I've witnessed the change in voice many times when she talked in her home language. What are you trying to say? I all make it up? ???? Have you been with a Surin girl before? The switch from talking Thai to Khmer to the home folks, is quite noticeable. As said before, nothing bad about the people, the nicest ones up there in Surin ... never had a problem. Talk about change in voice, ok. Sounds very harsh and loud when they speak to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know you are making it up. Ok, good. Then we are just having different perceptions of it.???? I've been married to a Surin girl for 13 years before. If anything, it just proofs that we are all different in how we perceive things around us. As said again, nothing bad about Surin people, I never had a single bad experience there. Purely talking about the tone of language. Maybe the difference to you was the village being 2km from the Cambodian border, all speaking Khmer. Overall, Khmer language does sound much harder and harsher, and not as soft as Thai ... did you not pick up on that?

RedPill Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Actually, to make my point with you ... count to 10 in english one, twooo, threee ... and then in German, EINS ZWEI DREI Can you hear the difference? ????

Facts are facts and nothing else. You probably lived with your girlfriend/wife, who held hard on you. Only been with her and not talked to much more people. During the time I stayed in Surin Province, I was running two successful companies, which mean a lot of contacts and contact with people. Do you understand that simple concept buildt on facts collected from more than one person? Your reality is an abnormal situation. No need to discuss with you, because you are wrong and only base your opinion on one single individual, that you bring to the discussion time after time. When I know out of experience that I am correct, then you are not a person that should te3ll me to understand things. Go back to the playbox an collect more experience instead. What am I defending in your wierd point of view? In my opinion I am informing you about the abnormal in your situation that has led to your twisted belief. Now I guess it became your turn to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRS1301 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Place some ear plugs in, that may assist. There is a tendency for people irrespective of ethnicity, the increase volume when speaking with a person with limited understanding of their native tongue. For some reason we seem to think that higher volume makes comprehension easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They speak Khmen wich is a dialect of Khmer and quite different. It's only spoken in a couple of provinces close to the Thai border and near Surin. Try speaking Khmen in Phnom Penh and they won't understand a word you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you return to the Uk your pension will reset to current levels (I've just started getting mine and recieve £650/month). I'm not certain, but I think that you retain that level if you return after 12 months. As I said before, I would wait out the 12 months strolling down Lord St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to discuss with you, because you are wrong and only base your opinion on one single individual, that you bring to the discussion time after time. It's really just that simple. We are not discussing who is right or wrong, we are just sharing our experiences. What that means is, it's a very subjective topic! You can't claim your own experiences a fact, which then in turn should fit all other peoples experiences. We don't all live in your head/mindset/point of view! My experience still doesn't match which what you claim is your fact! (And you don't have to talk my surin people and family down, I said nothing wrong about them, multiple times. And I met more than 1 person, not only for a holiday) It was only about how my 'ear' experiences the 'khmer vs thai' language. A very subjective matter. But real to me. I've experienced it many times. I'm sure you have a lot of things to say about life in Thailand, we all do after a 1 or 2 decades. Your problem is ... it's not "What" you say, even if truth in it and would be worthwhile to discuss, ... it's "How" you say it and interact with others! That's why you clash in every thread. Whether it's simple house boat rent (look at the peoples responses to you, do you aim for that?), or it's a Sin Sod thread and your 87 years old granny tells you her story, which makes it a fact for you. Others get different stories, also from older Thai people. Who says they are wrong and only your granny right? Or just as simple as this light topic, Thai language vs Khmer language, like you responded to me. You won't accept anything, or talk a little about what others are experiencing, in a very simple easy going discussion. I got you fully down now. In the beginning, I thought it was a bit of fun and discussions with you, maybe some banter here and there. But you are only after arguments and being right, scanning every single thread. (from 7am - 12am) And with that, I will stop discussing with you in future. It's absolutely pointless. People told me before to ignore you, but I thought I give it a try ... didn't work. Only got me a 3 day TV holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I understood your mission on here, now I know how to not respond to you in future, best not at all and just let you go in your own perspectives of life in Thailand. And that's the end of this discussion for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
