When I got here, the guy conducting our induction training told me that Thai’s spend all their time with company, and most often out eating. He said that that person eating alone in a restaurant is considered a loser. I must be the biggest loser in the whole of Thailand at the moment.
I went into a cafe the other week, sat down and asked for a coffee. The guy said yes, and brought me a food menu anyway. After about 15 mins I asked what had happened to the coffee, and he said "oh, isn't someone else coming?" Not in a patronising manner, but in a surprised manner that I would be alone.
When the coffee turned up it came with a shot of hot, black tea. I have no idea what I was supposed to do with the tea.
