Khun_Kong Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Nice list! Some really useful stuff here. It is nice to see phrases that are actually used by everyday people, not just listed in some phrasebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Lucky, can you add Thai script to your phrases (as you did with the last two)? It makes it easier for me to properly say some word with which I am unfamiliar. Well, in theory. My tones are crap. But it is good to know what is the correct one to use. If I could use them. LOL. Thanks, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Maybe you can help me out. I know I say it wrong in Thai but my wife will not correct me. The expression I would like to say correctly is "I am going to Thai box your ass!" I am serious about this, no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, SD Too right, I can't get those tones either. Easier for my wife to read it and then just tell me. Maybe make another post titled "get your teruk to teach ya this" Ozzie.

khunsanuk Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hi, Nah, that would be 'I need to hit your ass'. I'd say, 'Phom ja chok doot kun'. No idea how to get the 'Thai' part in there though. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
