kewlclimbo Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 My wife said it says rough translation is ( Can I call you. Is it ok ) Hope this helps thanks so much for answering. I put it in google translate and it said "call to have sex" so getting really upset/worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The translation above is correct. Google translate is not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinpin Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 My Wife says it's just asking if it OK to call. could be a friend or anyone. Could be you are worrying too much or maybe not Time will tell. Relax and try not to read too much into it at this stage. If she is playing around it will become obvious sooner or later.

twinpin Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 And I thought Google was your friend. Certainly not in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 In Google's defence, the Thai is misspelled. ใหม should be ไหม. ใหม doesn't exist as a word. That said, Google translate is pretty dire for Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylon Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Alot of relationship problems could be caused by google translate, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickoffskiov Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) they are just being polite ใหม is a new thai slang word which broadly translated means "that low down sneaky conniving suspicious land stealing foreigner" previously this was just ฝรั่ง or farang but it became too widely understood by the subjects it was describing. hope this helps.

HeavyDrinker Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Never rely or use Google translate for Thai...refer to the old Monty Python Tourist Phrasebook sketch....(the ''My hovercraft is full of eels'' one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roel Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 land stealing? since when? you obviously havent read the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_National_Anthem Since foreigners cannot even BUY the land I think they have no change stealing it. Stealing land is done among the Thais. The rich steal from the poor, the successful from the desperate, as it always has been. No foreigners involved here.
