Thai people are helpful

My camera stopped working yesterday and there's too many amazing things here to take pictures of so I needed to go get a new camera.

I decided to go to Carrefour and check out what kind of cameras they had. Not long after I started looking a worker came up to help me. He spoke little English and I only know a few things in Thai but we were able to communicate enough to the point where all my questions were answered.

I expected to just pay for it and walk out just like that. Here's where he surprised me. He started unwrapping it all and I figured it was just to show me that all the pieces were there. I was wrong. He proceeded to unpackaged everything and put it all together for me. And when I say all of it I mean all of it. Complete with batteries, SD card and neck strap.

By now I just assumed he was going to put it together for me and then I would walk out. Nope, not quite yet. He then showed me each button and switch and what it did. After he showed me what a button would do he would hand me the camera and make me do it so he knew I could. Then on top of that I got a bunch of coupons to the store.

I was quite shocked by this. I've never had anyone do something like that for me before. I couldn't stop saying thank you.
