gawguy Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I send text msgs in Thai to women and I often like to call them "Miss Lek" - so I'll say "swasdiikhap khun Lek" in Thai. My intent is to be playful as it would be if I were writing or talking to a young farang woman friend in a casual way. It gets a smile. I wondering if I'm totally off track trying to do this in Thai. Is there a better way to do it? What do you think? Thanks...GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 You send text messages to different women and like to call them all by the name Lex .. I put up a post on Thai smiles on this board, check it out. I'm sure the smiles you get are not because their happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Khun Pah" for a girl named Pah. I'm trying to be a little funny, excessively polite. My question is: Do you think a Thai woman would find it funny?

Which rather begs the question as to what sort of wordplay would a Thai lady find amusing? When I send a txt to a lady who has come to my room a couple of time and I start out "Swasdeekahp TiRak" - that always gets a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawguy Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 On the other hand, you guys haven't been a lot of help on this one. One of you married guys must know what little word play makes your wife laugh. Yes? GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
