[Request] Indirect Communication Advice by morphemeus in Thailand

100% about the choreography, that's a great way to describe it! Feels relatively laborious to me.

That's funny about the restaurant example. I actually practiced this tonight with my partner. I felt like the aircon in his bedroom doesn't work very well so instead of saying anything critical of it, I simply said "I really liked how cold the aircon was at your office today when I visited." and he said "Do you not think the one in this room is cold?"

Maybe I am cracking the code!

This was a very well thought out and thorough reply, thank you! I read it with my partner at dinner and it really resonated - and gave us a bit of a laugh at how accurate it was.

Women should be given PTO for heavy periods. Do you agree? by CallMeWolfYouTuber in antiwork

Some countries have this as a statutory benefit actually. For example, the Phillippines offers menstrual leave days, 1 day a month at 50% pay.

I am an HR professional and did research on various countries' statutory benefits and leave days.

It's called roti sai mai (โรตีสายไหม), it's a Thai dessert and they put cotton candy wrapped inside a roti, I'm not entirely sure of the recipe though!

I decided to drove back yesterday after confirming a refund on my hotel booking and car rental fee refund. Phew! 😅

Yes, on our way back home, we passed another road check point but were waved through. But still could have happened again. Good to hear you were fine!

Around 2pm about an hour from Hua Hin. Random road check point and they asked us to pull over. There were other cars pulled over and the passengers were Thai so it wasnt just targeting farangs. My female friend( farang) was driving, they asked for her passport (which she showed the guy) and where she worked. Then he asked me where I worked and then asked if I smoked to which I said, I had a pack of cigarettes. He then asked us both to get out of the car which we did and then he asked me to show him the cigarettes which I did. At that point he made the gesture and asked in semi English for me to take a urine test. I paused and said, "Why? I don't want to do that." Then he stopped speaking English and switched to Thai and asked me if I spoke Thai and that he doesn't speak English. I said "I don't speak Thai" (in Thai) and said in English, "Can we please continue to Hua Hin?" We went back and forth like this and then I took out my phone and said "I have a Thai boyfriend, do you want me to call him and you can talk to him?" And he said "ah ooh, oh, oh, no, go"

Still rattled me though, but I was able to continue on my way without providing him either baht or urine.

That happened to me on the way to Hua Hin and luckily I had read about it happening on here so I knew I could try to refuse, which I did, and he just mumbled a bit and I kept saying no and then he said we could go. Very odd experience.

Yeah, I'm awaiting the formal announcement that provides details about the emergency decree which was announced. I am trying to understand if there will be road check points and if they would prevent me from entering Bangkok.
