On the dcothailand website there is a book called- Have Fun with Thai Proverbs. I've skimmed through the blurb about the book there's a few funny proverbs in there. One that comes to mind -
Mai pen sa po lot - This is not pineapple.
Means food doesn't taste good also could be used in a wider context I think to mean something isn't good.

monsterman

Not wanting to sound like a whinge here but using insults like Yed Mair could get you seriuosly hurt or possibly killed.

I know many lao/issan derogatory insults but best never to use them and try to forget knowing them, one time a girl in phuket was taking the piss out of me calling me an english wanker, I very stupidly responded with something very insulting to Issan ladies 'E-sandan', my gf of the time and all her bar mates had to talk her down for a very long time.

My gf told me later said she told this girl I was just ignorant farang and didn't know what I was saying, but this girl had told her at while still in a rage that she wanted to knife me and was not messing about.

Never repeat this stuff to thai's you do not know extremely well.

[soi 2]

Here's a link for some Issan phrases. Seeing as how most the bg's are apparently from this region. You might get a few raised eyebrows though hopefully not slaps coming out with some of these.

Question for butterfly blonde, what does E-sandan actually mean ? Cheers.

I never actually got to find out but a few Thai women have told me it's really bad, perhaps worse than some others.

E' for female and Buk' for male are in a way, a way of bellitling someone, almost the opoposite of respectful versions for people older and (perhaps) higher status, like Pee + Ay

So if a ladies names was Mee, you might say Pee Mee which would be respectful, E' Mee would not.
A man called be called Pap, becomes Ay'Pap but not good to say buk instead of Ay.
So a few insults revolve around using Buk & E' before the actual insult.

E' parrrp (or spell pawp)= kind of similar to saying fucking idiot
Buk' parrrp - male version of above

Thai's sometimes use the 2 above in jest, you will sometimes hear these appear in live stage acts involving Katoeys, like at a Morlam concert. It might be ok to let your thai friends know that you are aware of them but not good to speak them in public.

Other than those using Buk & E', some of my thai friends would laugh to hear me say 'mar see mair mung'

Which means 'your mother fucks dogs'

[liveinchina]

na hee.. pussy face
kei neel.. your cheap.. literally sticky shit
Kei lie.. you have the runs..
maa cie ma.. your mother fucks for dogs
kin hee.. eat pussy
kin quay.. eat a dick
put thai di.. speak thai well..
cun me mia cun thai.. do you have a thai wife
cun me luck.. do you have a kid
just a few more..

e sandan I must find out what that means it sound really useful if it upsets cunts that badly , I hope it applies to Thai men as well, great possibilities here.

I will ask wife and mia noi what it means and report back.

monsterman

[monsterman]

Ok asked the wife and Mia noi about Esandan its not a thai word its lao Issan dialect and means u are not a good woman with bad thoughts for other people , it is not applicable to men as it means a bitchy nagging woman.

monsterman

[butterflyblonde]

Esandan its not a thai word its lao Issan dialect and means u are not a good woman with bad thoughts for other people , it is not applicable to men as it means a bitchy nagging woman.

monsterman

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's lao dialect before, was taught many of these things by Issan girls on my first trip.

[monsterman]

I still need to find something to say that really upsets Thai men ,something really insulting , any ideas i wanna level the score with these pricks bigtime.

monsterman

[mack]

Monster, hold off on learning any special phrases for the Thai men for awhile, I'd like to meet you first and share a few beers! :boxing: :rip:

[monsterman]

Its the only way to get any respect from Thais , be hard with em , any sign of weakness and they will despise u ,recently some decent thai men have told me this fact , give an inch an the pillocks will take a yard , give em nothing and make em earn your respect , hate them with a passion until they respect u.

Would it not be easier to carry a Samuri sword around with you ? They might get the message. :donatello:

[monsterman]

yeah thats a good idea , i always carry a pepper spray, stun gun and knife anyway , maybe a large hammer would be more fun ,bash their knee caps so they cant run then flatten their dicks , mnnn now u have got me thinking .

monsterman

[butterflyblonde]

I might have just the very thing you need.

[monsterman]

Thats cool ,butterfly blonde and great for a bit of S&M I know a couple of Soi6 who might enjoy that.

Translation, the exchange rate for money no good.

[LocalYokul]

to learn Thai properly IMHO you need to learn the characters

one of the best sites I've found is :

Thai Language Dictionary (http://www.thai-language.com/dict)

[Freak]

Hong is useful
hong nam - water room/toilet
hong - room
Baan - home/house
So if you ask a girl where her house is she will say her home town, Roiet or something.
But if you ask where her room is you will get a nearby soi.

