webfact Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Je parle Thai: Parisian vendor wows Thai tourists with impressive Thai talk (VIDEO) By Coconuts Bangkok Thai people are loving this French vendor who chats and sells souvenirs to tourists by speaking Thai like a total boss. A video circulating in social media shows a street vendor at the Eiffel Tower speaking Thai. The man sells replicas of the iconic Parisian tower in various sizes and entertains Thai customers with smooth talk and bargaining. “I’m selling them cheap!” he said in Thai. “The small ones. The big ones! The big ones are EUR15. The small ones are EUR5, and these are EUR3 each!” Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2017/01/05/je-parle-thai-parisian-vendor-wows-thai-tourists-impressive-thai-talk-video -- © Copyright Coconuts Bangkok 2017-01-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

than Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I want to warn the next tourists that go to Paris to be wary of this type of individual. 1 / Selling in the capital is prohibited; 2 / complaints for theft and rip-off are numerous against these individuals. For any problems call the Prefecture of Police of Paris: 17 or report to our colleagues on patrols in the tourist areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantSpell Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Totally not allowed to sell those in Paris in a towel :) And for the record, the small ones are EUR1... Scammer LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Paris is full of these pesky ratbags. They network by mobile phone and know when the authorities are coming. The sale items, not just crap like this but many things including handbags, are scooped up and they are gone in a flash...onto the metro. The police don't have a hope of catching them.

They are overseas provinces, or something like that. Used for bomb testing, shooting rockets into space and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However his parents may have come from there while it was a colonie or anything...does not change the fact that this thread which was a funny light one, turns, one more time, into a nauseous rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quebec joual is looked down upon by the Parisans. As you know ,the Quebecois pur laine are mostly descended from France's poor and consisted in large part of France's undesirables. It's women were drawn from the prostitutes. Not very different from Australia's origins with the exception that the French sent women, whereas the English being English were content with other males.
