She knows what it means. It brings in customers. But when she doesn’t want to actually do that particular thing, she pretends not to understand...

Depends on the girl, this one is an innocent newbie so i believe her. They have poor taste in men, and dodgy falang like to stamp them

Maybe its time Thailand shifts back to our Alphabet.

Shifts back? 

When did Thailand ever use the Roman alphabet?

Thai script perfectly fits Thai pronunciation of their own language, our alphabet can't do it.

Its just a hassle..and makes it harder for thai kids to learn English if they dont drop the thai letter signs..

abcde is the way to go.

A hassle for you.

Do you want the entire world to ditch their scripts, Cyrillic,Japanese, Laos, Khymer Arabic, Mandarin, Korean, Indian languages, etc or any other script that doesn't involve the Roman alphabet because it's a hassle?

Yes will make it easier to understand the shop and road signs and while we at it drive on the right side of the road in all countries.

Basically, you want the entire world to drop what they're doing to conform to your home county's standards to make life easier for us expats. Good Grief!!!

 

I think that what could be happening with some of these strange random tattoos like 'spring rolls' or 'chicken noodle soup' is the foreigner tries to explain to the Thai tattooist some English, hard to translate phrase he wants and rather than translate it wrong or say he can't translate it and lose the business, the tattooist just puts some benign phrase down which the customer is unaware of.

Never mind the tatoo, she should consider joining the Weight Watchers, before it's too late.

I don't understand a word you just tried to convey.

It makes zero sense to use English phonetics to approximate Thai language.

You've heard the mispronounced word for island over and over because transliteration spells ir koh.

I think the Thai alphabet is well suited to its purpose. But there's still room for improvement in the written version of this language.

1. Spaces between words. Please. 
2. No more implied vowels... such as มหานคร which is mhankhn to my untrained eye...

They do it in Vietnam with all the `^'s for tones. Dunno if they like to drink mangoshakes every day though.

That’s true for the tones we need to find a solution example the one word Maa it can mean 3 different things 1  Dog.2 Horse. 3 come.

Yup  island just means Koh very simple.

we could easily learn and understanding Thai language much better if the shift to the ABCD’S...

Also then Thais much faster learn English if they familiar with Abcde..

Well if it were food related and I had to have a tattoo I think I would opt for Tan (coke cola)

That's the price you pay for having a tattoo written in a language you can't read. ?

Some years back when I owned an import gift store with my Chinese partner and Tat's were just beginning to hit the gen-pop, people would come into the store and ask about Chinese characters.One day a young and burly muscle bound fellow wandered in and proudly displayed his newly minted tat of Chinese characters on his neck and asked my partner what they meant.....looking closely at them she then said "are you sure you want to know"? he then retorted back with "well I do know,its strength,bravery and honor"....sorry, not those characters,a direct translation from my partner was...."the owner is a fool"....The look on the dudes face was priceless!

 

In later years that incident gave me the epiphany for a start-up business in tattoo removal...I named it 'The Fool I Used To Be'. Selling the franchise I have since retired comfortably in Thailand. Amen ????

On my first trip to the LOS I spent some time with a local lass who’s company was not completely free. She told me of a new girl who wanted to decorate herself with some ink to be the same as the big girl and it was suggested why don’t you get “no money , no honey”
On her return to the bar she proudly showed off her new tattoo.
The tattooist had written
“No money, no horney “ !
They laughed and they laughed.

The Thais are very clever they way they can make puns and jokes in English and Thai.

At this Tatoo festival at a famous temple the 'magic' tatoos cost a dollar or two and is done by a monk with a 15 inch needle. The backpackers, hipsters and two week tourists pay hundreds for the same thing from a tatoo shop.

I was in a gogo the other day and one girl had "f*** arse" on her arse cheeks, she didn't know what it meant when it was done. Another dodgy farang got his name tattooed on a girls pelvis. So it goes both ways. Maybe the op are examples of revenge

 

 

 

 

There was a Japanese guy a few years back that had his name tattooed on a lot of the bar girls down pat pong. He was paying to brand them and many apparently had no problem or no foresight to go along with it.

got HMS on my todger when he wakes up it spells HAMMERSMITH (sorry)

i had a chines tat done in Holland, before i had it done i went into 2 chinese restaurants and pointed to the piece of paper it was written on and said *what does that say* they both said  JENNY sorted, if it said spare rib and chips i would not have minded , get pissed , go into a chinky on the way home and just point to my arm,, ha ha

Get yourself branded for life, makes perfect sense. yea right.!!!
