Guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 To rictic and Long Gun: Thank you for the enlightenment. I had no idea things were this way, and I do appreciate the education. To Sukhumvit: NOTHING deferential about my post. You misinterpreted. I explicitly said I was IGNORANT about this subject, and I asked for information. That's what this forum is all about, isn't it? There were absolutely no negative connotations or anything durogotory intended. OK? quote: A maid's room in an apartment? I'm not familiar with this part of Asian culture. Sorry, I'm thinking like a Westerner or I've misunderstood something here. Please educate me on why anyone would want maid's quarters in a small apartment. If you were well-off and could afford a servant, I can understand that. But, if you could afford a servant, then why would you be in a 10,500 baht/mo. apartment? I'm quite curious, please relieve me of my ignorance! Thanks, teacherwannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi Teacherwannabe Your correct, this forum is to help educate others, never feel foolish asking about something you don't know or don't understand. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhumvit Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 To teacherwannabe You state that there's nothing deferential about your post. Deferential means "showing respect, respectful." Hopefully you have now been relieved of your ignorance. OK 555555 [ July 13, 2001: Message edited by: Sukhumvit ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a country where you will see mercedes etc... parked outside shitholes. No-one sees your shithole but they do see your car when you are out and about. maids etc... are cheap here even your maid might have a maid. It's all about face. if you are doing reasonably well, then why should you clean and cook for yourself. If you don't have a maid you must be struggling on your wages.

I took it as a jab, perhaps mistakenly, and I apologize if I misinterpreted a kudo. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
