Lazy Thais
Posted on 24 August 2009
Spend anytime in Thailand and soon enough you'll come across someone telling you how lazy Thais are, this is a fact of life and one of the main foreign stereotypes of the denizens of the country. It seems to come from a couple of observations apparent about the country, these being many Thais often don't seem to have much enthusiasm for the work they are doing and seem to be distant even bored or only half awake which leads sometimes to poor service or mistakes. The second Thais seem to have little enthusiasm for the work life, most Thais don't seems to want to follow the western employment model of desiring a job in a good company and perhaps shining out and rising to a good position, they'd rather leave a decent job and start their own small shop doing little all day but waiting for customers. Over the last 2 weeks I've accidentally on purpose started conversations with a number of locals in a range of places such as bars, commuter bus stops, a local shrine, noodle and rice stalls in the industrial districts and behind the counter of a shop, I to many interesting people but the few printed here were the most candid.

Children of Phuket ThailandWhile in Phuket I got to visit the childrens orphanage attached to the womens prison in Phuket. Some children have mothers who are currently in the jail next door, they spend their days here in the the day care centre, and then nights in the jail sleeping with their mother in some disgusting conditions. Some children have no parents, and are only offered shelter between the hours of 9 to 5:50pm, we were to afraid to ask what happens outside of hours, but most likely, they are put out on the street. Ages of the children ranged from 2 years onld up to 9 years old. There are over 60 children and 3 volunteers. They rely 100% on donations, and are not funded by the jail or government.
