I think that would be Pom yaak lia meow khun and I really don't want to that.

^ I doubt if anyone would use such polite or formal terms in any event whether wanting to lick a pussy or a cat. Drop the Pom, drop the Khun. Just do it.

I bought a Seiko watch because the Thais pronounce it as psycho.

Mai kao dtaa - literal translation ... eyes dont see or doesnt enter the eyes ... but in real terms ... 'you havent got a farkin clue'

ngoo ngoo, bplaa bplaa. Snake snake, fish fish. I use it often to express how little I know about a particular subject. Always a good laugh for the Thais.

Try it!!

Mai Khao jai = I don't understand = WTF

Arai na = what did you say = WTF

Bai ! gai gai !! = go a long way away = Piss off

Yet bet maa...Fuck your mother

kno muan mare...Stupid as a dog

Khun Thai ben kikiat chip hai...Thai people are damm lazy.

And a lot more that I can't be arsed to write..

nok eang go lang kwai = bird who sits on the back of a buffalo. Mild insult for a stupid person.
