Tee, I understand what you are saying, but, our language should always be a priority since they are living in the homeland. In other words, speak your language first, if that doesn't work try Thai or other languages. You cannot make assumptions. I notice Lao people have bad habits doing just that. Let's use my mom for example. She assumed this guy was Chinese, she started talking crap about him, he responded back in Lao...boy oh boy, was she embarrassed. She deserved it.
As for the Thailand airport situation, i think the employees were ask to speak English mainly to learn as much as they can when communicating with tourists. I could be wrong there. But, Thai language is not hard to understand, same thing when we talk to them in our language. They could of spoken Thai back if they wanted to but they chose not to that is my point.
Buk IIWJ, people make too many assumptions.
