Honest Business in Thailand Feb 13

Seven, eight, nine … Stop! Twelve minutes and nine seconds! This is the time they delivered to my gas bottle $ 70-00. There was no particular order. I Have the run out of gas, while a souffle in the oven. Only the normal service, including delivery. Not bad for lazy Thailand, where the judge fell asleep on the bench and the cars go around the soi dogs sleep on the streets.

Order of the gas is no exception. The purchase of a sofa, the installation of mosquito nets and my fixation with air conditioningwere made at the same speed and agility. Sales of goods and deliver immediately, the deal is done and the money in your pocket. Competition is fierce in Thailand and Thai people are very enterprising. Cash is the only method of payment. Only in the tourist areas and major chains accepting credit cards.

Thailand

Bangkokians spoiled for choice. Each morning of the pick-up with the food passes through our country. Housewives and restaurant owners to buy rice, meat and vegetables for the day.In the evening the truck was loaded with fruit with seasonal fruit – watermelon, grapes, mangosteen, as well. The weekend of the truck market of food, full of brooms, buckets, mops, twisting. It saves everyone a trip to Lotus, and a long, long grueling hours in traffic in Bangkok.

Thais are excellent seller. Bella vendors line the counters of every store. Your charm and elegance is far from your feet. Its beauty is deceptive. Below is the beauty of avery smart business woman. They are patient and know how to do a hard bargain hard. I confused the Thais refused 'to negotiate as a lack of negotiating skills. I had some heated discussions with my students on the topic. For example, a cop, you go and bribe demand thousand baht. That is, the payment of a bribe or baht a trip to the police station. He (99.9% are male) refused to negotiate down to baht. Because he is a poor negotiator? No! He knows that you have theMoney and must pay the bribe. There is no need for him to negotiate a baht down!

Business people are smart. " All prices are rare. The locals know the prices of most of the terms -35 baht for a tuk-tuk ride home, 10 baht for a pack of fresh sliced pineapple, 40 baht for a clay pot. Foreigners inevitably pay more than the locals. It depends on how they think we can upload. They think that foreigners are rich and can afford to pay more. Even if you staylong enough to speak Thai here, you will be charged even more. I never in a business that seems to me to cope. We are not the only ones to pay more. My wife, who is from South pays more often than I do. I usually take the price before ordering. When I visited in Malaysia, the Indians thought street vendor, I'd be really cheap when I asked how much a cup of coffee before I ordered.

Thais do not waste. Nothing is wasted, nothing lost and nothing is free. In fact, theWords do not exist freely in Thai. E 'borrowed from the English language. And the next word is peasyt discount Raka, which literally translates to a special price. Tags can alarming. The beer is purchased for 46 baht in a store and sold for 60 baht in a restaurant. AND 'cheaper to dine in a restaurant to cook at home. It is not set for a client to his whiskey in a restaurant and pay only for the mix of scarcity. No corkage fee is charged. It is not uncommonsee a wagon stop selling food in front of a restaurant and the fried snack vendor in your restaurant!

energy drinks are a bargain, so Coca-Cola is 10 baht. Laundry service, a plate of pasta and taxis are cheap. While most things are cheap, nothing is free. In Thailand you pay for drinking water, it pays to pay for education and entertainment. And if you have paid, do not expect to get a refund. The goods can be changed, but not reimbursed. Once the money went, it was enoughis practically impossible to go back. Thais have a saying – what kind of eating the elephant, not again.

Not everything is cheap, though. A trip to the hospital has confirmed this. A consultation sick leave and antibiotics cost me 2,700 baht! It's two weeks wages for factory workers. Private school is expensive. And this is a mechanic – I paid 8,000 baht to 2,000 baht for a service! The carburetor and starter have been replaced. He even showed the old parts. I'm surethese parts do not come from my car. And he told me he had the honor, very (honest). An honest Thai! My-my.
