5tash Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i'm sure some of you are familiar with the thai reggae-style band job2do. there's a song on their 'no war' album titled 'ลายเคง'. i've tried looking it up in my dictionaries but to no avail. anyone have any ideas?job's from trang province, so it might possibly be southern slang.

tom yum goong Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 no idea if its southern Thai or not but i'm pretty sure its not central Thai. nice song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 From google, ลายเคง is southern thai meaning - to piss off someone/ grate on someone's nerves/ to destroy/ to annoy someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tash Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 just been speaking with some southern thai friends and they comfirm bambinA's suggestion. ลายเดง is southern thai for the central thai เกเร, quarrelsome, mischievous, roguish, naughty, to destroy. and in the context of job's song it means for someone to join a group of friends, and say something that destroys the conversation. ลาย ลาย ลาย ล้าย ลายเคง Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
