Slap Vs Unskilled Cambodian Peasant folk

[somtamslap]

No sooner had I parked my ample buttocks on the stoic seating arrangement clustered at the shop's facade, than a little lady of epically ancient proportions seemed to scuttle from nowhere in the direction of my face. She then brandished an unopened bottle of beer Chang from behind her back and yelled: Drink it! You must drink this fucking bottle of ale and you must do it now and you must do it quickly.

Well, who was I to turn down such an animated offer.

Wench, I accept! I replied before drinking that bottle of ale and doing it then and doing it quickly and parting with an appreciative belch which rattled the rafters of the venue.

And that was the end of that little discussion.

Feeling a warmth which inexplicably wasn't related to the oppressive blanket of humidity that has recently been cast over Thailand's northeast, I reached for my book, ordered another bottle of beer and settled in for an hour so of quality reading. Grisham, unlike King, doesn't beat around the bush. He gives you a solid pat on the back on the way in, soundly buggers you throughout, and leaves you feeling like you've been assaulted with a fucking gavel come the conclusion.

But alas, it wasn't to be. The turn of events which subsequently transpired, deemed me unable to focus on the pages which lay in my path.

A brace of the Cambodian contingent, who are relatively new to the area and are apparently compensated with a higher salary than the locals, flounced into the shop and began to lurk.

"Fuck off and lurk somewhere else" I said to my book.

One of them asked me for a cigarette. I responded by wordlessly fishing one from my pocket and handing it to him.

He then ventured deeper inside the shop and, right in front of my very eyes, bought a fresh packet of Wonder reds. The FUCKING CHEEK!

Right, best nip this in the bud before I have to lop the fucker down with an axe.

I asked him for a cigarette.

He gave me one.

'Unusual little fucker aren't you' I concluded the tete a tete before slagging Cambodians off to anyone that would listen for the rest of the evening.

Slap - possibly more accepted in the village than his Khmen counterparts.

ha ha.

Probably about a year ago, there was a new extension to the local hospital being built. A lot of the labourers were Cambodian. I didn't realise at first, I was told by the Mrs.

They'd go past the mother in laws house on a daily basis, on the way to and back from the local shop.

"I've never seen those guys before, have they just moved in" said I.

"Cambodians, working on the hospital"

"Oh, ok. Why isn't anyone talking to then"

"Talk what? derkha derkha der derk? Stupid language"

Thai people are so very very ethnocentric.

"Talk what? derkha derkha der derk? Stupid language"

So far I've managed to deduce that Pram baht means five baht, and they also have a word for a common grocery product which sounds like the Thai word for spunk.

I try to listen as little as possible. Knowing one useless language is enough..

[alwarner]

All the Cambodians I've met have been pretty nice.

Thinking about it they probably have the same look on their faces as a Thai on a trip to Laos or Cambodia

*It looks and smells the same, but, it's so very different*

Same here apart from that chancer testing the water last night.

Was very surprised to learn they get paid more than the Thais though.

[Satonic]

Just Incase they take over the establishment here is all you need to know in Cambodian Slap -

Som Beer Moi

Still traces of frog in there then..

[somtamslap]

Agreed. Since that fortnight in Chumphon I've adopted a penchant for the doe eyed cattle.

Cambodians speak a lot more English than Thai's. Camdodian is the only non tonal SE ASian Language.

Not at my shop they don't, just the usual selection of grunts.

[somtamslap]

I'll say it randomly and see what happens. Like shout it at the top of my lungs if they start to upset me..

I'm not. They've got more about them than most Thais seem to have. Got a long way to go to catch the Vietnamese up though.

^^ he's absolutely obsessed with four legged fornication.

[somtamslap]

They're doing the same unskilled job (harvesting corn) with gangs of Thais. Cambodians are getting 60 baht a sack, the natives are getting 50.

Criteria required for the job - Must have a fair command of fundamental motor skills. People with brains will be turned away.

[Albert Shagnastier]

I have fuck all to add save to say quality posters on a quality thread quality posting.

I feel that was a haiku.

Fuck off wankers

My brother`s wife is brazilian and thus speaks portuguese.

My ex-wife used to refer to her as: Moolla Boola

[Loy Toy]

Last week you were moaning about being overrun by the local teens and now your groaning about the Cambodians moving into your territory Slapper.

Isn't there a daily whinging thread for for topics like this?

[Rural Surin]

Khmen peasantry.
Some of my best friends belong here.

Bahasa is not tonal so that probably means the number of speakers of tonal languages are in the minority in SE Asia

=====================
Same here. The Karen, Muser, Lisu receive 30 THB more than Thai day labour.
