When I was a kid, white-collared businessmen would see road crews along the highways leaning on their shovels and declared them lazy bastards never having hard to perforn hard labor in their lives.
My father had worked a lumber camp in his youth and tell them, "You've never worked a day in your life, if you say that."
He was an electrical engineer. His hands were soft, but his voice revealed his respect for a working man.
Farangs criticize Thais for laziness without realizing that Thai workers are pushed to the limit.
10 hours a day. 6 days a week. 200-300 baht a day.
The money goes to cigarettes and alcohol to fuel their labor, so they'll find someplace to catch up on their sleep and no one does it better than this day-laborer lying on a steel atop a townhouse.
Comfortable?
