  • Speaking Thai with both barrels

    While I spent my time in Spain , I did attempt to try and learn some basic Spanish , and found the language easy to learn compared to Thai . I do know how to say the basic every day sentences in Thai , but one thing that has always rubbed me up the wrong way , is when I'm out and about with the wife , and I attempt to converse with another Thai person , after Ive spoken to the Thai , they just look straight at my wife like I'm invisible , and ignore me completely . Ive told my dear wife many times that if I could speak perfect Thai , I would have great pleasure in giving many Thai's a piece of my mind , I would let loose both barrels and tell them just what I thought , be it receiving poor service at the bank , cold food in a restaurant or just how stupid they are .

    Can you speak enough Thai to let rip with both barrels , if yes have you done so or would you like me love to speak perfect Thai and give some idiotic Thai a piece of your mind

    So little empathy, so little compassion, unless on parole I cannot grasp why any adult would stay in a place they are free to leave unless a masochist ?

    You seem very dissatisfied and angry , cold food is normal if want hot learn a few words.
    In my second century here I have never had bad service in a local bank, but then I'm not angry, quite the opposite I try to be polite and when in Rome do as the Romans, or be that infleible falang on the edge slowly realizing they despise you.Of course if you disparage your host culture which has survived all poor leaders I cannot see why you remain.

    They will never change to your ways adapt or anger it seems you've chosen the path of most resistance with the inevitable consequences.

    Vipassana silent meditation is a good starting point.

      Ive met many namby pamby limp minded backboneless people here who seem afraid to stand up or comment on receiving poor treatment or services , instead opting to smile and just walk away with their tail between their legs . Ive got a sneaking suspicion that you may be a member of that club.

        My Thai is fairly atrocious but I can't say I've ever received the cold shoulder while trying to get some service or the like. Often it's quite the opposite when the object of my attention realizes I'm trying to speak Thai to them. A big smile or a laugh then an attempt to understand what I'm saying.

          This has been my experience as well. While they may laugh at the Farang when he mispronounces words or the tone is wrong, it's never been malicious.

          Hospitality is great here & if ineffective at times...well, try naming a local that beats the Thai at friendliness?
          Texas comes close...
          God, the panic within the Dems, MSM, and left must be horrifying...realizing that Joe is really the best they've got.

              To tourists and newbies, my Thai is great. To people who speak Thai really well, it is terrible. I can usually get across what I need to get across and understand what I need to understand. However, if Thais start speaking to me like another Thai, I probable won't get it. I'll never be as good as the few farangs I know that really are fluent. I only know two people I would put in that category after decades living in Thailand.
              I find Thais really helpful, except they pretend to understand when they don't. I don't have that problem much anymore, although my pronunciation is pretty bad.

                That's the case most everywhere I've been although with the Latin-based languages, it's easier to stumble through conversations with limited fluency.
