Trouble with you last maid BR :roll:

It is just shocking, since our last good one left, we have gotten through 2 already since Friday, tis' unbeleivable, give them a job and they do fuckall, and one of them really did try to wash my Car windscreen with a mop!!!!!!

Another claimed that because we had money that we should hire 2 maids, giving away the fact that she had been sneaking through our bank details whilst we were out, they even have the cheek to ask for severenace pay of 1 month's salary after 2 days of doing fuck-all.

where do you live in bangkok? my mates maid is ace and well fit, but he lives in moobhan seethakit, probably spelt that wrong, good luck fella

it amazes me that people find the concept of cleaning so hard.
to even attempt to try and clean a car with a mop is just stupidity in it's self.

i mean how hard can cleaning be.

so i take it no news on your old maid being able to come back?

No news whatsoever, which is a shame cos' she was real good. Being Burmese it is unlikely that there are any communications whatsoever where she is.

Can you not clean your house?  :wink:

how much you offering? i'll do it?  :D

SOD THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you not try giving one a trial period, in which you tell them they must impress or they're out on their ear, without sounding too stern or threatening!

My mum has a ironing business and loans out business to helpers, but they can be poo, over-charging my mum (telling her it took longer than it should have done) and not doing a very good job.  By giving them a trial it gently reminds them their work's under scrutiny!!

It's called bangkok female logic - I clean floor with mop so I clean everything using mop - look see, clean teeth with mop, clean dog with mop, aahh clean car window with mop - specially good on inside!

Bangkok Red are you rich by our standards or by Thai standards?

Cos lets face it, anyone from Britain with a full time job is stinking rich in Thailand!

B R, these Thai fags scared the crap out of me!

By Thai standards you wouldn't exactly say that I am rich (Having a maid is fairly common here) although I am certainly well off.

By English standards you could say that I am comfortable, although it really can be difficult to compare because my lifestyle is vastly different here regardless of money. For example being able to jump on a  a speedboat to get to an island may seem extravagant but it really is not such a big deal out here, also eating out here is the norm even for less well monied Thai's. Yet going out to a restaurant in England is often a special event that can require saving for and is certainly not a daily occurence.

do you manage to come back over here at all BR??

next time you do you should come and say hello in the Merlin before a game.

Do you have James Bond fantasies  :soapy tit wank:

The Man With The Golden Gun

Wow, the attention!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been back since I arrived over 5 yrs ago. To be honest there is not much reason for me to go back apart from family and friends (Most of whom come here to visit me) and of course I miss the footy  :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

And the british weather  :mrgreen:

which = £?????

A bit less then 3 quid.

About £3 isn't it !!

so i take it 200 baht is quite a lot out there??

Just done currency conversion, 300 baht is £4 !

It depends, if you are a farmer in the country side living in a wooden shack then 200 baht is alot of money, those guys can be lucky to get 10,000 baht a year. The average monthly wage out here for an office worker is around 8,000 baht/month. Personally I get a salary of 100,000 Baht/month, so i guess that I could be considered rich if I didn't squander it all so much.

A Thai farmer earns about £136 A YEAR then  :shock:

And your on £1300 a month  :wink:

i spent 250 in 2 weeks including accomadation and i was hammered most night :\/

Does that include hot dogs ?  :wink:

1 or 2 :--  :D

i spent about £400 in 4 weeks and did loads of lush stuff like elephant trekking.

we went to one of chiang mai's best fish restaurants and had food and drinks for 6, only for the bill to come to something like £25!
