bigKus Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 If you let them charged you double price in restaurant or anywhere else without prior noticed, it think it is individual stupidities.. Also police issues.. But for qeueing stuff... its another story here. Being double standard for services in the restuarant is not my personal problem with 'white' thing.

Chatty Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I think you guys are losing the track... I don't think it's about we like or don't like farang. Some of you are visitors... some work here... and some live here may be have families and life here. If you didn't do anything bad...you guys are welcome to this land I don't think it's farang fault at all... it's a about Thai people who never love Thai people thought farang are god... the reasons? 1. you have dollars... 2. you guys can get more money than Thai people. 3. you are farang (nothing else) Actually, sometimes it happened to me... I tried to get taxi at the tourist areas like Charoen Krung... Hilton, Sheraton, Shangri la hotel... not many taxi take me... Included MBK Siam. Nana. (near my workplace) 1. They said they need farang or Japanese, 2. If they thought i was Chinese (cuz someone said I look like) they ask me to pay 200 baht for the fare... 200 baht my ass... my place not that far. Money is the answer... Oh one more thing I really wanna talk about this all the time and i wanna post my journal about it. Ploenchit Rd. under the expressway, from Wittayu intersection to soi 1... not allow any car except the bus pass...everyone got fine except farang... I have seen it all the time... if you are Indian, chinese, Thai etc. the police will stop you and you might pay 400 baht fine... But if you farang only farang or look like farang.. you can pass without saying anything. What do you think? I can't find the answer until now.. lolzzz Hmm I didn't say it's farang fault .. you didn't do anything wrong. The one who should blame... you know who.!!

valetudo Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, it's great being treated differently....... I have just found out today that Thai people pay 2000b a month rent less for the exact same condo where i live........ :shock: It's easier to ripp a farang off than a Thai, so that's probably why they want to " help " the farang.

zeusbheld Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 **** all the whingeing thais charge farrangs more because they'll pay more; thais rush to serve farrangs first because.... you guessed it.... odds on, they'll pay more. comes right down to it, the bottom line is... *you guessed it*... the bottom line.

paulgh3rd Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 ........am I missing the point or are we talking about people being upset by being charged slightly more than nationals?....is it a pride thing? it must be.... ....surely if you're that worried and you realise the error you can ask your retailer "why is the bill so high?" ....after some shuffling of paper and some diversion tactics, you will be given the actual bill and asked never to come again... ....generally these "errors" only happen to occur when people are drunk or so caught up in their hedonistic lifestyle compared to their homeland social life that the establishment "decide" that you won't miss a few baht and that having to put up with your bullshit (BS) was considered a surcharge... ..am I wrong? ...or is every Farang that comes to Thailand so polite and respectful that Thai society as a whole is CLEARLY taking advantage of these poor individuals and leaving them pennyless on the street? ....79 My first trip to thailand was with my wife and her family which included 2 bank VP's a province police commander and other professionals in the family we would go to places including all Temples in Thailand foreigners are charged to enter.... bhuddist or not, and as tourist we are charged the "VAT" tax I think it's called and when making arrangements for rooms or other place my friends would make them for me because we checked and they would get a different rate. Even my x-wife who is a thai national but grew up in germany when she called would often get quoted a foreigner price because of her nonthai accent. So yes if I'm being charged more I damn well better get better service as I would expect of anything. You get better service for more expensive thetre tickets because you paid more so you deserve it. The original question about the clerk just leaving you depending on how she left is relevant. Were you done and just chatting about makeup? Did she say excuse me let me take care of these customers?

koolbreez Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have seen this same thing happen without a farang being the other customer. Rich Thai will always be waited on right away no matter who was being waited on before they got there, and I've seen the Thai that was ignored not say a word. I, as a farang, have been ignored many times, in favor of some rich Thai, but I understand the situation. I don't center on the fact that I was left alone, I try and think in terms of the worker in a service industry trying to make as much money as he/she can in that day. The cosmetic sales girls in most stores work off commission, with a very small wage. If you try, and understand, that the customers, as farang, in her eyes, could be her whole days money, you might not feel so hurt. If it was a rich, or socially higher Thai, the same thing would have happened, and you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_George Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I rarely complain about that but sometimes if it's obviously discriminated ... I just walk out .... it's the same in medical care.. some bad doctors would just treat only HI-SO and forget that they are working in public hospital cause they give some money under the table ... :cry: :roll: I'm finding a safe place for me in the future not to go into the cycle ...I spent 2 hours waiting in a Phuket private hospital, my leg lacerated almost in half...........I collided with 2 motorcycles, parked illegally on the hard shoulder of a blind left. .......I had people stuffing clipboards in my face asking me for a deposit before they can operate..... ....i gave them my credit card and my insurance and still waited for 1 hour whilst people came in with strained wrists and piles...... ......After the second hour I was moved to the operating theater and stopped, literally on the threshold of the theatre..asked "are you sure you have paid the deposit?" ....Once this was checked out after another 30 mins, I was allowed to have my surgery and my lower leg sown back togther.... .."Why are you making my job difficult?" - I was asked by one of the interns for insurance, as I lay bleeding in the ER, barely able to focus on her or the piece of paper she was weilding in my face............ ............Hell......yes it was............. ..................did anyone 'really' give a **** that night.....'apparently not' .....did I complain?...............er....no .....did it give me an insight that even 4 years of residence couldn't equal? ....Is it really that important that a few drunk farangs get "overcharged" becasue they are not only illegible, but uncredible? ......Has the whole "Farang" cash injection brought morals to a more "contingent" level?......?? ....I felt like I was negotiating a job contract.......whilst clearly losing alot of blood and in alot of pain...... ...please email me for photos ........oh and apparently, the doctors new when I would be experiencing pain, according to their charts.....so morphine and D-AN, were only administred when the doctor on duty agreed............. ..............whilst my insurance quota remained healthily increasing each day....ironically, I was givn the final bill in Thai.......in an international hospital........ ...obviously i asked for it in English......asked..... ...so really, complaining about "mal-service" in a restaurant or a 7-11......... ....thank your lucky stars ...79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
