Things Thai's do better than us.

**Necron99** · 31-08-2012, 05:07 PM

There are obvious things on the red light front, but today I noticed a genuinely useful thing. It may seem minor to some but its a subject of some importance to me.

Last night, having ran out of coldies and thinking I was gonna be up for a while I stuck some in the freezer. Ending up opening a bottle of Jacks I inevitably forgot the beers.
This morning discovered them frozen solid as you would expect.
Now, if I did that with green cans or any other Oz beer, they would be rooted. Freezing would have broken the gas seal and thawed, they would be flat as a tack.
Not so with the mighty Thai beer can! Thawed out they were perfectly fine.

What else do they do demonstratably better?

Just a feeling, but I think this may be a very short thread. But, I'll throw one in - they speak better Thai than we do.

They are good at forgetting and brushing things off.

They generally are good at saving money on food.

Pollution and bugs don't bother them much.

They aren't bothered by people driving 30kms/hr in the fast lane on major expressways.

They are bother by corrupt people getting rich.

They don't mind their sons dressing up in 1940s dresses and wearing 8-inch high heels at high school events.

Pile driving.

**Marbles** · 31-08-2012, 05:14 PM

Yea thread closed boring pal.

U must be bored out of your bracket or down in the dumps.

Use apostrophes correctly.

**Hampsha** · 31-08-2012, 05:29 PM

Better cooks when cooking Thai food.
Don't complain when three or four people are crammed into two seats on a bus.
Willing to accept what ever they get.
Willing to eat bugs.

They're better at maintaining interpersonal harmony than Westerners.

**Norton** · 31-08-2012, 05:42 PM

There are many things they do better than "us". Whoever us is.

**Hampsha** · 31-08-2012, 05:43 PM

Better at milking wealth from people.

They can fit many more people in a care than westerners.

They tend to move on faster after deaths and failures.

They tend to commit suicide rather than others when angry.

They are willing to be patriotic without reason.

They are straight forward. They call a fatty a fatty.

**Blue water dreaming** · 31-08-2012, 06:24 PM

They do road rage with a degree of finality not generally associated with the west.

When Thai women hit fifty, they don't start falling to bits.

They can build houses without having to waste time with plumb bobs, rafting squares and spirit levels.

Thai dogs can squeeze out green shit.

**Bogon** · 31-08-2012, 09:03 PM

Some Thai ladies can grow tremendous amount of pubic hair compared to their western conterparts.

Had the same thought when I was going to start a "good things to say about Thailand" thread so decided against it.

I'll see how Necron goes....

Immigration control.

**dirtydog** · 01-09-2012, 12:34 AM

Thai Toilets come to mind, no fear of being eaten alive by mossies, snakes or rats, no need of toilet paper nor a sink to wash their hands, being able to squat down and do the business without having to strip naked first, all in all quite an amazing feat.

Sealing Bags with elastic bands Laying,lieing Detachment Maximising motorcyle occupancy Emphasizing personal commitments ove abstract laws Eating at alll opportunities without obesity Childlike credence in spirits ghosts and fates rather than safe wiring and health insurance Smiling while lying Holding sit ins at bus stations,Sanam Luang and 3 night wake/lottery piss ups Bathing

Mai pen rai -- excuses anything.

"Honey, I just ran over a family of blind, handicapped monks, killing them all."

"Mai pen rai."

Thanks darling. Beats the shit out of Christianity, where you actually have to repent.

You could also blame it on the dog. Equally acceptable, believable, forgiven.

I am curious Necron. What is better about the red lights? The countdown timer?

**benbaaa** · 01-09-2012, 05:20 AM

I like the countdown timers. But I was gonna say fresh fruit. It's everywhere, all the time. If you want pineapple in the UK, you get a whole one, not very fresh, when the supermarket's open. Then you have to weigh it yourself and figure out how to cut the skin off and slice the damn thing. Here, it's all done neatly with no fuss, right in front of your eyes, by a woman with a motorbike, sidecar, cabinet full of ice, chopping board, knife, supply of plastic bags and implements for eating it with. All for 10 Baht.

**ShrewedPunter** · 01-09-2012, 05:40 AM

They have beautiful white sand beaches, yet still throw shit all over the beach. coke bottles, plastic bags etc.

Here in the UK the council is responsible for cleaning the beaches and keeping them nice, but the general public behave much more respectfully in general.

I actually meant red light districts, gentlemens entertainment if you will.
But yes the red light timers are good too. Except when Somchai restarts it rather than turning it green, then it's just a tease.

**Necron99** · 01-09-2012, 07:34 AM

Iced coffee.
Being able to solve most household maintenance tasks with only an old hammer.
Petrol stations.

If "Littering" ever becomes an Olympic Event, the Thais will get Gold, no problem.

Other events such as Dawdling, Gawping, Snacking, and Wittering will deffo see a Thai on the podium as well.

**misskit** · 01-09-2012, 10:59 AM

They make the best fried chicken, ever.

They are very good at keeping their recipes secret.
