I don't think any of us speak Thai on this Forum
Really...sure...e lee baw...jing jing na khap
Normally, I never speak English in Thailand, which leaves me the choice of trying to communicate in fairly good Thai or not so good French. Usually, my choice is Thai, and so far it seems to serve me well even though I am not fluent.
However, I must admit that when briefly attending a night market meeting my conversations with Saint, LA and Big Wave Dave were in English, but I spoke Thai and Lao with two of the wives.
I can read and write Thai too, and speak some Lao/Issan and Cantonese.
There are some others who know Thai on this forum.
On the other hand, you may be correct and the Thai spoken by me is meaningless gibberish to the Thais who must suffer the pain of trying to figure out what the heck I am nattering on about whilst continuing to smile at the same time. 55555
Your observation is not a serious one to me and this is not just because it originates from a mildish troll !!! 55555
