After 9 years in this country, you cant speak even a basic level of thai to say that you want another piece of a sample which you take to a shop? Sure, cant get any worse.

They should know more English (The World Language) than their basic ''no hab '' ..Shame on them .Looks like they were too dim also to interpretate some basic sign language .

It's amazing how easy it is to get around in Thailand even for 100% non-Thai speakers.

I know a few of these and some have lived happily here for years, Thai people are usually cheerful, tolerant and friendly and can often drum up an English speaker in emergencies.

Look at the road signs... anything that matters is in English.... try looking for a multi language sign in the UK etc.

The thing is, Thais don’t talk like that, ‘same same or similar similar’. So if you completely mangle the pronunciation of a single word or short phrase they have no context by which to guess what you are on about. That said, your attitude has a lot to do with how well they respond to someone making funny noises and waving their hands in the air.smile.png

Interpretate? No wonder you feel obliged to add some sign language. It's the least you could do. o_O
