The_Eye_Of_Sauron Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 My Thai wife does them. Not very 'cryptic' but she does 'em !! 3 letter answers. Silly things really. Too many consonants for 't' or 'k' or 's' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo H Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Crossword puzzles, whistling and map reading are alien to Thai people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many consonants for 't' or 'k' or 's' <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I often see my TG dad doing much more difficult ones. He's quite good at them, also. I've also seen his friends working them too from time to time and didn't ever think that it was a rare sight?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ever see a Thai TV game show where you don't hear "Nung, Song, SaaaaaaMM!!? Or A Thai soap opera where you don't hear someone utter "Oi! Oi! Oi!" Or commentary on a football game where you don't hear "Oh Haaaaww! Mai Khow Pratuu!" when a player misses scoring. Or an Issan love ballad and not hear the word "khittueng" Or a Thai tv food advert and not hear the word "Aroi" (or in Japan..."Oishii") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gburns57au Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 They do have Thai crosswords.....usually just working off the root letter and some vowels ....the high and low vowels and the tonal marks arent used. Have even tried one my self.....in Pattaya the newspaper stand at the top of Soi Diamond sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Or an Issan love ballad and not hear the word "khittueng" The real Isarn ones say, 'Kit hot' Isarnese for miss something, usually their home, whilst working in Bangkok, also used a lot are 'thoraman'(torture), and 'gin lao khao'(drink rice whisky), and 'kee mao' (drunkard).

chuchok Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I can't blame people for not liking/doing xwords.If you asked me for a three letter word beginning with C, to describe a motor vehicle.I would give you the old "staring at a another universe' type of look.
