Sign Needed

[Merlin]

Hi all,

after three knocks on my door already today [ the first one at 9AM...] I want to put a sign on the door:

Would some please be kind enough to translate this into Thai for me?

"IF YOU ARE SELLING OR ADVERTISING SOMETHING, DO NOT KNOCK ON THIS DOOR. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME."

I'll copy'n'paste it into word, print it and laminate it and put it on the door.

Thanks a lot, in advance...

You might try..

Khon Kai....Harm khow...............Person sell....keep out....but I would be wary about putting up a sign like that.....I think it would be considered rude in a small village enviroment....when the ladies come around selling foodstuffs in a village it is almost a social thing and also they are just trying to make a pittance....what annoys me is the guys that come around in the trucks selling watermelon etc... with the PA system blaring at 6am....ditto the election trucks.

this is hardly a small village - it's Pattaya!

And they were selling stuff from the likes of Tesco etc - some kinds of gadgets that I didn't need to be woken up to decide I don't need...

Well in that case put a sign up....

Bet you they ignore it though...."I not think you mean me ???"

The only sign that will work should read

" Mai Mee Stang "

Sleep tight.

Many of the bars in Pattaya have signs saying that it's forbidden to sell stuff inside. It still doesn't stop the hawkers....

However, if you are intent on putting up the sign then try:-

กรุณาอย่าเคาะประตูเพราะไม่ต้องการซื้ออะไรทั้งนั้น

ga-roo-na ya ko bra-dtoo pro mai dtong gahn seu arai tang-nan - Please don't knock the door. I don't need to buy anything.

Could try "Bhai hay pon,Krup"........but not very polite.

How about;

"IF I DON'T KNOW YOU, YOU WILL BE SHOT, SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN"

with a skull and cross bones above the letters.

Could someone translate that please.

Ajarn, what does yours say in Ingrish?
