  1. having grown up in a melting pot.. NYC I find it easy to pull words out of peoples mouths and fill in the blanks to understnd what they are trying to say .. In reverse , that is not a common trait here ... here in our village, I can walk into most shops or food stalls and get what I want with my basic Thai .. there's a lot of flip flop with the L & R pronunciation .. I here them speaking with each other and the "Roi becomes Loi" ( as an example ) but when they address me it becomes very "Rrrrrroi" you can tell they are making a concerted effort to rise to the occasion .... I hit them back with the "Loi" version, and it kind of breaks the ice on the same hand, if i go anywhere with my wife, I get the deer in the headlights reaction and they go right to her for the " WTF did he say ? I go to my local favorite coffee shop. and the owners speak perfect english, it's usually one of the daughters and another young lady at the counter/register The daughter knows what to expect and the other young lady will go full panic and try to give me the price in english.. I give her the blank stare and the daughter will tell her to speak Thai. . instant pressure release .. I then repeat her price in Thai and then in English follwed by a "very good" to boost her confidence.. it's a cat and mouse game most times. We won't even go into the Issan speaking .. thet's when I look at my wife and giver her the WTF did she just say ?
