Before I got the first job in my life, I had never thought it would be difficult to work with foreigners. Now, I realize that I’m completely wrong. However, no one is to blame for this kind of problem and things bit by bit get better I am sure.
People from different corners of the world of course have different minds and thoughts. I’m a Thai while my boss is British who is quite open. Thai people have a unique way to express the feeling, ideas, needs etc. They are not really open as they ‘Krengjai’, the word I’ve never been able to translate to an English single term.
‘Krengjai’ is a common habit of the Thais who dare not speak out or do something since they care and are afraid it could hurt someone’s feeling. The habit makes the Thais sweet and super friendly human being and I can’t deny that I really love the way Thai people are. However, I’m now trying pretty hard not to stick with that kind of habit as I need to be more open so that I can happily work here 
It’s been six months since the first day I started working, I’m really cool with everything - assignments, colleagues, my boss, the office and so on. I’m now learning not to Krengjai, but hope it won’t become my permanent habit!!
