Only if you are a complete and utter knobhead.

Look at it these two possible scenarios.

1. You go up to an obvious bar girl and ask her if she is a prostitute.
Result= You are a knobhead.

2. You go up to any other girl in the street and ask her if she is a prostitute.
Result= You are a knobhead.

I'm afraid you are just one of these hapless guys that makes himself look like a knobhead every time you open your mouth.

Suggestion: Keep it closed. :rofl:

You are obviously an expert at these matters, and unpleasant to boot. Why are you so offensive?
I like the newbies, not all are very experienced, so it's a fair opening question. Cuts to the chase nice & quick. You then need to make sure that they understand, and are willing to do, whatever it is that you want them to do. Such verbal contracts are, in the main, pretty successful.
I dislike bars, frequented as they are, by people like yourself - plus the rough old pros do not turn me on at all.
Is it really so satisfying to put people down? Your behaviour says a lot about yourself, more than it does about me.

Newbie? At life in general? Anyone .. in any country .. asking random females if they are a prostitute .. is .. in my opinion .. a knobhead. I'm just saying like it is. I'm not "trying" to be offensive .. it just looks that way. The truth hurts sometimes. Deal with it.

You think I'm offensive .. but asking random females if they are ho's or not is not offensive???

Ting tong to the max! "Naive Sexpest" is an apt description methinks.

"You don't have to worry; I won't (sexually) arouse you during your sleep."

^ Change the "ฉัน / chan" to "ผม /pohm" (I) .... unless you are a ladyboy! :smileylaughing:

It was to be said by a lady to a man....geddit? I thought it was amusing anyway....

But also, as you would know, a man can say "chan", if being polite....

What random females? As if.
You just can't admit that I'm not the green twat you assumed I was, so eager were you to have a go at me.
Get a life.:spin:

Why not learn to speak politely and use innuendos, Thais love talking in innuendo.

I do not think so. Unless you want the Thais to laugh at you. :)

^Ask a Thai...I did and that was the reply. A Bangkok university educated Thai...

I asked my Mrs. Chi, who taught Thai and English at a BKK uni and she said absolutely not.

And Mrs. Chi is of course right.

Chan can be used between lovers, husband and wife.
It implies a very strong familarity or kinship.
A patriak of the family may use this pronoun too, when adressing younger members of the family.
Kids can do it too.
And people belonging to "Pooying Praphet Tee Sorng" women of the second kind will also use it.
In Lakorn you hear this pronoun used on a regular basis.

But for a foreigner using it?
It is anything but polite.

I really think "chan" is only used by women, little boys, gays/ladyboys, and between two men who are REALLY close friends.

I agree with pescator .. it would be strange for a farang male to use it.

Yes .. you are quite right. I'm wrong. You just keep asking women if they are ho's or not. Nothing wrong with that at all. I don't know what I was thinking. My apologies.

I'm off to get a life now .. be back shortly. :deadhorsebig:

pom kor jub meu koon dai mai? is the correct way to say that written it is ผมขอจับมือคุณได้ไหม?

ผมขอจับมือคุณได้ไหม?

pom kor jub meu koon dai mai?) is the correct!!:kma: way to say may i hold you hand

I don't ask them .. it's a silly question. Just grab their hand. I'm sure they don't mind. Inane babbling in Thai just for the sake of it is ... well .. "nerdy"
