sa wat dii khrap . . .sa bai dii reu . . . .sa bai dii . . . phom cheu . .. Tony maa jaak U.K I have back packed Thailand twice in recent years, and hope to do so again soon, I did pick up a few of the usual tourist phrases but was sadly never in one place long enough to befriend a patient enough casual language guide! I have so loved my travels and experiences in my favourite country that i want to be prepared with a greater ability to speak thai on my next visit. One word I remember and keep with me always is "sanuk" and one phrase that I relate back to is "the land of smiles" . . . :)
