i said pom chen brian, coon chean arai?

She smiled and gave me a Wai

Then i asked her the proper way to say hungry (hue) i had it kinda right she just extended the e sound at the end.

Thai is a fun language.
It appears as if she wai-ed you because she didn't have a clue as to what you had just said to her. Chen is not even close to "cheu" which is what you meant to say, I presume. Unless chen was a typo. "Cheu" sounds a bit like "chew," but not quite the same. Listen closely and imitate the way they say it.
