The Thai people love fun and laughter and they appreciate foreigners who speak their language. But how would they react to foreigners who throw insults in the Thai language and know how to make them blush at the use of direct and vulgar Thai words?
This Thai phrasebook, while designed to teach non-Thais to understand that spoken language on the street or in everyday life, also teaches powerful words that could easily get them punched in the face - or worse. Learn how to call someone hot or ugly, a walrus or a potbelly, stupid or a hypocrite. Know how to put off lechers by saying 'Piss off!' in the strongest possible way. This book is simply the best reference you need to survive Thailand. Not just a simple phrasebook, Outrageous Thai teaches how to really speak Thai, and understand the Thai language; know what Thais really mean and how to answer back.
Features of this Thai phrasebook are:
Compact travel size
Hundreds of colourful Thai phrases organised by topic and use
Extensive explanations of context and culture
All phrases shown in written Thai script, Romanised Thai, and English.
