Yes, you may have to adjust you position as 'the saving of face' is a technique which can and is (by some - though not all) used as a way of avoiding the consequences of their actions.

[quote:2y0qpbc8]Why don't you speak to some Thais about this?[/quote:2y0qpbc8] That is the purpose of this thread. I've just determined why I'm having trouble concentrating on the forum today, and it's not the cricket becaue that's all over barr the shouting, but I might need to take until 20:00 BKK Time off to address an urgent matter.
