No problem Bro Dino.

I can't speak thai so usually approach the young thai pple for my queries. Just like Japan, preferably young females. Anyway, i always frequent the same old place so not much of a problem.

young females are more willing to listen/help. of course if you ask for silly services you can expect to get slapped

Thanks Bro Vandyk for the link. I'll check it out. Also, waiting for Bro Louisoh FR.

One question: how many of you guys can speak thai to find your way in BKK? Else, how to communicate?

No problem Bro Dino.

in Thailand chinese there speak teochew and hokkien....not in hk leh...cantonese is a no go..lol

i had a feeling that in thailand speak cantonese........ . Noted hokkien is fine by me Means I have no worries if I go thailand. Last time my old man was in BKK they spoke cantonese

if u speak cantonese, may as well speak english...btw simple english will juz do fine there..hahahaha...i dun speak thai too..can survive de lar...hahaha...if come to gals...let ur body do the talking..no talking is needed...hahahahaha

im sure most people have a grasp of english with differing degrees of understanding. The young guns would have a strong grasp of the language.

you can look for chinese shops and communicate to them in cantonese, they can then divert you on where to go
