David, I think the meaning can vary- my heart's not in it, absent minded,not concentrating as in thinking about something else,

Not worth starting a new thread on so I hope David you don't mind me mentioning this, I noticed today after Michael Jackson's death the headline said Jackson ตายคาบ้าน it got me wondering if คา is always used in place of ที่ in a bad situation, ie shot to death in his car, I've seen คารถ , and of course there's the phrase caught red handed- คาหนังคาเขา

Anyone any thoughts on this?
