    It doesn't neccessarily bring out the worst, but it always brings out their true character.

    Nice post -- same here. But the builder got more than a little irritated with us bringing drinks and snacks twice a week. Made him look bad I guess. Funny creatures these Thais.

    Cheers mate.

    In response to the OP, I think that you find utter dickheads in roughly equal proportion across the socio-economic spectrum and, indeed, between various nationalities.

    It has nothing to do with culture, Thais, filipinos or power, or even money

    It is to do with the person employing the servant

    When I was a youth (!) I went out with various Au Pair girls that were around at the time. Some were treated as part of the family, others as worse than slaves

    their employers came from all backgrounds and all classes, and that was immaterial. Some were real bitches, from all walks of life, some were really nice

    so this Thai woman (whom you know little about) sounds like a bitch treating her servant like that, because she is a bitch, not because she was a bargirl, a hi-so or whatever, but because she is a nasty person
    I have reported your post

    Very true, however if you marry a dildo and it vibrates halfway through your relationship - don't be surprised.

    No, this is how it would evolve.

    1. You'd hire a nice looking domestic helper, feeling that a fuggly one offended your sense of aesthetics.

    2. You'd get drunk and shag her, seeing it as a meaningless erotic adventure of the 'Reverse Lady Chatterly' type.

    3. She would scheme to decamp from the Maid's room into the master bedroom. Within 30 minutes all her clothes would be in your wardrobe.

    4. You'd realise you now have a girlfriend you didn't want. She simultaneously would reveal a knowledge of LV bags that you never even suspected such a simple hearted girl had.

    5. She would tell you to hire a new domestic helper, (probably her unattractive friend), as she wants to concentrate on eating After Eight mints all day.

    6. You start looking around for another meaningless random sexual adventure.



    ...this happens all the time.

    I can't, she's switched off her phone because I have ruined her birthday by not wanting her back here asap and sensibly reflecting on our relationship to see where we went wrong before making any rash decisions, but hey, that's just me.

    Louis Vuitton bags & luggage. Very ostentatious & very expensive. The sort of thing people with loads of money but no taste buy. IMO.

    absolutely, in fact I'd say guys having married x-maids are looked down upon even more than guys who marry SLAGDOGS and PROSTITUTES!

    In Indonesia, middle class Indonesians get fed up with Bule colleagues bringing their village-girl lovers to respectable parties. The Bule can't distinguish, so he doesn't realise he's got a complete bumpkin on his arm.

    Probably same same everywhere in 3rd world asia
