learning the thai language
Re: learning the thai language
There are other places in Thailand that close on วันพุธ.......not all, but many. Sort of akin to only some Christians not eating meat on Fridays (remember those days?!), only, in this case, related to Thai beliefs. Anyone want to take a stab?

Barbers shops.
Re: learning the thai language
On the way back from the US Embassy visit in KK yesterday, I stopped by my hands-down favorite grilled chicken place........Wanna's Kaoswankwang Grilled Chicken. The place has been in business for ages.....and their chicken, somptom, or pork lahb never disappoints.
While there, I snapped a photo of their operating hours........Tues-Sun, with an unusual twist. Any takers?
Second, that nasty ฤ near the end of the word นักขัตฤกษ์ Anyone want to take a stab at how the last syllable of that word is pronounced?

Re: learning the thai language
Try Google Translate and the 'listen' button. I used it other day to look up 'no brain'. Now, when would I possibly have cause to use that in Thailand?

Re: learning the thai language
Searching for reason #1979......searching......then, bingo! Right in front of me.
ท่อตัน ส้วนตัน 042-221-230. I called to confirm and the lady gave me a second number as well.....042-181-614. I took this photo near the airport, but the lady said they're based near BoBae. Apparently, they do jobs around the city. Looked like a sizeable motor in the back of the man's cart.
I'm guessing his prices are a good bit less than the average costs in Texas between $131 and $290
A little Thai goes a long way.

Re: learning the thai language
Yes, in my 21 years here, this is the first time I've seen a Thai Roto-Rooter! And that's one of those periodic problems that expats find themselves facing in Thailand. Only problem is, you won't find Roto-Rooter in the yellow pages!
ท่อตัน ส้วมตัน Clogged pipes, clogged toilet

Re: learning the thai language
I'm pretty sure I posted this some time back.......but it's worth another shot.
The driver in front of you is driving erratically, no blinkers, enters the roundabouts without following the rules of the road, driving way below the speed limit........what to do?
If the sticker on the back of the vehicle read: Beware of drunk driver......you'd keep your distance.
or if the sticker said: I got my license without taking driving lessons.......you'd keep your distance.

A preemptive apology? ขออภัย มือใหม่
Think I’d keep my distance.

UFF DA!
Re: learning the thai language
The number of western words that infiltrate the local language continues to surprise me. In many cases, a ์ gives a hint that the word is of western origin. In this case, the ์ is used as if the 2 words are one.

Re: learning the thai language
I have just used the guys in parrot's photo to rectify a a major blockage in the shower and washbasin they were here for 45 minutes fixed the problem and left no mess 600 baht I am happy.
Re: learning the thai language
Thanks for the feedback. I'll put a check mark next to reason #1979....validated. 600 baht sounds like a good deal for a 'dirty job' sort of problem!
Re: learning the thai language
Thanks indeed
Usually I am told how useless my efforts to master the Thai language are.
