Concerns after two foreign women sunbathe in Chiang Mai temple
Olav Seglem replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Much fuzz about nothing. Im sure, if the thai person, instead of taking time to take photo, posting on facebook and getting annoyed, would instead informed the 2 ladies that sunbathing at temple was inpropriate, they would apologized and leave. But then, of course, the thai didnt learn english at school, and would not have gained "own moment of "clicks":-)- 163 replies

Norwegian man accused of murder in Thailand now back in Norway
Olav Seglem replied to Arbeid's topic in Chiang Mai
This original story another example of how media draw immidiate conclusions, specially in non-thais. The original story was focused in a manner that he was obviously guilty. -
Anyone else hate the New Year Family Gatherings?
Olav Seglem replied to Chris Daley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I did try, surely as many other here, try to learn thai. Bought books, tried to listen to how thais talk etc. (I speak norwegian, english, some german, little french and understand danish and swedish). My experience in buriram when try to speak thai (exept basic things) is they just look, and seems not try understand. So after a while you just stop trying. When, in norway, a foreigner tries norwegian we really do our best to understand, and give him credit for his efforts. Dont say all thais dont try, but to many dont, unfortunately :-) -

How come English speakers are incomprehensible to others?
Olav Seglem replied to vangrop's topic in Pattaya
Im norwegian living in thailand. Used to speak english with foreign customers in norway, british, american, whatsoever. I have a great british friend here in thailand, and i enjoy our conversations. However he comes from north london and speak dialect. Definately not easy to under understand, but always get the meaning :-) Guess we norwegians, meeting a foreigner try speak norwegian would have tried speak to him in "standard norwegian". But can understand easy to forget. And also-we can ask polite:"can you please try speak without your dialect, so more easy for me to understand :-) -
