The Gentleman Scamp Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Some of us speak Thai, some of us do not, I'm sort of in the middle and came up with this idea to teach and learn at the same time, phrases which could come in handy, and ones that may not nesscessarily be found in a phrasebook. I'll start off with... "Kaa phom mai hak khrap" - "My legs are not broken, thanks" Said with a smile, this is one for persistant tuk-tuk drivers. "Mai yaac norn kap pooying/poo chai/katoey khrap" - "I don't want to sleep with a lady/man/ladyman tonight thanks" Until I remember the Thai word for 'anyone', this is a useful one for persistant tuk-tuk drivers, hookers. "Pom mai-chai nac tong teeaw khrap" - "I am not a tourist". "Hoo nuak loar wah?!" - "Are you f*****g deaf?!" Not advisable for strangers. "Maiow khrap, pom mai soo bulee keaw khrap, soo bulee keaw mai dee, a-suchi noi long". - "No thanks, I don't smoke menthol fags, menthol fags no good, they lower your sperm production". "Maiow khrap, shop pom howa-kalog mai hac khrap" - "No thanks mate, I like my skull intact". For motorcycle taxi drivers. Any new stuff you can teach me would be welcomed.

londonguy Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Ok so apparently my girlfriend said in Thai " I slap your face" I would like to know what it is in Thai so I can duck next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig15 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Gentleman scamp – it is not necessary to use the pronoun “Phom” all the time as we would use “I” in English. Just leave it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gentleman Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Ok so apparently my girlfriend said in Thai " I slap your face" I would like to know what it is in Thai so I can duck next time Although it doesnt mean to slap your face - my guess is this is what she said. Seelop Seelop sa - leye - I know how to say it, but writing it is another thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig15 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 My understanding of this is that it means more like startled or surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leave it out. I never was entirely sure about the "Phom" and got into a habit of just using it to be on the safe side. Thakyou for the confirmation.

Mig15 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I just asked my colleague and she said Saloop Salie means to faint with surprise. This makes sense to me as it is how my girlfriend has used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonguy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 " Seelop Seelop sa - leye" no it wasnt that it sounded like "topya ta" but as I had a few beers at the time I cant remember> Could this why she slapped me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Yak Die Yawn Neee = "I want you now" Kit Ting Ka (Krap) = "I miss you" few phrases off the top of me head!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastender Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I found a wonderful phrase book with some of the less common, but useful phrases, aimed at men communicating with 'working' girls, such as; You're stupid and uneducated. How much is your dowry? Can I haggle? Excuse me while I go out and rob a bank to pay that. etc etc And some for the women; Our family buffalo is dead. My parents have broken all their legs. etc etc I wish I could remember more. The book is called 'Bar Guide' and I got it from Asia Books in the WTC. P.S. I don't want to offend anyone with this post, I just found the choice of phrases ammusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig15 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Some of those phrases don’t seem too useful!!?? But I will look out for that phrasebook sounds like a laugh. Ron chip ie! Its bloody hot!

(Lao) Mig, be very careful with that phrase mate, it can get you killed and is punishable by Thai law - dont use it as a joke to your Thai friends. You also do not have to put the mung on the end. somboon bep - perfect! bra-mun - around abouts sammy - husband ma dum - black dog (if you listen to some service people in the ugly areas of Thailand, instead of useing Madam for a farang woman, they use this - listen for it, you will be surprised.) southern Thai - foreigner - pung (farang) delicious - roy jung (aroy mark) no problem - mai pluer (mai pen rai) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig15 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 No I would never use any of these phrases! Just a laugh and useful to know if they are said to me! Didn’t know about the law bit – but that does not surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darling, I love you a lot today, you are super beautiful. Pom mai mee khun, pom mai me chivit. If I dont have you, I have no life ------ Khun by tumnarn lor? Are you going to work.

sbk Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Ki Baht ka/kap? How much? (Want to sound like a tourist? Ask 'Rahkah towrai ka/kap'). also, you don't need the Pom/Chan. I have noticed a strange proclivity to mention oneself in the third person, by one's own name. ie: 'sbk ja pai talaht' (SBK will go to the market) And the most important phrase to learn in any language for a woman: Hong nam you teenai, ka?
