maidu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thai person of influence: We really need to have a look at the Thai alphabet and knock out all those redundant sounds. Good one. I've been saying similar things for years. Unfortunately, alphabets, like weird cultural habits, get adjusted very slowly. Not only are there loads of redundancy letters (8 letters just for the 'p' sound alone), but there are at least 5 letters which are not used, except in very rare and old text. Thai wife of Farang: "My husband explained to me that unplugging the fan doesn't save electricity so I will leave it plugged in as not to annoy him." Thai wife: "I won't leave the fan on for hours while we're away, as I realize it doesn't cool the room, but rather just sucks electricity." Thai wife: "I will wait until my husband leaves the room - before I sweep the floor, particularly if he's eating a meal. The swirling dust probably aggravates his sinuses." Thai parents: "Kids, You're allowed 1 hour of TV in the evening if you've already done your homework. And when you're watching TV, turn off the sound for the advertisements." Thai parents: "I realize grown men dressing like women and shrieking on TV shows can be funny sometimes, but I won't allow it any more in this house. It gets overdone. Instead, you're allowed to watch a nature or science show on one of the farang stations, or nothing. Take your choice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thai chef: "I wonder if there's a way to make rice more interesting than just white and essentially flavorless? I've heard that Muslims know how to make a type of yellow rice which has a lovely subtle flavor. But just as dogs were made to bark, and there's nothing us Thais can do about that, so too; Thai rice was made to be plain and white and devoid of flavor." Thai chef: "I wonder if I can cook and serve an egg without gobs of oil and adding heaps of flavor enhancement and MSG to it. Indeed, I wonder if any Thai knows what a cooked egg tastes like by itself." Thai chef: "Why do farang like raw vegetables in salad? I was brought up to believe that vegetables are rarely eaten raw (and only in tiny amounts), but must always be overcooked, over-spiced, and smothered in sauces. Isn't that the only way to prepare vegetables?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanePashen Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Russian Tourist: When some random stranger approachs me and smiles, I will smile back, because even though we don't speak a common language, it's a sign of goodwill and respect. I may even slightly nod my head as a sign of acknowledgment. No more will I stare blankly at strangers in a lift, looking through them as if they don't exist.
