Deserted Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 You probably know of the story concerning Icarus who flew too close to the sun and burnt his wings. Is there a similar expression or concept in Thai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlyai Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 There would be. You will have to ask a Thai native speaker what it is as it may be nothing like what you think. As an example (and my avitar) 'It's like talking to a door.' But in Thai the expression is "playing a fiddle to a buffalo". ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does playing fiddle to a buffalo mean then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
