Du bist echt der Beste maeeutik, aber nicht die Seife Fallen lassen.
Ich möchte bitten, das die beiden Mitglieder maeeutik und TW die Ignorierfunktion der Forensoftware benutzen. Danke.
Wenn ich meine Rechnung bezahle, lass ich meistens das Kleingeld, (manchmal lege ich in einem Restaurant noch etwas drauf) liegen und lächel.
Hast Du da eine Regel wieviel das Kleingeld ausmachen darf und wieviel Du ggf. noch drauflegst?
maeeutik
Ich handhabe das im schnitt so:
-schnelles Essen- aufrunden auf volle 10er Beträge. Wenns klatt 30 Baht kostet, gibts eben nischt.
-essen, trinken, bisschen schwatzen- 30-50 Bath
-Ausgiebige Orgie im 4stelligen Bereich- bis zu 100 Baht
:prost:
Wenn ich mehr als 20baht geben will kommen da tödliche blicke meiner Frau! :angst:
...wenn du mal richtig Tip gegeben hast
und das "As" lächelt noch nicht einmal
dann haben die danach kommenden eben nischt. nix, nothing...:-)
so hilft der eine dem anderen :-D
Hier das thail.Lächeln aus der Sicht eines Engländers welcher es ganz gut beschreibt wie ich meine
The Thai Smile
If you’ve ever considered travelling to Thailand, you will have no doubt heard one common theme: the people smile all the time. So when I arrived in Thailand I was eager to see all those perpetually smiling faces. I was disappointed then when the myth was revealed for what it really is: a myth. Of course, Thai people have nice smiles – the girls in particular have a way of looking exceptionally beautiful with their even, beaming smiles – but Thai people are pretty much like any other race most of the time: they walk around po-faced, looking straight ahead. So why do Thai people smile? The following reasons may shed some light on why Thailand has been dubbed The Land of Smiles.
1) They smile because they’re happy
Okay, so this is pretty straight forward, but I think it’s fair to say the main reason why anyone smiles is out of happiness or pleasure. Thai people do enjoy a joke and it’s part of their culture not to take things too seriously. This can be great in times of “potential” conflict, but terrible when you want to get anything useful done. Thai people seem to lack those deep sentiments that western people have, like writing love poetry for a sweetheart, listening to moving classical music, or having discussions about universal, political or ethical issues. It’s as if life is one big joke to them, and so they smile a lot, even when life goes tits up.
2) They smile because they don’t want to lose face
Every culture has the concept of losing face to some extent. But it seems more pronounced in Thailand. Nobody wants to be the idiot or disliked member of a group, and so everybody tries hard to fit into the social environment. Be it at work, school, in the neighbourhood or anywhere else, people want to be at the top of the social strata. Smiling is very important to your success in Thailand and can mean the difference between losing or keeping your job in some instances. Thailand is much more like the animal kingdom in that respect: people will judge you on these base animal instincts quite shamelessly, stuff that would seem politically incorrect in western countries. So, many people smile as a way to save face and look good. If you criticise somebody, you could lose status in the group if you lose your cool and start shouting. But if you basically tell someone they’re a f****ing idiot, all while wearing a beaming smile, there’s not that much anyone can do about it. This is why many Thai people have a false smile: it’s forced, unnatural, and you can see behind the beaming white teeth the burning hatred for your idiot ass.
3) They smile because they hate you
Thai people smile as a kind of defence mechanism. They smile when they’re happy, they smile when you upset them, they smile when they hate you. This is why the Thai smile can become quite frustrating and perplexing at times: why the hell do you smile at me if you hate me? It’s at times like these that I long for a bit of good ole Western-style confrontation.
