Some basic Thai might come in handy after all these years.

Big/large =yai ใหญ่

Small = เล็ก lek

 

comes in very handy when ordering beer.

 

You have an overwhelming urge to spend time in a tiny room and pay people alot of money then huh ? You aint in Kansas now Dorothy 😆

Did you make up that non-existent word to pretend you are an intellectual Aussie?

I see, you are too lazy to do a bit of research. Here, I'll help you:

 

"Coprophagy is the scientific term for eating feces. It can refer to eating one's own feces, or the feces of another animal or species. The word comes from the Greek words kópros ("feces") and phageîn ("to eat")."

 

Australians punch well above their weight in medical research and science generally. The black box recorder on every aircraft was invented by an Australian.

 

The label of intellectual is usually applied by non-intellectuals, as a form of reverse snobbery.

Coprophagy is an existing word, coprophagocytes isn't, it's just something you made up.

Bloody farangs! "Why do we bother?", thought the pharmacist and the wife.

 

EXACTLY....!!!!!

 

Also, why are these "Bloody farangs" calling each other MATE?

 

Are they both sailors, or something?

 

This is why I rarely leave my compound when there is news of Farangs about.

 

Some Farang are former policemen.

 

Still, just from the Topic description, it is clear that this Farang was raising his voice when not necessary, and probably being impatient with the clerk, .... something which is actually inexcusable, IMHO.

 

Unfortunately, it's not impossible to lose one's equanimity in all this heat. And sometimes we do become unintentionally impatient unless we learn how to COOL IT, and count to about 100, before saying things in a tone that we will later regret.

 

I don't like policemen, because the intervention by such Farang police can quickly escalate, and sometimes to murder, which is often reported here on TV.

It was probably the way that you were speaking to the shop assistant .

It may have appeared that you were being rather rude and abrupt to her ?

thank you. that firm grasp of the obvious must come in handy.

does that justify his interjections and threat?

Because he made the story up. So the imaginary person was going to whatever place the OP chose. 

actually i didnt. AN's tame engagement wranglers provide us with enough fiction, thanks.

I do not start threads unless I seeking specific information and that is very rare.

this was such a bizarre experience i figured i'd share. up to you what you believe, i won't be starting other threads anytime soon.

I wonder if he trying to impress his (new?) wife or was under surreptitious pressure from her of old, to intervene......or if I had to put money on I'd guess he was your average lunatic....?

 I wasn't rude to the woman, the dude jumped in out of context. I know the woman. I have been going in there for more years than I care to count.

I ask you again: is trying to pick fights with strangers at 9 am in a pharmacy instead of minding your own business acceptable behavior to you even if i did come off as abrupt?

Common sense says you should use words that a Thai (or any other non-English speaking person) would easily understand. 

 

Why say 'Large' when you know Thais would more likely understand the word 'Big'? 

 

Empathy and politeness cost nothing. 

Better yet, as the poster has been going to the same pharmacy "for years" perhaps speak to the pharmacist in Thai.

not sure how long you have lived here but some Thais don't want to speak Thai with foreigners, especially in a professional setting, especially if their English is better than my Thai in that context. So I don't speak Thai with my doctor, lawyer,  accountant or pharmacist.  

when someone is making assumptions they just don't hear correction until they are repeated several times.

Brits do say mate but only to someone when they actually are a mate. Aussies say it to everyone because a large number have an extremely limited vocabulary and/or are too intellectually challenged to actually remember anyone's name. I think that is the main difference.

Aussies use it as short for inmate

Who uses that Pharmacy as their regular one, its tourist priced.

Southside has some of the lowest prices I have seen anywhere and can order anything I need in 24 hours.  for example ventolin inhaler 210 baht and a great selection of generics

 

wrong as you may be, at least you didn't bring up politics, so that's a win.

It's hard to believe that someone could be going to a Thai shop in Thailand for years, but then pulled the "if I just say the word in English slower and louder they're bound to understand" cliché...

 

I simplified the conversation here for brevity, but I am clearly doing Thailand wrong, thanks for clearing that up.
