Bangkok's Cliques & Classes

[chanchao]

Found this question elsewhere where it's unlikely to ever be answered.. Still a tough question this:

> I'm looking for some Thai words to describe some of the quintessential Bangkok

> characters -- the art-school students, the Siam Square crowd, the bilinguals

> who hang out at Kuppa, etc. How do the Thais refer to the city's many cliques

> and classes?

I have absolutely no clue myself, but would very much like to get some insight..

Cheers,

Chanchao

Hope this helps:

the art-school students = dek ni thet or dek sin

the Siam Square = dek siam

the bilinguals who hang out at Kuppa = dek nork or some dek hi-so

Thanks! I think I get the theme and can come up with some more along those lines..

'nother word for bilinguals = dek inter (international kids)
