It's outdated and offensive. You are now required to call servants "mae baan".

Labourers make more than office workers. It's like that in your country as well.

That's why a housemaid comes handy for most people.

ince when did khon say start becoming offensive? I still hear the old timers refer to such people as 'khon say' when they appear in a movie.

No it's not like that! People pay tens of thousands of dollars just to gain a qualification. All that training and spending is justified by the high income one earns after acquiring such skills. All labourers do are the petty jobs that the builders/plumbers/ etc. look upon with disdain. Sweeping floors, moving material up 5 floors at a time etc. Trust me, I know! Most are desperate and uneducated and need the job.

This false belief must be why our 'sisters' in Laos keep getting duped into crossing the river and end up as sex slaves.

Are you saying labourers in Laos make more than you?

That is shocking.

Do you have a qualification of any sort, seaw?

In administration?

You alway joke around saying you're not smart enough to do business.

That's true. It's easy saids then done. Most people want to open business but few will make it. You can make very good money or go broke. You have to know what you're doing and has money for back up. Some people are born into business. Their family teach them the trick of the trade.
