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!”

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

Well if you base a citizenship on color of the skin you live 100 years too late....one could say his family comes from a former french colonie and therefore is french national

Totally not allowed to sell those in Paris in a towel :)

 

And for the record, the small ones are EUR1...  Scammer LOL

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.

There is no such thing, nowadays, as French colonies, although they seem to be.

They are overseas provinces, or something like that.

Used for bomb testing, shooting rockets into space and so on.

Well I perfectly know there is no more french colonies. 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

Selling is prohibited and if you do nothing they will complain that you are lazy. You can never win. I hope they speak Thai at the prefecture.

he learned his Thai selling fake dildos on Suk Soi 5 and then transferred his linguistic skills to paris. A great example of the entrepreneurial spirit.

French police is just ridiculous like any police from anywhere in the world. No respect to them.

 

[pby92]

As French still live for a last year in Paris before retire in Thailand  I can say all vendors like him in tourist area are illegals aliens

You are in for a choque. 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.
