1) If you are from Singapore , please HIDE the fact from me? > ซุกซ่อน jaak pom ?
ANS: I'd go like 'If you are from Singapore, don't tell me that..../no need to......./keep ........ a secret' < these 3 variations sound much more natural in the Thai translation, I think.
1.1 Don't tell me that.... อย่า บอก ผม ว่า...........
12. no need to.....(I guess/ I suppose): ไม่ ต้อง / ไม่ จำเป็น ต้อง..........................ก็ได้
In the sense: No need to tell me that..../ No need to tell me about......
ไม่ต้อง บอก ผม ว่า....... ก็ได้_/ ไม่ต้อง บอก ผม เรื่อง..... ก็ได้
1.3. keep 'something' a secret..... เก็บ something เป็น ความลับ(secret)
ซุกซ่อน jaak pom ? << this does not sound right.
2) Don't expect too much! > yaa คาด maak ?
ANS: Expect = คาดหวัง therefore the sentence should be translated like this;
อย่า คาดหวัง มาก เกินไป
Don't expect too much
3) What is "lum yong " ? Sorry about my spelling > its something about a person who like to drink alcohol?
ANS: Not sure about this.. ลำยอง Lum yong is originally a popular fictional character from a talk-of-the-town TV drama and well-known for her fierce anger and emotional imbalance. So the ลำยอง might have become a 'slang' used to speak about people who have lost their mind/become uncontrollable mindful from drinking too much alchohol, perhaps.
