Since 'krap' is the male polite particle, I guess we know who's been calling you Teerak...

Lady says, "Khop khun khaa." Same same for LB.

Note: putting the h afer the k when spelling Thai words with English letters means that the k is pronounced the same as k in English. When there is no h after the k, then it means the k should be pronounce same as g in English.

of course ur right about the kaa for ladies but more and more girls are using krap in some circumstances, why i have no idea, i asked them and neither have they, just said they felt like saying it

Uh-oh!!!!!!!! Women's lib comes to Thailand. Will they be wanting to be like men like the farang ladies? That would really ruin what's best about TGs, IMHO!

I've noticed quite a few male shop assistants (in places like Robinsons etc.) say kha... soft spoken ones, might be described as effeminate but not out and out LBs. Maybe they are in their free time...

I noticed this too in the market last year, the guy returned my gf's khawp khun kaa with the same

When I asked why he said that instead of khrap, and was he a LB, my missus said that it is fine to return with the same.

I did try to ask her more about it, but by the time I caught up with her she had her head in a bag of locusts!! so I never got any further

Plenty LB's dress and look like guys but see themselves as being the 3rd sex or a lady

Some not bothered with sex change thing or looking like lady to the same degree as others

A bit of a grey area cause to me that just makes them gay if u no what i mean

What happened to the "kop koon krap" bit????

Could it be that it only comes after:
Teerak..., phom yak hai satang khun.......555555555

Everywhere i went i was greeted with Sawatdee Kaa, and i started returning it to them, with the little bow. Then on my final day the driver informed me men should say Sawatdee Khrab, the locals probably thought i was homosexual or something lol
