Bangkok

I spoke to a friend todday, Dave, about getting an employee in Bangkok.

It took a load off my mind - apparently many Thais have gone to English speaking schools and have perfect use of the language. You beauty! This is great news - Thai people that speak great English are the perfect set. They understand the language, culture and customs and can also be communicated with effectively.

Now the question is - how do I find someone who is reliable? Who knows. This will be a toughie.

So I’m gearing up to hire my first employee for my site Newton Clothiers . (Actually it could be two - I might be hiring someone in Melbourne to do visits for me when I can’t.)

Here’s the rub though : this employee will be in Bangkok. Yep, I’m trying to figure out to hire someone who I won’t meet for a little while. This person will have to print off an order, go to the tailor, make sure he understands the order and that everything is a-ok. Then one week later, they’ll print off another document and pick up the shirts ordered the week before and mail them to me. Sound easy? Well, to me, most definitely. The job does. Now to find someone I can trust…

Help, anyone?
