Hey Nicke,

The only way to have this book is to go to the Mai Thai Bar?
Cause I will be in Phuket only in December, and that would be great if I could receive it before.
If not possible, it's okay, I will wait

Thanks mate!

 

[J. K]

Send a PM with your address and I send you one.

 

[Snopea]

nicke,

Hi,Can i have one of this book?

 

[Pompal 09.]

Ha no man, I think she is calling you crazy

 

[Sovelin]

hi is this book available over the internet, it sounds great

 

[Sdfsfd]

Thanx for the tip
BTW: A German edition can be also bought HERE (only German website) in the shop... for those who don´t go to Patong.

 

[Just a Guy]

Sounds interesting. Is it possible to pick a copy up in Bangkok?

 

[MagicianTrent]

The problem with phrase books is that you have to be able to understand the reply. If all she's going to do is to say either "dai" or "mai da" in response to your comments, it's going to be a pretty dull conversation.

It sure is for you mate. 555555555555555

..But why don't you sell this in Ebook form as a PDF too? Going by the fact we're all computer literate, as we're on this forum, it would make sense for us as we can read em on our computers, iphones etc and your production costs, and profit margins would be a lot higher surely? You could ad a link and sell directly then on Ebay etc. I, for one, would like to read this before I get LOS, rather than after..Can I ask, are the phrases in general Thai or southern diallect?...
Cheers, and I'll see you in a few weeks,
Andi.

The trouble with those phrasebooks is they don't tell you how to pronounce the words phonetically and as Thai is a tonal language many words can be pronounced 5 different ways and mean 5 different things.

eg. suay can get you in trouble. If you want it to mean beautiful I think you have to say it with a rising tone at the end. If you say it with a level or falling tone at the end it means something completely different.

 

[DIANEC]

You were asking the wrong questions only a few phrases are necessary like;

" Would you and your friend like to go back to the room"

Answer "Yes"

"How much for two girls LT"

Answer "2000 bht"

" Do you and your friend do lesbian show "

Answer "Yes "

It's all very straight forward you don't want to start confusing them with morals.

On my last trip to LOS, a BG I'd had been with shouted "You ****in' Ting-Tong!" and I never did find out what it meant til now, ha-ha-ha!!!:na:

Nicke's post about the book was made over five years ago!

He does not produce the book, but kept a few copies for resale at his bar.

It is widely available on the web, as well as book stores in Thailand.

 

[Jane]

Any left ? be there 10 jan

 

[Suz123]

Was a handy little thing to have i tell you. Also gave some good laughs aswell back in the room.

 

[sussan]

Nikke: For those folks who want the book that aren't in LOS why not just list it on e-bay with shipping costs...etc...
