Dexi Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 make sure you use the correct ' p ',otherwise it means ' ghost ',as in the old Thai joke,' pom bpen norg,kun pben pee ',the latter having a rising tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiRai Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 don't even think about trying to jai-rai the JaiRai. (does that work in Thai?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Funny, I also am known to a little clique of Thais as JaoPaw, or more commonly, in English 'Big Mafia'. Of course, it must be ironic, since I am of around average size, and not associated with organized crime! YimSiam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiRai Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 ^^ hungover at Oskar bar one afternoon, went to the restroom and returning to my stool --- I smashed my regular glasses because I forgot I laid them on the seat. Was awfully sunny that day and I was irritable, even moreso now, and about to head home - one of the waitresses i knew well gave me her extra pair of shades. This ridiculously over-sized pair of sunglasses a la hollywood 1972. Well, the other waitresses seemed to think this funny when i put them on and began to say oooooh, he's jao-paw (due to the sunglasses). I thought the story was over with that. Couple weeks later I was back at Oskar in the evening with a girl I'd been hanging out with and the waitresses walk up -- ooooh, it's jao-paw. I kinda rolled my eyes and said 'no, i'm not jao-paw.... stop saying that~' - but they were too busy laughing at their own joke - and this infection spread to the girl i was with who began calling me jao-paw. And it spread even further from there. eventually i just gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
