What's KAP?

Same-same as Krap...just minus the R!
Sawadee Krap & Sawadee Kap...same - same.
Supposedly the Krap is a better way of pronunciation
or so I have been told.

Some years ago...I was walking along Sukhumvit with a lass & we were
en-route to the old Ambassador Food Court...via Suk Soi 30 or somewhere
like that. As we came upon a mom & pop shop she asked if she could have
a "Cock" because it was fairly hot that day. I replied with a : "What,
right here, right now?" kinda thing and she got all giggly then said:
No farang...not that Cock...this Cock and grabbed a Coke outta the shops
chiller box. I reckon I stopped laughing when we got near the food court.
It was a lovely but slightly warm walk...and her & I learned a few new
words....a great day out all in all.
