RE: Protect Yourself Bangkok Thailand monomad
In Asian community (although I do not know if this is the case in Thailand) people have a "social reputation" which is a deterrent of criminal activities from a very young age of a person.
They do not use credit scores or use banks to borrow to start a business. People borrow from the community based on their reputation.
So,
everyone has a family business
is a good indication that the society monitors or "police" their own and once a person's reputation is tainted, s/he can no longer do business there and make a living.
If you steal from here, it is like stealing from your own mom.
No, if "you" steal, everyone will know.
Oh my goodness. I had not thought of it that way, but I know you are right. Reputation is so much more important here than in the us. Thank you for setting me straight.
