Unwritten thai lesson #4, if you really want to p**s off these people just ask them คนไทยหรือเปล่า I suspect คนพพม่าหรือเปล่า would be more grating. Even more so คนเขมรหรือเปล่า.

I once asked a nice girl in a bar if she could also speak Thai. I'm afraid I had to do without company after

Unwritten Thai lesson #3, if you want to know the status of your hosts, are you sat at a "chinese table", and I dont mean Chinese people. โต๊ะจีน, all the thais in bkk know what it means. Didn't spot you at the Lyman's this year dear chap....you must have been in the garden with your cubanas. Sorry old chap, you should have told your secretary to contact mine. Was too busy having a hoot shooting wild tigers from the snooker room, the mrs said let the elephants go this year, she has too many elephant handbags as it is. Sorry old chap, no illegal cuban immigrants up this way, at least i can still hire burmese staff for 500 baht per day. PS must apologise, stick or twist, Polish zloty or cryto currency, wheres effin Fletch when I need him?

Going back to the profs observation about the butchered language in use.
I was sat at Thai joint about 4 days ago, some Thai bird was hyper ventalating, she couldnt get the words out fast enough.
Eeee, eeee, with each eeee she started pointing in a certain direction, eee eeee eeee nang toat, hilarious.
I was reading some forum the other day and the experts couldnt tell the difference between, verb+ไม่ได้ and ไม่ได้+verb.
FFS this is basic stuff, from what I remember course #2 at UTL.
