I must admit we all laugh at our girls at times - though not often to their faces......... but lets be honest how well do most of us speak Thai apart from a few phrases that we tend to say very poorly.
I wish I could speak Thai half as well as my g/f speaks English....55555555

Otherway around this time, funny things Farangs say.

My wifes got a ringtone, the sounds of a jungle bird.

Today I call her, she picks up and tries to have a play with me in answering the phone by tweeping and singing like her bird ringtone.

So, I say, I have a bird phone too.
Really?
Yes, look what it says here ... NOKiaaa.

Funny or not, she was laughing for quite a long time. I would say, give it a go:-)

Well, I'll give your girl some support here and got to admit I had similar thoughts at first. I only heard the phrase boxing day about 7 years ago. Wondered what it means and someone told me it comes from the older days where the maids and butlers got a present (in a box) from their lordship...or something like that IIRC.

In Germany or Holland, this is unheard off. Guess so it is in Thailand 5555

so my gf is going to the embassy on Monday for her visa

she asked me last night if she should change her hair color

i had no clue what she meant. her hair is naturally brown and she lightens it with blond highlights. it looks very nice

but i guess she was thinking the embassy woudl think she bleaches her hair from black and look down on that

Yeah, rightio 5555


Sounds a funny answer but I guess it arose from that "loosing face" issue.... actually I hardly know any TGs being able to read maps .... :

:-) We get lost including Tom Tom on the Dashboard and having a laugh.

Tom Yam, wasn't a face issue, it was the teachers way of screaming which didn't go down to well.

Talking Strong water with that?

Once I ordered a beer in Isaan and was asked if I wanted strong water.
I though why would I want strong water when I have beer?
I later found out that she was asking if I wanted ice because the beer was not very cold!

Classic. Thai logic at it's best.

Went to a new noodle stand the other day. Once I’d placed the order, the woman told me to “go home”. It actually took me a few seconds before realizing that she was asking “take away” and not a stern marching-order.

About my first trip and I meet a keeper, she speaks almost no English and I have no idea what Thai is. The next day we are joined by a mate who has been in LOS more times then he can count and I introduce my new found friend, five minutes later when he stops laughing, I at last figured out what happened. I told her my name, and when I asked her name she told me “ma loo” so I had been introducing her as ma loo to everyone. I am sure she thought I was a idiot.

Someone is in a funny mood today. My wife just tells me laughingly that I'm going to eat Fak for dinner.

Okay, I ain't going to eat that before I do some research of cause:-)


Wax gourd: Thai name is Fak Khiao
Wax gourd, fak khiao, Benincasa hispida, also called white gourd or Chinese preserving melon, is oblong and light green to white. The ends are rounded and the flesh is solid and white
