Happy Grumpy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Put on fake, child-like voices through-out normal everyday interactions? It's strange, and I can't recall observing it in any other of the many countries I've lived in or even traveled in.

SoiBiker Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Because they speak a tonal language, which often involves using a pitch higher than your natural speaking voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoiBiker Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 "Put on fake, child-like voices" "they speak a tonal language, which often involves using a pitch higher than your natural speaking voice." So why am I wrong? The only difference appears to be the more derogatory way in which you're referring to their way of speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Never encountered such a thing. Unique to OP methinks. Do you speak very slowly and loudly in English to them? Maybe they think you're slightly retarded ........ If so, try speaking to them in Thai. Edited July 9, 2015 by MaeJoMTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Grumpy Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Do you speak very slowly and loudly in English to them? lol. Thais interacting with Thais. Take a look sometime. Learn Thai, and observe Thai male social interactions. Let's not feed the trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooHaa Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I should have realised you were just indulging in a bit of anti-Thai trolling rather than actually asking a question. but he cant be trolling, he accused me of it first. given how very common this is, perhaps the op could indulge us with an example?

Seastallion Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 i cant recall one example if this. you must be "special". The clue is his words here, "I would not recommend it, but turn on any Thai TV channel." i too can't recall any instance of "fake, child-like" voices, except on TV and usually accompanied by boings and honks.

mmh8 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) no its not anything to do with ladyboys. try watching the soap operas or any sensible thai tv. you will see slapstick style comedy that would be considered infantile anywhere other than former british colonies. you see that slap stick stuff with the funny voices, that is what these people imitate. so there you go, when you see the4 slapstick happen you hear it too with comedy voices. they also do a big line revenge so if you upset mr thai in his car by overtaking while he is on the phone, don't be surprised to find him skidding to a halt in front of you , pulling a gun and shouting at you in full drama mode of the good guy on thai soap opera getting his revenge on the bad guy edited because formatting don't work Edited July 10, 2015 by mmh8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraday Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Many of your posts seem anti Thai; indeed in two recent ones you make a reference to: 'the thai', as if you consider yourself to be a Colonial. Perhaps you're just another inadequate troll, I really don't know. But you appear somewhat immature, in my opinion. And no, I haven't heard any thai men speaking this way.

pgrahmm Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Do you live near the helium distributorship? Never noticed it in presumably straight/male attired Thai men..... Seen some flamers that used falsetto - maybe as a way to signal each other ......maybe they are taking a fancy to you.......better check your mannerisms.......

HG is a wannabe troll trying to reinvent himself. All of his Thai-bashing threads (read all of his threads) are so obviously bogus and made-up. He's a miserable sort who wants others to be just as miserable. Sadly, there are many like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
