Asp Viper

[ColeBOzbourne]

I was watching a nature show about different types of vipers, dubbed over in Thai. The speaker slowed to concentrate when describing the Asp Viper, but did a good job with pronunciation. I tried it on a few Thai friends. It turns out some native speakers find the Asp Viper quite a challenging name to pronounce.

Mummy one wonders how many Westerners would fair with pronunciations not in their native tongue.

Looking desperately to see what Asp Viper have to do with Thailand at all?????

I failed...... Why even bring this up, a strange snake, does it even exist in Thailand??

B.t.w. I tried your name (ColeBOzbourne,) on my wife. but she couldn´t get that correct either......

Why the feelings of desperation and failure over a little light-hearted humor? The Pub is not limited to topics about Thailand. Keep trying, maybe you'll figure it out.

Try saying the full name of Bangkok in front of a bunch of Thais sometime.
