can anyone think of a simillar english expression?

I think it means " a helluva lot" or "too much".

Maybe "over the top".

What about "Mai Bok" ?, i have a friend that use it a lot but i only have a vague understanding of it

do you mean 'mai bork', if so thats just 'don't say it', or 'don't speak about it'

BTW, i realize its bad that we are not writing thai words in thai!

thanks, that sounds about right to me.

sometimes i wonder why i even bother learning thai when everyone around me speaks Lao, and i live in Phuket!
