ozpharlap Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Not to sure if Thai's, like a lot of other asian countries, adopt their age from the date of conception, so, 81 may be 83 (depending on the month they were born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 He's 81. Big massive celebration for his 80th almost 2 years ago, not 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thais don't do that Chinese "name game". Thailand has been influenced more heavily by Indian culture than Chinese, unlike Vietnam. None of that you are one when born - and in Vietnam everyone is a year older on Tet, no matter when their actual birthday is. BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
