Agreed Richard , I spend a lot of time in Isaan, the dialect is  comparable to perhaps the North-east of England ( Geordies )

I did once address a taxi driver as Mung ( a long time ago )

intentionally as he had overcharged me big time.

There was a problem but as he was in the wrong initially , I stood my ground and he backed down. With the current climate in Bkk I probably would be more careful when berating a chap in the same situation.

 :cool:

Another pleasant habit my wife has ( and she has many!)

in the nong/phi vein , when she is addressing an older or perhaps person in authority she will refer to herself as Noo ( little mouse) but only if they are not familiar.

The pronoun Bok is also used as a prefix when referring to someone familiar ,i.e. Bok Philip! ( me ).a tad aggressive but in a nice way....I hope!

As for the chap saying earlier that you must never use "Goo/Mung" unless being aggressive , suggesting only older or poorly educated people use this.....GENERALISATION!

Admitted it must be used to those close to you , not strangers.. My wifes elder sister is a doctor , I've heard her on the phone many times...it's Goo/Mung city!

Lets start a new thread using the Jai Noun....wheres my heart Talk  book....?

Sorry Eddie , wasn't aware that I was in the smart-arse category , at least not with your threads

Here goes with a serious answer.

If we're not happy its Mung-you ( impolite) Goo - I (impolite)

Normal -Chan /Phom (I), Kuhn ( you)

Soppy - Teerak Jah

Grovelling - I call her Kuhnying.

Then theres the distinctly insulting-EE hah / Bok Hah

Ooops I'm getting carried away..

It's nice to see the consumers have a choice...

Cheers Thetyim , it's all crystal now.....wheres me beer?

My treat.  Not looking for sex (except when it feels right) mainly good friendship and connection.  Wondering how some would react to this offer and whether you would enjoy responding?  

Most probably they would leg it .

I have spent the last 3 years around Soi 89 Charansanitwong and I have never seen any of this Action!!!

Maybe you're too busy mugging people?

j/k

England/Uk and America invaded Iraq Matey.

Maybe you should change your nationality to French.

Try starting sentences with a capital , it will make your badly written post a little easier on the eye.

Are you comparing USA's rape and murder statistics with the genocide that occurred in Iraq/Afghanistan?

I'm sure you've got a valid point somewhere , try again...

Muay Thai , what's happening with your saga?

Saga = a long detailed account

Roll on the 4th!

Regards charging a guest fee , if Bud is staying at the Woodlands Inn , they will unless he has booked a double room.

Only about 150 baht extra per night , and less hassle in my opinion. They have a decent Indian restaurant and Internet access , so he can keep us updated.

So , that rules out Middle aged office ladies also?

That clears it up big styleee!!!!

Cheers Boyo

With regards to international terrorism it amazes me , the amount of people accusing the West of "spin" "conspiracy" etc , never seem to have a problem with the acts that have been committed , i.e "Twin towers" "Bali bombing" "Kurds gassed in Iraq" "Lockerbie bombing" .

What's next "Apec bombing in Bkk"  ???????

I hope to Christ not , but will this blame be directed to the West also?

Heres hoping not.......

Ouch!

I think Captain Bud is real, and I'm sure he has more entertaining stories to tell than most people on this site.

Abolutely !  Like Santa Claus , I'm sure your parents told you about Cap'n Bud when you were a kid!

Speaking of stories , do you have any of your own , or are you just a critic?

???

Woof Woof

Yawn.....where's Bud? We need some light relief from this pseudo-intellectual-feminazi-thingamyjig....

All meant with an ironic self-depracating slant of course.

Can we have another photo of you Savitri?

Pretty please...

:cool:
