Thread: Thai speaking Farangs - how very odd!

i'm often amazed how down to earth Thais are using their language..

Friend of mine tries to explain me reading tricks and so....lately we went to a gazoline station and to try him i ask: what about the vaccuum cleaner there, what are they writting ?

dust suck !

Friends of mine speaking well thai tell me that the most difficult ones to understand are the ones they took from another language and adapted in thai ! example : farang

Bit harsh complaining about that....You'll be be knocking them for not understanding Geordie next.


Never underestimate the power of mime.....vacuum cleaners can be a bit risky mind....
