Does any one know what this means?

Can any one tell me what "Choo tang jai" means? Not sure about the spelling but this is how it was spelt in an email to me.

I had quite a discussion with my wife about that.

What I gathered is that it could mean that the sender of the email loves you with your whole heart, but can't be with you because i.e. she's already married, you are married or you are somewhere else far away etc. you get the drift.

choo in this context means "secret", so, her feelings are with you, but her body can't.

Thanks for bringing up this discussion ;-)

Thanks guy's, that clears it up. Given the situation, the response of ub2yoo perfectly explains the circumstances.
Thanks to Mrs ub2yoo as well. It certainly helps to get the Thai perspective, she was right on the money with this one.

Mabelei Kap. You're welcome.

It was funny to discuss this. She brought up and example:

"We are married. You go to Pattaya and fall in love with a lady and don't tell me, that's choo tang jai"

So I tell her I better don't go to Pattaya then...

"No, if we go together and I find a lady for you, then I know - that's mai choo"

Phew...good news here ;-)
