While violence begets violence, I maintain that friendliness encourages cooperation. Be careful not to touch or push anyone, an action that comes across as very unfriendly.

Just smile and suggest w/ a friendly motion that they should move aside. I don’t endorse confrontation here or anywhere else and I’m sure it’s not your intention either. Not that we’re in a big rush or trying to locate our lost buffalo or anything. Until that happens, you and I might need to remind them not to be in other people’s way. It would be nice if the staff was also responsible for politely asking stray people to give way. One of these days, I will write the nicest letter to the operating companies suggesting that the BTS guards could do more than whistling, and the MRT platform personnel more than just standing by in case a passenger faints? So, there’s no excuse for some local people to ignore this civilized request.īesides, every station provides all the signs that you need so that you know where to stand when a train door opens to allow other passengers to exit first. It’s in crystal clear English, American-accented, along w/ the articulate Thai version that comes before. “Please let passengers exit first.” This is what you will hear.

Still, some people – some Thai people, if they need naming – can give you a hard time. Seems a like a piece of cake, doesn’t it? Viewing cozy condos on Langsuan Street? Use the elevated BTS and leave at Chidlom. Going to Suanlum Night Bazaar? Take the underground MRT and get off at the Lumpini Station. When in Bangkok, you will surely be out and about on her rail-based transportation. Thousands of matters don’t really matter actually.īut not each and every! For example, some people seem to be far too laid back/care-free to the point of becoming inconsiderate. The lyrics 'I'm on my way from misery to happiness today' differ from I'm on My Way the spiritual of the same name. In 1989, it was released as a single, which made it to number 43 in the United Kingdom, and number 3 in Australia. An old man next door thunderously clears his throat a few times every day. 'I'm on My Way' is a song by Scottish folk pop duo The Proclaimers for their 1988 album Sunshine on Leith. A dear friend broke your vintage vase by mistake. In my humblest opinion, easy-goingness is actually the way to go for many matters. I sort of defend Thai-style easy-goingness on my post dated Aug 23, 08, but for this one, forget it.
