  1. My "negativity" is that all of a sudden, you said my phrase implied the seller didn't know, and it becomes obvious that you don't know the meaning of it.

    Yes indeed, my mistake, it's because I inderstood it as "คุณไม่ทราบว่า", like in English "would you know" whereas it is obviously "I don't know", or rather "I'm wondering". Right?

    What about แค่อยากรู้ or อยากรู้อย่างเดีว ? Would it sound goofy as well? In other words is it the redundancy that makes it sound goofy?

  2. No it does not. You obviously do not understand the phrase ไม่ทราบว่า at all.

    So, would you care to explain? Why the negative form if you don't imply a possible negative answer?

    แค่อยากรู้อย่างเดียว will sound very goofy and no Thai would have said it.

    Well, just Google it and you will be surprised.

  3. Mole, it implies that the woman may not know the price. A bit weird if she is the owner...

    For "out of interest" I would say แค่อยากรู้อย่างเดีว (I just want to know only).

  4. So you're not interested in places to pick women up... means no gogo, no girlie bars, no disco... but then you want to see a ping pong show, I don't get it. Ping pong shows are the most boring and least sexy shows ever, it's like going to the circus and see a bored and drugged tiger performing stupid tricks. You should rather go to one of those places where you can pick women up (yeah I know you're not into "that") but at least you can listen to music, dance, drink, meet some friendly people, chat, play pool or whatever. Much better fun, believe me.

  5. English is not my mother tongue and I used the wrong term, I thought insecure meant "not safe" but seeing your reactions I checked and found out the meaning. So I didn't mean insecure in their head, I was talking about people who don't feel safe and have guard dogs to protect themselves or their house. I was also thinking of people where I am from who walk around with pitbulls, rottweilers or dobermans just to look tough and scary. Anyway, sorry for the confusion.

    It doesn't change the fact that some dogs are intimidating and when you don't know anything about the owner it's not preposterous to see the dog as a potential danger.

  6. I know it doesn't help answer your question but i sympathise with you sincerely as i had exactly the same problem in Phuket whenever i walked my Doberman on the beach or around the village, territorial soi dogs and uneducated people who just jump to conclusions.....the people NOT the dogs!! lol

    You can call me uneducated but too many people have big dogs because they feel insecure and they need some kind of protection, so yes if I see someone with a doberman or a "60 kg intimidating beast" (OP's words), and I don't know anything about that person's background and the way he has raised his dog, my reaction is to beware, especially with my kids around.

  7. I'll give it a quick try, hopefully it will be easier for someone else to fill in the blanks and correct mistakes.

    Roof work
    - Roof tiles CPAC Monier standard color.
    - Roof structure steel type according to plan, no rusting, antirust paint applied before assembly (............)
    - Steel size must be full weight size, standard of industry.
    - Eaves made from hard wood, size according to plan.
    - Sheet/plank protecting from birds (prefabricated) to be assembled according to manufacturer's guidelines.

  8. Maybe they would like Cha-am, it's famous for its fresh sea food and you can walk along the beach (5 km long). Accomodation is affordable, weather is not too humid. Not sure about beach cleanliness as I hardly ever go these days. Week-ends are busy, so if they need a quiet place you could look further down south, like Bang Saphan or Ban Krut, as mentioned above. The further south you go, the nicer the beaches are.

  9. I live on the outskirts of Cha-am where the only available provider is TOT. It's just ok for basic web browsing but forget about watching TV or virtual meetings. Out here in the sticks you also have to bear with power cuts quite often. If you need a fast (like in "not too slow") connection, you have to live in the center of town and, as hhfarang said, get an expensive package.

  10. Just a wild guess... I'd say something like: in fact yes there is someone but not true love for life, more like something temporarily attached.

    I think there must be a play on words by opposing "neua kru" (couple made one for each other, but "neua" is also flesh) and "neuangok", like a cyst or tumor (also flesh, but that you are reluctant to see attached to you).
