The Vietnam challenge: Bye-bye sabai-sabai 
Bangkok Post - Two weeks ago, I wrote a column called "Facing the new challenge of Vietnam". The day after, the Vietnam News called me to ask permission to reprint. I was pleased to allow the newspaper to share my perspective for the Vietnamese. ...
On the same day, I got two voicemails from a Thai reader. He asked me where he could buy the book Blue Ocean Strategy. I had mentioned in the same column that the book could help Thai entrepreneurs survive in the competitive world market. I did not call back, since I thought it was too much spoonfeeding if I have to tell that person where the book could be purchased.
Two days after that, I got an e-mail from one of my workshop participants who is the head of human resources, telling me that she would distribute the column to other HR executives in Vietnam.
A week after the column appeared in the Bangkok Post, I had an executive coaching session with a young Thai executive who manages a couple of hundred IT engineers. I shared with him my positive impression from my Vietnam experience. I asked him about his knowledge of Vietnam.
"I went there a few months ago. I like to explore this country. To my amazing surprise, I think Vietnam's information technology (IT) business will be catching up with Thailand within two years."
"What makes you say that?"
He replied: "I think that for technical skills and knowledge, IT engineers from Thailand and Vietnam are about the same. But if we compare productivity, my rough estimate is that a Vietnamese engineer would be much better - four or five times more than Thais."
"Why?"
"First, Vietnamese salaries are almost half what Thais are paid. Second, on average, a Thai engineer works about 30 hours per week, while a Vietnamese engineer works 60 hours per week. They work six days a week and roughly 10 hours a day.
"In addition, our engineers have some other disadvantages. Number one is we are not disciplined. Number two, the attitude toward work is too demanding, since the IT market in Thailand is short of manpower. Staff turnover is high. Consequently, they are very demanding for benefits and compensation. Finally, our fighting attitude is not good. We want a high salary and we don't want to solve problems. Instead, we look at the technical problems as the challenges; we perceive them as an obstacle to our sabai (comfort)."
After a few seconds of silence, I said: "I think it's not too late. It's just a matter of promoting awareness of how critical discipline is."
I don't want to say this because many Thais might think that I am insulting my own country, but it's a fact of life. The lack of discipline seems to be a cause for several major problems in Thailand.
Without good discipline, we could not make any project run smoothly. I observe in most events in Thailand, the deadline is always compromised.
Our harmonising culture is good in hospitality industries, when we have to deal with clients or provide hospitality services. This is a strength for Thais.
Unfortunately, when we compromise a deadline, there are several consequences after that. I think the cost incurred from compromising deadlines would have a huge financial impact on both government and corporate expenses.
We should not compromise so much by saying mai pen rai (it doesn't matter). It's better to have good project-management skills and stop being so kreng jai when dealing with undisciplined people.
On the other hand, it is imperative for teachers and parents to really educate our children. We must tell them life is about solving problems, fighting with adversity and being persistent. Otherwise, we will have a new generation which is not only weak, but also comes to the workplace with a demanding attitude. They'll say: "How much can you pay me?", instead of asking questions like: "How much I can contribute? How could I learn from solving difficult problems here? And how will I add value to the organisation?".
Today is Christmas and we are approaching the new year. Let's work harder to make the coming year more productive.
As Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning author of The World is Flat, teased Americans in his Times column:
"When I was growing up, my parents used to say to me: 'Finish your dinner - people in China are starving.' I, by contrast, find myself wanting to say to my daughters: 'Finish your homework - people in China and India are starving for your job."'
I would say to Thai children: "If you love sabai sabai, fun and don't learn very hard, soon people in Vietnam will take over all your work. You will never be sabai sabai again.
