Dear Folks,

I really do not like the sounds emitted by drunken young men drinking beer together, sitting around a table, in a night market, or just by the roadside, or even outside their homes.

But, what are the sounds made by Thai-Guys, would you say, if one were to try to qualify them, based on any Hollywood or Bollywood films?

I do not know about you….but….

Here is MY selection for the most representative sound of Thai-Guys drinking beer together, and over-drinking, on any given evening….

https://youtu.be/ofSp-j1R4fw

https://youtu.be/ofSp-j1R4fw

Also, listening to Thai-Guys, in the countryside, from afar….sounds so very close to this Ack-Ack noise.  Thai women, their sounds, in all situations, I dearly love.  But…Thai-Guys?...

They leave MUCH to be desired.

What do you think?

Am I right?

Best regards,

Gamma

Note:  Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack….Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack….Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack…

They are even worse than Thailand’s roosters, in so many ways….

Don’t you think.....???

I know it's still a couple of hours before the clock strikes June 1, but I think you still deserve the award for the first Thai bashing topic of the month. What's next? Anyway, well done Globs!

This is NOT bashing of anyone.

As I did mention in the Topic, most guys sound this way, after a few dozen beers...out in the sticks....

Or, am I mistaken?

Hard for me to comment, Glamma. I don’t drink. I also don’t make a hobby of hanging out with drunk Thai guys out in the sticks. In fact, I don’t hang out in the sticks at all. I’m not even in Thailand right now, which further complicates my ability to conduct field research for you on this subject.

Maybe Georgeenta would be willing to hire himself out as an independent researcher and perform a statistical analysis for you. We all know how good he is at this stuff. For a fee, of course. Serious science doesn’t come cheap.

That said, I do speak Thai, so when I hear Thai people talking it generally sounds like a language I understand rather than the strange woodland grunts and extraterrestrial transmissions you seem to be describing.

Since you’ve chosen to settle in the North, you could always learn some Northern Thai. I don’t speak the Northern dialect myself, but I’ve never needed to because Central Thai is spoken pretty much everywhere by people who occasionally need to communicate with the rest of the country.

If your goal is specifically to decipher the conversations of drunk Thai guys deep in the northern countryside, then some regional language study may indeed be necessary. But I’m fairly confident they aren’t just sitting around making alien noises. They probably only do that when you’re nearby so they can reinforce your theory that they’re members of an undiscovered species and inspire your next fumbling forum post about the mysterious sounds of rural Thailand.

My working assumption is that they’re speaking a regional dialect, not attempting to make first contact with another galaxy.

You know, Sir....

Recently you have upped your game.

And so, I have committed to never adding you to my Ignore List....never again.

But, let us be clear:

a. When one is situated far enough from the drunken-fools, then one hears only Ack, Ack, Ack....and ACK.....!

b. Perhaps, if I were sitting together with them, at table, then I could understand what they are yelling about.

c. But, there is a distance at which one hears nothing intelligible, but only noise.....

Ack-ACK....to YOU....Sir.....

IMHO....it is the say, the world over.....

=============

I am, Sir, most pleased to hear you admit that you do not drink alcohol.

Drinking alcohol is a fool's game.

Why cloud the brain, unless absolutely necessary.

You are....Sir....a Lucky Duck for choosing to NOT drink alcohol.......and....I have one last thing to add here, for you....the TRUE Lucky Duck.....

QUACK

Don't worry about keeping me on the ignore list. Others have promised to have done so too and still reply to my posts anyway. Obsessed I guess. So disappointing. I am so glad we are back on the Thai bashing discourse you started though. I was worried we were drifting too far off topic.

So, now that you’ve established that all Thai men who happen to be drinking out in the countryside are drunken fools, I’m wondering what other lowest common denominators we can use to keep this narrative moving along.

What about the Thai guys who ride motorcycles without helmets? Fools too, obviously, just a different subspecies. Or what about the Thai train drivers on meth who plow into city buses? And the Thai crane operators who drop cranes onto passing vehicles? Fools as well, or are those the rocket scientists of the bunch?

As for drinking, yep, not for me. Despite my many faults, alcohol, poor diet, lack of exercise, and physical neglect are not among them. I’d like to stick around long enough to watch the Yanks start World War III, and then see China finish the job.

You are a complete enigma, for sure......

For example:

a. I would have said, judging your SYNTAX, you are either from Scotland or Ireland.

b. However, I have never known a REAL MAN from Scotland or Ireland who could not stand a TIPPLE, or two, now and again.

c. Or, perhaps, you often resort to using some AI to clean up your text in the messages you post?

d. I have, really, no idea.

e. But, suffice to say, I will never put you, as I once temporarily did, on my ignore list.....

This is all that I am able to promise you.

Note: Just curious, though.....

Have you ever been to Tipperary?

I would like to add one thing:

It has been my experience that when Irish-Guys and Scottish-Guys become inebriated....

They tend to....

a. Speak more clearly

b. Make more sense

c. And, their English grammar and sense of irony improves.....

IMMEASURABLY

I know this is true, in fact.

This is why I like to hang out with Irish-Guys and Scottish-Guys....

They, invariably, are never tiresome.

And, they, as the night proceeds, have one rolling on the floor with mirth.

Why can't Thai-Guys be more like Irish-Guys......

What happened to Enigma is very sad. I loved their music very much. Some of the most inspiring and sophisticated music of their time. A shame they didn't make more before it all fell apart. One of the best electric guitar solos of all time occurred in one of their lesser known tracks titled "I Love You... I'll Kill You"

I also saw a recent video somebody posted on YT which explained how the relationship between the German couple behind the music arrangement descended into chaos and despair and eventually caused the collapse of their band. All very sad. Michael Cretu is a musical genius though. Romanian actually, but grew up in Germany and married a German woman.

Why? Are you superior to them? Ethnocentric? Don't like the local "brown" people?

Try sitting down with them, having a beer, and talking with them. It would open up your horizons and make you new friends.

Dude - your innate racism is showing. Really - your post is explicitly racist in nature. You should rein that in imho.

you could stop being a climate refugee and go back to blighty.

Shut up and go home. You are in their space, deal with it.

Race is an outdated concept.

Virtue signal much? You make mountains out of molehills, you should rein that in. And in my opinion, any adult using the word 'dude' cannot be taken seriously.

He stays in his bedsit with the air con blasting at 16 degrees!

OP's chattering sound effects are completely unrecognizable. Were you not wearing your glasses at the time and perhaps mistook a troop of macaques for a drinking circle? A lot of times these guys get so smashed they seem to sit mostly in silence making murmured small talk, punctuated by the occasional oh! ho!', arai?, huey!, 'euu', bursts of giggling and cackling, finger waving, topped off by the end-of-the-night group sing-a-long before everyone goes home.

Thai guys cannot be like Irish guys for one very good reason, they are THAI not Irish.

I lived in the countryside for 6 years before.I speak thai well and Khmer too.I have sat down with thais drinking together.I have never ever heard ur description when thais sit together.

That said when the thai girls meet and drinking together its gossip and sometimes its like a chicken farm.

Yeah, jokes where every other word uttered in their narration is the "F" one really are hilariously funny, aren't they?🤬

I stopped using curse words a long time ago.

The owners of TV strongly advised me against it.

I always comply with the rules, around here.

Funeral today, plenty of Thai guys drinking lao khao. They are a bit loud but it is a fitting farewell to a lifelong friend.
