BaldPlumber Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Why is the OP being castigated for making the effort to talk Thai in Thailand? Maybe there's something wrong with my browser, but I can't hear his accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squarethecircle Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 "Seriously don't know why so many farang are so hung up on English accents from various nationalities" Nah please re-read post #29, OP is not referring to "Tinglish" (just English with some of the grammar of the native language transferred over, plus some of the sounds such as ch/sh and multisyllabic combinations seem difficult to pronounce) that would be dick-ish to make fun of, just like it is kind of insulting to suggest OP does not know Thai is a tonal language, and I ain't Thai-bashing as I've met too many Thais I respect to just bash 'em all. Oh one example I can think of of what OP is getting at is if you've ever heard some of these pig-headed newly rich snots from the PRC, a lot of them have a friggin' snotty obnoxious Mandarin/Cantonese, I think you can hear how annoying it is without knowing a word they are saying. Oh and I know some b*****s from home country that have a pretty obnoxious english, then there's Gloria from Modern Family. Maybe 10% of the english-speaking locals here I come across have this pig-headed speak, just curious if others have noticed or know other examples.
