"Bpak wan" won't be in most dictionaries, because it's not a word, it's more of an idiom (just as you won't find "silver-tounged" in most English dictionaries). Thai contains a huge number of compound nouns, e.g. "jai ---" "kee ---", which in some cases makes it easier to learn. I consider those worthy of dicitionary entries and good dictionaries do contain most of the common ones (but, just like German, it would probably be impossible to list them all as the permutations are endless).
seubeu, I'm not sure what you mean by "words of betrayal." But "bpak wan" is certainly not just bargirl slang, it can be used by all classes (although it would probably be inappropriate in many cases, e.g. you wouldn't say that to the queen after she complimented you!).

Chompoo, in the case of 'bpak wan', I think it's because that's such a common thing to hear in a bar. ŬThe dictionary I am using is a nice one, it has English-Thai-transliterated Thai, so three sections, but it's hardly comprehensive. ŬI like having the Thai script plus the English script to fall back on.

damn I'd even be called "bpak wan" or "sweet mouth" at home... I guess I was sayin all the right things...or all the wrong...
I do observe "bpak wan" in use with TGs in general not just confined to 'bar girl lingo'
Or again maybe i'm saying all the right things again. he.

An amusing "bpak wahn" true story. Was upcountry eating at my TGF's farmhouse, whole family sitting around eating, laughing, drinking, when her father's sister comes in. First time I meet her. She sits down across from me, a tall Isaan beauty, and I don't know who she is. So my TGF says something to me that I didn't quite catch as an introduction. Well, I figure it's my TGF's cousin or something, 'cause she doesn't look very old, certainly not as sun-dried as some of the other ladies in waiting. So when I ask for clarification (in English), my TGF finally makes me understand it's another aunt. I'm astonished, this puts her at late 30's, early 40's, so I blurt out in English (no one there speaks any English), "You're kidding! I thought she was your cousin ... looks same, same age as you!"
Well, with that remark, my TGF laughs uncontrollably and shouts out "bpak wahn!" Everyone looks at her, and she rattles off for a moment in Isaan. Everyone then starts busting up, leaving me and her aunt a tad bit embarrassed. But I could tell by the looks I got later during the meal that her auntie was truly flattered.

jagssb, - these phrases are Thai rather than issarn or lao, however along with the bahk warn, " DAR Warn" also goes down well, simple translation of course sweet eye, but probably taken more in the context of the " come to bed eyes"" - I even sometimes mention it to a shop assistant or such, always get the smile, and in fact the polite ones even give you the little "wai" for paying them a compliment ! -

TPE is right that 'bahk wan' is straight up thai. Im my cause the particular girl that called me it all the time for fun was from Chiang Mai. Wouldnt 'dtaa wan' technically translate: sweet eyes?
