Description


The Thai people love fun and laughter. 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? "Outrageous Thai" is designed to teach non-Thais to understand the everyday spoken language-along with local slang, curses and epithets. A non-Thai, especially a Westerner, will appreciate the opportunity to learn some really strong and direct language that his Thai colleagues would rather he not know. This title lets you learn how to call someone hot or ugly, a walrus or a potbelly, stupid or a hypocrite. It helps you know how to put off lechers by saying 'Piss off!' in the strongest possible way. Intended for just about anyone who wants to get the most reactions from any Thai within hearing distance, this book is simply the best reference you need to survive in Thailand.
