a child) of the Q, the ppl they jumped infront of right asked them what the F they thought they were doing, and a massive argument broke out. The chinese ppl were going nuts, saying they have been waiting a long time, and they deserved to go thru first. I was absolutely pissing myself in laughter. Security ended up been called, and the chinese ppl were asked to go to the back of the line, which they rufused to do. It actually then got pretty seriouse and the two adults ended up been frog marched off (rest of the family in tow). Everyone have a bit of a cheer, and tbh, I have no idea what happened after that, but they werent back in line by the time I went through.I bet they forget to fill out there arrival card. So decided they didn't have 2 Q twice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirasan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It used to bother me, now I couldn't give a shit. I found the best way to deal with it was to use the ferang size advantage to out maneuver them, by positioning myself in a way that they can't weasel their way past and get to the counter first. But nowadays I'm not in such a rush to do anything anymore so it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't think it's a respect or class thing, I mean jesus, look at how they drive here.

KhaoNiaw Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I don't really see anything wrong in the OP's situation. It's normal for vendors here, especially food and market vendors, to deal with multiple customers at one time. Then weighing a bunch a bananas only takes a second and can be done faster than slicing the papaya. I bet if the woman was faffing around trying to dig out the money to pay for the bananas, then he'd go back to slicing the papaya until she was ready to pay. And if he'd bagged up the papaya by then, he'd probably let you pay before her as he hands it to you. There are other ways of doing things besides one job/one customer at a time.

They are by far the most rude arrogant queue jumpers in the world. Possibly because they have to push and shove in China due to the overcrowded situation. I forgot how many I elbowed (accidentally)in the Australian betting shops as they shoved in to get a bet on at the last minute. I was even thanked by the person serving at the window once saying the offender had been pushing in all day. Some Chinese, from some areas maybe, are sure getting a bad reputation for that. Agree. The youtube vids make the Chinese tour groups look like a locust plague. Bad form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how they live day to day. It's how the manage/govern their country. I find there's a certain breed of older Thai (usually female) who take offense to being told what to do and seem to think they're entitled to be in front.

grollies Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No one has yet described their Thai wife's behaviour. Mine gets me through 90 day reporting at Sri Racha immigration in about 2 minutes. Fill in the form then straight into the office. Always goes to the same lady, never takes a ticket. Quick hello, how are you, loads of smiles, hands over the form and passport, stamped and given straight back. She'll often sit next to the person who's turn it is and say hello to them too. Meanwhile, I'm stood in the background with a fixed smile cringing inwardly. Funilly enough though she's very polite in supermarket queues.

Just one small dig in and hold your ground for the women of Thailand-but one major victory for the downtrodden-may there be many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
