You are basing your arguments based on American pay, American rates, American service standards and American working conditions. Your forgot, you are in THAILAND

So the next time I am in the US (which I am not looking forward), am I going to use South East Asia as a benchmark for the above ? Yippee I don't have to tip !!!!!!
