Are Thais generally disorganized

[kjun12]

I live with two Thai people who almost never put an item back where they took it from. I have repeatedly asked that they do this but they do not acquiesce to my requests. Is this a common trait of Thais?

[NZdick1983]

How ya doing mate?

^ Depends on the individual(s)/not the race IMHO...

[Davis Knowlton]

Probably means they have no respect for you, and don't care what you say.

Choose your roommates better.

yep, completely disorganized

can you change them ? no

can you train them ? yes, but that would mean you have some kind of authority to do that

Just aquire a government employees uniform and you can run rings around Thais. They never question people in uniform.

Oriental savages....


If they could only be like us.

Yes, they lack any organisational skills.

Things in the kitchen, tools around the garden, pens and pencils... Say anything about it and lots of agreement. Next time, same again!

Id say the opposite is true. You must hang with dregs.

Yes, it's a Thai trait. Would never happen with anyone else.

Never...

[sabang]

It is an exceedingly common trait of the Thai, and ubiquitous among my Thai family. Or is it just Isaan?

Organised chaos with method in their madness, ah, the plot thickens..

I think so. My wife's brothers and sisters constantly borrow things and forget to return them. They leave things where they use them, never returning them to where they belong. When I call them out they tell me I am mean.

There is an art to calling out Thais, as an individual or collective, without offering the usual lost face or imploding their shallow sensitivities...

If you're not clued in, observe how they challenge, criticize, or call each other out.
Involves lotsa twisted rhetoric and manipulating mind games....most of which Farang don't have the ability to comprehend.....the underhanded and slight deviance of the interaction.

Once you've mastered the art of all this, you've mastered the game - whether they recognize such or not.

Oh, I know but sometimes I just don't give a shit.

More to do with education levels. Some farm girl with a year 8 education isnt going to be organised like a worldly educated person. Nothing to do with race.

You should write a book or 10 Dr Phil.

My wife organises stuff to the extent that I can never find anything.
