"I hope you are joking...
The correctly placed mannerisms will take you far !!"
LY, I understand your point but really, the only way I behave within the Thai society is as like a well educated western guy....good manners from the old continent!
I won't become integrated in the society (I don't even want to) but I'm sure I'll always have a good feedback from it....

Surapong,
Good to see you back....
LY,
You are right - if someone wais you, you will come to no harm if you 'wai' back. However, to 'wai' anyone (although it might amuse some people) can also cause embarrassment.
As for using thai - I think that any knowledge of thai (even in the crudest of accent) is generally appreciated by the majority of thais (the main exception being to use poor thai with a thai who speaks fluent english).

Ah, back to the old verities: more of dr love’s one-note dribbling about my dictionary -- and his refusal to answer to the consequences of his own absurd assertions.
Today, typically, I correct one of the dr’s myriad translation inaccuracies off the top of my head (which even marginal speaker of thai doesn’t know the term “mai mee ma-ri-aht”?) and immediately the poor old chump starts simpering about “written dictionary thai”. Why he persists in this nonsense is beyond anyone’s ken but his.
The truly funny thing, though, is that after more than a year of dr love berating me for knowing what a dictionary is and how to use it when the (infrequent) need arises -- and boasting that he doesn’t even own one himself -- he turns around and starts his own thread for posting advice on which dictionary he feels safe in recommending. One can find his (specious) posts on that subject here:
http://bkkx.com/cgi-bin/forum/topic.cgi?forum=17&topic=126&start=0
And now he’s spreading lies that he’s met me. Sorry but, after he got so busy boasting about how he wanted a face-to-face with me a few months ago, and I told him I’d oblige, he tucked tail between legs (plenty of room there, what with his absence of balls) and went scurrying off in his typically cur-like manner. As I recall, that was immediately after a kind of concensus was reached, during our last thread-choking mano a mano, that my powers of writing, reasoning, and ridiculing were rather greater than his. No such encounter has ever transpired.
Doc, if you think we’ve met, please tell me when and where, and I’ll be happy to correct your misimpression. We’ll also work out some sort of code word or test question via private message, so that the next time you encounter this imposter -- or figment of your decidely limited imagination -- who you believe to be me, you can pierce the vanity of your own delusions. Until that time, please desist in spreading your horsepuckey with so small a trowel; it’ll only end up stuck on your shoe.

Well, at least I didn't back out because of fear to be banned....

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Can't really recall that, but I do remember that you said that if people believed in my posts (that is related to the Thai language, not to powers of writing, reasoning and ridiculing), that you would hand the microphone over to me and would back down. It seems you just can't seem to keep your mouth shut.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't recall that either. I am still here... the offer stills stands....
Several members believe, including myself, that another member used 'Sorapong' as a secondary nick. A fragment of the email I received from another member (protecting the innocent) :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Message title: reality!!
Hi there. How was your ***** adventure ? You know how much fun it is on a miserable day here, when I can take the piss out of those idiots who think there language skills are better than the Thai's. I will let Sorapong live a little longer before I really get stuck into them all and probably get banned, lol.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Sorapong, this email was not from your alter ego and a lie? Please enlighten us....
BTW Although your promise handing over the microphone and back down was a lie, welcome back again...

Abrak,
I am Thai. Actually I know what Graing-Jai means in Thai. I have this feeling all the time. But I do not know how to say it in English or to tell Foriegners that I am Graing-Jai.
So there you go, lets simplify this....
How to say it in English?
For example Thai conversaion:
A: Phom Lieang Kaw khun dai mai krap?
( Interpreted : Could I buy you a dinner? )
B: Mai pen rai kah, Chan "Graing-Jai"
( Interpreted : It's ok, I am ???...........???)
What?

I understood that this member, which I met, used 'Sorapong' as his secondary nick.
The same member also posts (in another thread) 'I thought I was logged in as Sorapong'.
Maybe I misunderstood..... if so, we didn't meet.

I was gonna say that I dont care what farangs think about what is clearly best for a Thai to describe, no matter how highly they rate their own lingusitic authority....
but....it appears that even Thais find it hard to describe in a different language....
There is no literal translation nor an easily comparable cultural equivalent.
so its all conjecture.....no point fighting about it boys.
