I've never needed to learn how to count to ten in Thai.   Why bother? Anybody that wants my money knows how to speak English.

dont be sarcastic Alf it don`t suit you

As previously mentioned the number '5' in Thai is pronounced as "HA", so 555 is HAHAHA.   I must admit it's not quite the question I'd expect from someone who's been on this board since 2004 and has

Thought i'd help you out with that sentence. RED indicates what you should have typed.

Exactly. Surely curiosity would get the better of you? I know the Thais are secretive about their language, but please, counting to ten? Asking for a drink? The bill? Asking someone their name? Disrespectful and arrogant not to know the basics in my opinion. I'd learnt that sort of stuff by then end of my first trip.

 

I thought the only phrases you needed to know were

 

A large beer and my friend will pay ---

Where is the bathroom ---

Is your daughter 18 ---

Absolutely. The second thing: The difference between "boys" and "girls" in writing.

Waffling a bit Joe?

Back to counting.......

I thought I was making great strides when I didn't have to count through the Thai numbers with my fingers to get to the one I wanted. :thumbup

I seemed to stop learning at that milestone.

Heh. You call that a go, you thin-skinned git?

 

But I promise to try to remember your sensitivity. "Try".
