Cambodian vs Indon maids...

[Jey]

Hi all,

Just wanted to get all your opinions about maids as I am thinking of employing a Cambodian maid. Anybody has any experience with them? Are they better than the Indon maids. Appreciate your inputs.

Jey.

Try to get myanmar or thai maids first. There are many myanmar guys working in coffee shops and I have heard good stories on them. Hard working and honest.

Have seen myanmar guys .. but havent seen thais yet.

guys as maids?

[concern!!!]

Cambodian maid will be better. at least they wont runaway with those indon guys ... heheh .. for communication, initial will be abit hard & have to use sign language but they able to learn english quite fast.. experience indon & cambodian maid b4 so think that cambodian is better

not really. I have a friend who's Cambodian maid ran away with Indon or is it locals. They do run away.

Somebody should find out what is the reason why these maids are so fond of running away

I have seen these myanmar girls working near tesco, puchong there in chinese coffeeshops.

If there is communication problem or religious incompatibility, the chances of running away is slim.

guess communication will work out on its own after the initial setbacks...religous compatibility....not sure if there is a concern abt this. We are Christians by the way...Cambods are predominantly Budhists. Will this be a reason for running away? :confused:

many cambodians can speak english... unless they come from the countryside

my friend is buddhist and she is christian and the maid ran away.

my friend is buddhist and she is christian and the maid ran away.

tee...could there be other reasons besides the religous devide? I mean if they ran away because of that, they would have known right beofre they left Cambodia that they could be working for a non-Budhist family right? But I also heard Indon muslim maids running and also Indon Christian maids running and then the Filipinas running... so I beleive the religeon is excluded as a possible reason for that problem. The maids must be very ultra-religous to run away coz of religeous difference.


mmmm... :confused:

mmmm... :confused:maybe they are just like forrest gump, just decide to run...then decide to stop....

Cheers, m

anyone have used any agency that deals with thais that you can recommend?

[geordie]

I can also vouch for another case of a runaway Khmer maid - early August - was working for an expat European family. Waited for the boss to be out of town and the kids sent to school by the driver - and scampered.

can't help but wanna add on to AllUrban's post:... and...

No difference in hiring of maids, regardless of where they come from.
