As far as I know,

lok ling - baby monkey

ling toa lek - small bodied monkey

Ling noi - Not sure if you can use this

dek ling - monkey child

You'll have to wait for one of the experts for the definitive answer

but don't try and use it as a term of affection as it is done in English, it won't translate. (eg, thats so cute you little monkey you...)

As in baby monkey......look ling ลุก ลิง ......or as in small bodied ling nawy (noi) ลิง น้อย (sorry about the small Thai font.).

As  in  baby  monkey......look  ling    ลุก  ลิง ......or  as  in  small  bodied  ling  nawy (noi)  ลิง  น้อย  (sorry  about  the  small  Thai  font.).

On a visit to Prasat Phnom Rung, My ex Sis In Law and her friend were fooling around a bit....the Thais called them Dek Ling....Hope that helps

[Firefoxx]

loog ling=a baby monkey

ling tua lek=a small monkey (can use lek lek)

ling noi=a small monkey, can only be used in certain phrases, ling tua noi (or noi noi) is more appropriate

dek ling=a monkey-like child (I think you were aiming for ling dek)

The appropriate word depends on the context. What's the phrase?

[skunkie]

Its, no phrase, i only want to know how the correct way to say, and i thanks for all you give me.

I guess the one i was thinking about is ling tua lek - ลิงตัวเล็ก

The small money as in body!

As  in  baby  monkey......look  ling    ลุก  ลิง ......or  as  in  small  bodied  ling  nawy (noi)  ลิง  น้อย  (sorry  about  the  small  Thai  font.).

You can make the font size bigger by clicking on the "size" drop-down button and hitting "large" or "largest".

First, type the phrase or word in Thai. Then, highlight the word or phrase and click the arrow to the right of SIZE, then pick Largest in the list. This should do the trick.

Which version of IE are you using? If it works for 6.0, you must have different settings to me! Fonts not enlarging is one of the unsolved problems at the forum help desk.

.......

girls around the bars.........to Farang guys......

"Hello Dek Ling (NOT hello darling)....please come inside.."

never heard?

I usually than speak to them:

"WHAT ARE YOU CALLING ME......?

I WILL MAKE YOU: TOPSO-LOPSO-LAI" (slap you left and right in the face....) than they all start laughing and find it very amusing

listen carefully next time!

a Thai speaking friend of mine told me it's called like 'the .ss of a Monkey'...

so beware of the monkey-callers

The term they usually use is Nah Ling.....monkey face.......said quickly it sounds more like "darling" then dek ling does.

regards the original question the term you use depends on the circumstance....if you were looking at a monkey in the zoo then ling tua lek would be ok....If you saying little monkey as a term of endearment to a cheeky young child then dek ling would be more appropriate.
