You can hire servants in Laos. Calling them "khon sai" tends to put them down. These days we call them "mae baan".


What's wrong with 'khon say'?

Maybe my 'education' is outdated. Huh

Lao LXE, Yes, around that price range can get you a servant in Laos.


That's not fair. They would make as much as you, but you're educated. Grin

It's outdated and offensive. You are now required to call servants "mae baan".

Labourers make more than office workers. It's like that in your country as well.

They may do more than just cooking, depending on how much you pay them.

The can do your laundry, wash your bathroom and toilet, clean the dishes, and all sorts of household chores.

That's why a housemaid comes handy for most people.

ince when did khon say start becoming offensive? I still hear the old timers refer to such people as 'khon say' when they appear in a movie.

No it's not like that! People pay tens of thousands of dollars just to gain a qualification. All that training and spending is justified by the high income one earns after acquiring such skills. All labourers do are the petty jobs that the builders/plumbers/ etc. look upon with disdain. Sweeping floors, moving material up 5 floors at a time etc. Trust me, I know! Most are desperate and uneducated and need the job.

This false belief must be why our 'sisters' in Laos keep getting duped into crossing the river and end up as sex slaves. Cry

Are you saying labourers in Laos make more than you?

That is shocking.

Learning is different to having an actual business.

You need to be smart and have startup funds if you want to make "real" money, otherwise all you can do is make a few dollars a day selling ice-creams.

That's true. It's easy saids then done. Most people want to open business but few will make it. You can make very good money or go broke. You have to know what you're doing and has money for back up. Some people are born into business. Their family teach them the trick of the trade.

You should be making more than $200/month then, baby. All that knowledge you allegedly acquired, should have paved the way for you to quadruple your earnings.

How long did it take to finish that business course?
