for fun .. I tell my friends / family back in the U.S.
The weather is great, the food is fantastic, the country and landscape is beautiful ..
but I can't speak the language and hold a conversation with anyone,,,,, "Priceless"
and when I'm out alone shopping .. I get asked quite often from cashiers,, can you speak Thai ?
My reply,, ( in Thai ) is "I can speak Thai a little.. but my wife does not want me to speak Thai so I can't talk to beautiful women ...
that alway's gets them cracking up ( and blushing )
