DON'T THAI TO ME
Presented by: Bangkok Startup Association
Hosted at: Industrious Gaysorn Tower
"I'll try my best."
Could mean yes. Could mean maybe. Usually means no.
Thailand runs on rules nobody wrote down. Half the office is breaking them. The other half is too polite to say so. And it goes both ways. You think you're being efficient. Your team thinks you're furious. Everyone nods, and nothing gets done.
So we're saying it out loud, in one room. Real workplace moments, live votes, Thai or Farang, who got it wrong? Then people who've lived both sides tell you what actually happened.
Bring the question you've been too kreng jai to ask.
On stage
