^^ I'm an equal opportunity lover, what can I say.
Cheers Terry, It was one of the most rewarding things I have done. Get really attached to the little buggers though so leaving at the end of the year is hard. I would have stayed for longer but had to get back to BKK for work.
If I ever find myself in a situation where I can take a year or 2 out again I'd go back without hesitation.
I'm a bit of a hard bastard when it comes to this as here in Australia we have people who front up to the dole office get money and then get straight on the piss making conts of themselves.
The same people then cause havoc in the society claiming they are hard done by and the society is foked.
I dislike them with a vengeance but I will always give or help out any genuine person who is on the down and out as I figure we are all a fart away from this situation.
It is really just some top information on how to deal with the locals according to their own customs.

Yep very true that Dick and is usually the way in third world countries.
The high So's have no compassion for the unfortunates which really shows how foked up they are but westerners can usually distinguish between a person who is down on his luck and one who is just a waste of space.
Shows the good side of many farangs and the hideous side of the Hi-So's.
Thais still are slaves just not of the body. Thailand owns their minds. They are forced to see and hear propaganda 24/7 in their daily lives.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not as if Thais are forced to display photos in their houses in prominent positions, see and pay for at every main intersection pictures and propagandaish slogans on large advertising hoardings and be forced to watch TV programs which are being shown simultaneously every evening during peak viewing times. And, if they ever want to object, are carted off to jail guilty before trial until they can show they are innocent of a crime that requires ambiguous unsubstantiated evidence to convict them. Oh yea, I also nearly forgot: organize and you'll be executed in the streets.
People love to put tags or labels on people as it allows them to justify in their minds they are better then the people they just put down.
We do this in the US on a regular basis. It is done based on your level of education, what college you went to, the neighborhood you live in, the car you drive, the house you own. The list goes on and on.
Honestly I would rather be poor with some class then rich and an asshole.
never ever look up to anybody <unless they're taller than you>
and never look down on anybody
really is bad manners.
and i hate to see it.
It sounds like the British attitude to the Irish.Originally Posted by Dick
I assume a 'low end' Thai is a Thai without much money in their pocket.
There are high & low class people in every wealth bracket, but in Thailand most of the high class people I have met are [sic] 'low end'.
Clearly the OP has little idea how to deal with them, and absolutely none how to get the best from them.
Which, from my observation, is probably no different in the country he originates from.
