Another take on them understanding more than they let on... I spent a few days with a lady that appeared to be one of the bigger face girls at her bar. When we'd hang out around other thai girls, she seemed to really understand english alot more than she'd let on... I couldn't put it together, as we had reasonable level of difficulty communicating in english when we were alone, but she would listen to me using big words talking to a farang friend and nod her head at the appropriate times and her body language seem to grasp the conversation. My friend began saying things like "I wouldn't postulate that the woman in question comprehends that the conversation revolves around her..."- and still the understanding nod, and glance to the other girl. Finally figured out she was sorta showing off for her friend, since her english was better than her friend's, she was trying to look like she understood what we were saying.
