UDON SOCIAL

f**k all to do with minimum wages . corruption starts at the top and filters through the whole of any corrupt society , like shit through a septic tank . but then again this is only my opinion , and im not an expert . but my eyes and ears are in perfect working order .

Brick,
Accoding to some experts there is a correlation between minimum wage and 'the extra drachmas or baht'

Interesting that link. Thailand is only as corrupt as Greece. Always wondered where the extra Drachmas on the bill came from....

with positives...are negatives...the world will stop without.

World corruption ranking: Thailand is somewhere in the middle, less corrupt than for example Mexico.
Most corrupt Somalia,Afghanistan and Myanmar.

How about thieves??? Are all thai thieves or do all Thais behave like thieves??

And 21,
If you dont like Thailand why dont u stay in your country?????????
You are so negative about many things here.

There was a news article a while ago George IN THE bkk post when most thais interviewed said corruption was OK and acceptable in thai society, but as 21 says we are not exactly No 1 that's the Arabs im afraid in there eyes. We are tolerated that's all.

[quote="21again"]Thats the Thai way Vlad, corruption and thieving is part of the culture..............[/quote]

Wow....Thai way and culture ...these are big words. Whats culture 21??

[quote="vlad"]So if a said bar has a cashier that is a thief and a known thief, because she is thai that gives them the right to rip us off. Do the owners not think once words get out or on here that his bar employs a known thief he should not take action, or ignore it because " she is thai ". I think its driven into them early 21 that its ok to be dishonest to tourists because as you say she have baby to take care how many times do we hear this phrase, but they just dont seem to realise the implications of this way of thinking.[/quote]

[color=#BF0000]Thats the Thai way Vlad, corruption and thieving is part of the culture, they know what they do is wrong but they actually hate farangs so they do not care.They also only live for the day, they are not bothered if you do not return as they think we are all idiots with too much money and other farangs will come to be their next victim.[/color]

[quote="saint"]we can argue about the virtues of hookers and ladyboys till hell freezes over . the fact is if you dont wanna get ripped of by these F-----g low lifes , then dont go to the bars where they operate . there are well run freindly bars in udon who do have good honest staff . quite simple isnt it ?[/quote]

[color=#BF0000]Thats true saint but if you are a visitor here how is one to know which bars rob you intentionally??

Aye BM but i can run through a ring of fire and Bullets to get out this crap hole run by the elite who don't give a toss about the north of England so a bit of naughtiness from a pretty fillie will be worth it.