[soi 2]

phom sa ma tamalai dai ? What can I do ?

[soi 2]

Hok pat - shut up

Just for a bit of variety from saying sowow.

:cheers:

[tommiecoughlin]

"I joke you!"....usually means a Thai person is pulling yer leg.:thumbsup:

[soi 2]

Khun lhum phom laew law khap ? You forget me ?

(I love talking their own shit right back at them dancing)

[yusamile]

It's all GOHOK :kneel:

Maybe all Gohok to you, but to some of us its Kwaam sat jing . Khao jai mai ?

[yusamile]

Mai Pen Rai :nosepick:

Hu flung dung !:no2:

[soi 2]

Na buht.

Buht sounds like boot with a slight rising tone. Means - never smile.

[gonzo]

Na buht.

Buht sounds like boot with a slight rising tone. Means - never smile.

As opposed to 'Nah but' which means 'no' in south wales.

[Capt Magoo]

As opposed to 'Nah but' which means 'no' in south wales.

Whereas "Baaaah Nut" is a Welshman?? :sheepshag:

[soi 2]

Bai Daibon - Where you go after ?

See gam bon - I want to fuck you.

[gonzo]

Bah kam - Sex mad

[soi 2]

Does anyone know the Thai for 'long time' and 'short time' ?

(Time to start learning new phrases to wow the locals next year !)

:cheers:

[ruhorny]

Boom for st Boom Boom for lt.:Angelmex:

[elway69]

Bai Daibon - Where you go after ?

See gam bon - I want to fuck you.

Just tried see gam bon on the bird.....................blank stare.:helpsmilie:

[elway69]

Bah kam - Sex mad

This works.

[elway69]

falang lok jit.

falang want sex too mutt.

khun tam ngaan alai=what you work??

[soi 2]

Just tried see gam bon on the bird.....................blank stare.:helpsmilie:

The 'see gam bon' phrase was from a girl from Udon Thani, so its probably Lao. It seemed quite well understood when I tried it. But one or two girls said it was a bad phrase, maybe not very polite. Try it on another girl and see how you get on. :cheers:

Hi
This site has been mentioned on the thread
http://www.thai-language.com/default.aspx.

Anybody who is currently using it, can you get the sound to work?
I click on the loudspeaker icon and don`t get any result.
Computer sound works OK on youtube etc.
Wondering if it`s the site or me? :help:

Its a very helpful site and i use it often. If your using FF you may need to enable a FF plugin for Windows Media Playa . Top o the page...tools...add ons... plugins,....look for Microsoft Media Player Plugin for Fire Fox. If it aint there you may need it.

In IE A pop up may appear at the top of the page asking for permission to use an Active X control,...allow and off you go. Depends on what browser and what version etc etc.

Also half way down the page on the left, near the F.A.Q , you will see "site settings ", this will had some audio tips.

[soi 2]

Even though I'm stuck 6,000 miles away from Thailand. The quest for knowledge goes on ! I was chatting to a girl on msn who was telling me that you can say -

chai mai ? isn't that right

In the two following ways as well -

chai pa ?

chai dee ?

No doubt this will involve saying each phrase three of four times with varying tones and emphasising different parts of them before being understood. Shes from BKK so this isn't some Issan/ Laos chat in case you wondered. :cheers:

[izifaddag]

zapalot - pineapple

[Chriso]

Jing Jing - true

[tommiecoughlin]

"cha ching"....words every bar girl utters when Winton walks in New Plaza.

[gonzo]

Decided it was time to brush up on my Thai so here's a couple of phrases...

Bah lae! - That's crazy!

Poot-len chai mai? - You're joking?

Tham-mai ja mai la? - Why not?

Mai dai rawk - No way

Mai son-jai rawk - I don't care

Doo cheuy cheuy - I'm just looking

Pom gaw khit baep nan - I guess so

Chahng man thuh -Forget it

Ao leuy - Go ahead

[soi 2]

I was chatting to a girl from Udon Thani and picked up a phrase that seems to get a laugh from her.

Pai sai - where you go ? (same as bpenagi in Thai)

Pai buhn - over there.

Next time you're walking past a beer bar and they give it, hey sexy man where you go ? Bpenagi ?

Just keep walking and point ahead - pai buhn ! Watch their jaws drop. You can sa-peak Lao ?

[soi 2]

Last year the girl band Blueberry had a hit with this song

K495My5HA2I

Chi Mi (Right?) ชิมิ

Instead of saying - chai mai ? right ? Say - chi mi, chi mi ? Always gets a laugh.
