How to best sum up Thai attitudes in an experience

**Camel Toe** · 05-09-2008, 07:19 PM

You can't even get laid without the China Syndrome stopping her moaning on the down stroke to tell you you're out of time when you know you're not.

One I'll never forget was on this forum. The bloke who told the story of getting rear-ended and having the Thai tell him to report the accident as his fault so his insurance company would pay for both of their car's damages.

Why? If you know what your doing and understand how things work here it realy is not as difficult as some people would have you believe. You will find that the failings of most foreign business people here in Thailand is down to their own lack of ability to adapt, or they have simply not done the legwork before jumping in head first.

Yup, the OP should of adapted, sent on the shoddy merchandise, and recieved the quite probable outcome of losing his customer, or at the very least their confidence in his products.

Adapt to not consider future consequences, or value customer service, or even the customer in most cases. Just like your Thai counterparts.

This might be one of the stupidest things I've ever read on this forum. Do you even live here? For fuck's sake, even DD encountered Thai fuckery when he tried to sell some land recently. Most of the time it is not one's ability (or inabiltiy) to adapt to the Thai way of doing things, rather it is the Thais fucking about in business, causing delays, trying to rip you off, constantly changing their minds, not paying the right amount, and just fucking about until the foreigner just says "fuck it, I've had enough of you muppets."

The OP experience is classic Thai

I bought a Movie CD from a sukhumveit street stall. Didn't work at all so returned the next day. He replaced it with another CD and put the crap CD right back on the rack for sale to another farang with a smile. 100% scum

bkkmadness · 06-09-2008, 12:05 AM

Couple of quick questions Jim..

1. What percentage of scum would he have been if he didn't replace the movie CD for you?

2. How much moral ground do you think you lose when you buy and use an illegal copy of someone's hard work?

**Chairman Mao** · 06-09-2008, 12:53 AM

Puting up with fokwits here who can't contemplate that present actions actually have future consequences is bad enough in day to day life. I can't imagine having to put up with it in a business sense.

Jesus fucking Christ! Is there anything at all you're able to deal with? Do you need hired help to tell you how to go for a piss? What a bloody useless weakling you are. Why the hell did you ever bother to leave your village, was it because Thatcher abolished state subsidies for the helpless? Ridiculous helpless gelid excuses for men like you utterly repulse me, if you can't deal with the fuckup commonly known as real life go and join a monastery you pathetic, whinging, weak piece of nothing.

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:09 AM

We can only hope that scotland Yard catches up with scum like DrB0b, anyway i think all Thais are morons, I really don't like dealing with them, talking to them, or interacting with them in any way at all, at my age I really shouldn't have to waste my time talking to people with the mental agility of a 6 year old, so fok Thai people.

If they ever catch up with me I'll buy my freedom by telling them about you and the guns

If you don't want to deal with people with the mental agility of 6 year olds you really shouldn't be running a fokking internet forum.

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:14 AM

Naaa, we just stick the Thais in jail; here

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:16 AM

as for the guns, you would implicate too many police on the MET and Kent Forces, and also the military, doubt they all want irt brought up

**Chairman Mao** · 06-09-2008, 01:23 AM

Still living in total denial I see Doc. While flinging out all the evil wittle insults your wittle fingers can muster. Living so detached from reality must be like being on some kinda fucked up drug. 24/7.

You must be Kinda cool, in the eyes of 16 year olds.

No SAS?

**Texpat** · 06-09-2008, 01:26 AM

I spent the better part of my first year here banging my head against the wall at all the stupid shit that goes on in Thailand. I've since learned to adapt to their ways.

Now, whenever I'm driving along and some car broadsides a 12-year-old girl driving her mom's moped to school, I pull over in my truck, jump out and start laughing at the top of my lungs, pointing and dancing around the accident scene.

It puts things into perspective.

No denial, I live in the real world, all sorts of things happen there, some good, some bad. Difference between you and me is that I can deal with it and don't resort to girlish whining and squealing when things aren't the way I think they should be. As I said, you're a weak, pathetic, whiner who's incapable of dealing with reality. Some people would say you're disabled and need love, I'm not one of those, I think you're weak, pathetic, and worthless, an embarrassment to decent people, people who are capable of taking responsibility for their own lives. Your weakness disgusts me, for God's sake man get some self-respect and stop broadcasting your incapacities to the world.

**Chairman Mao** · 06-09-2008, 01:37 AM

Careful Tex, you'll have Doc spraying his beer all over his keyboard.

Oh look, ^ there he goes trying to belittle those who don't agree with his ignorance - by insulting them. Such intelligence Doctor!

**jandajoy** · 06-09-2008, 01:39 AM

Were you in the forces then. DD?

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:47 AM

^Nope, doubt they would accept me

**jandajoy** · 06-09-2008, 01:48 AM

Why's that then?

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:51 AM

My loyalties may have been questioned I suppose

**jandajoy** · 06-09-2008, 01:52 AM

Whaty the fock's that mean?

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:54 AM

We sold guns to anybody that had money, sadly not on the scale of Victor Bout or anybody like that.

**jandajoy** · 06-09-2008, 01:56 AM

Maybe this conversation should be in a less public place. I get you drift.

**dirtydog** · 06-09-2008, 01:59 AM

Naaa it don't matter, people want guns, illegal guns are cheaper in every country you go to, we were basically kiddies playing the game.
