Thanks all around. This has been an educational excursion plus I got some smiles along the way. (Chicken "horror story" for the win!)

We will try both the verbal & visual methods and, if any fun stories result, I shall post here without fail. Cheers to all and thanks again!

jackdd, re: my reply to you, I misinterpreted your message, but now I get it. (English is my first language and I'm still learning how to speak it.) ???? 

"I think you may find that when you actually come to do it, it will be hit and miss if your instructions are followed."

Thanks for your help -- and no doubt! The good news is we are not fussy.

Maybe a better alternative to my "bright idea" ???? is to do what we usually do: just say "mai sai pak chee."

For "no sugar," will "mai sai wan" do the trick?

Thank you for this, but we want them to not add sugar or cilantro. If you can type out the proper sentence for us, that would be much appreciated. I can then copy and make my wallet card!

My wife & I are making a return trip to Thailand next month. I had what (I hope) is a bright idea and I would welcome an answer from anyone who reads Thai.

Both of us come from families with a history of diabetes, so we avoid sugar. And both of us hate the taste of cilantro (pak chee). Don't laugh, happy marriages are built on such details! ????

Anyway, I thought a clever communications hack would be to make a wallet-sized printout in Thai to show when we order food so via Google Translate I made the attached instructions. But I have no way of knowing if it is accurate or comprehensible or may make someone laugh or get angry. ????

Can anyone help? If it's erroneous, I'd welcome a corrected version.

Khawp khun krap!
