Alf Witt Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Given that the English are not disposed to learning foreign languages I am developing a system for farangs to be understood in Thailand by speaking English only. The pronunciation may not be exact, but its as good as you will get from the average Englishman. The following are some basic phrases. All that is required is to remember the Thai meaning for the English phrase. All suggestions for inclusion in this innovative publication will be gratefully received. men awry - English: males behaving badly Thai: What's the bad smell crap pom - English: comment upon Aussie roots Thai: polite acknowlegement my hen - English: The eggs belong to me Thai: I have not seen her, him, it. you cow - English: expression of endearment to a lady Thai: I'm hungry pee sow you knee cap? - English: Did the pig urinate on your leg? Thai: Is your older sister here? look sow - English: Did you see the pig? Thai: Daughter homme mac mac - English: He's pretending to be French but he's really Scottish Thai: What a wonderful smell cow pat - English: be careful where you put your feet in the farmyard Thai: fried rice men mac - English: they come from north of the border Thai: what a stink yo yo - English: childs toy Thai: many cap ban - English: no hats allowed Thai: I'm going home Bangkok - English: Reason for visiting Thailand Thai: Krungthep Go pee pee - English: p*ss off Thai: Andaman island. die, die - English: Why don't you drop dead?
