Use with Caution

[Flashermac]

In my neighbourhood, most Thais refer to me as archan. Older Thais who don't know me generally address me Khun Nai.

I thought the word for fuck is "Si" pronounded like the letter "C" or sea.

 

I told mama san what I wanted this girl to do to me "Khun si pom", and she told me I better not say that, just tell her you want boom boom.

There are several in the King's palace according to a book written by Princess PhraThep. That swear word got my moth washed by soap when I was little. It just means (I was explained) that the lizards are ugly and ate anything, dirty, that is all.

 

I wonder at times whether some animals xalled each other "human" too ::

It is used with the meaning of "older brother", as someone posted, it is a Chinese word. It also has inuando that the man has some money/status. For women it is "jae" which can mean an older woman (with money). A regular (lack of adjective here) woman will not be addressed as "jae" by strangers to my knowledge.
