100% agree with you.And then they come and ask to learn them english.But they really not want to learn. They still want to talk thai/english.They do not want to improve at all. And the food.Well it is not really cooking They use a riscooker fill water inside. Then buy a sause from Macro in a bottle. Then put some meat in some oil. Then cut cucumber.And that is it. They can not use any recipe to cook. All is to just throw somethings together. And also they buy most from makro .That they just warm.Or put into some oil.
@@RogueReplicant because thats the THAI word for Central...เซ็นทรัล - its not wrong English or mispronouncing, its literally a Thai word adopted from the English word. It ends in ล (which sort of represents the /l/ sound) which at the front of a word could be an "l" or "r" sound but changes to น sound at the end. I think you need to learn Thai words before uneducated comments like this.
The Thai language has certain consonants which require a vowel between them, and certain ending consonants which are either not pronounced, or have an altered pronunciation at the end of words. So when they come across these consonant blends, or ending consonant sounds in English, it is extremely unnatural for them to pronounce them the way we would. Thus resulting in the mispronunciation. On the flip side, when we mispronounce the tones it can completely alter the sentence beyond recognition. For example, if you say, 'Yesterday, I rode a horse,' with the incorrect tones, they hear, 'Yesterday, I shit a dog.' Thinking about it like this, I can understand why at times it is more difficult for them to understand what we are saying because they are not sure which word, or how many words we said incorrectly. Edit - I forgot to mention that they don't have the letter V, so that becomes a W. They also don't have a 'ch' the same way we do. While they have similar sounds, there are certain English words where it becomes obvious it is not the same. Ask a Thai to say the word 'couch' and you will see.
If you learn a new language it doesn't matter how your mother language work. Every language has there own rule and grammar. Learn it correctly or not. no excuses. BTW English is not my first language.
@@wetterleugner2727 First, I was just giving some detail as to why many Thais struggle to pronounce some words and letters incorrectly. Don't get so butt hurt about it. Second, he lives in Thailand. He is lucky that anyone speaks English at all. Third, 'Learn it correctly or not. No excuses.' is easier said than done and an absolutely absurd thing to say about learning and/or speaking another language. There are varying degrees of required achievement in everything you learn, especially something as complicated as a language. You for example didn't put an 's' on the end of work, or 'rule.' Based on your own logic, how dare you! Learn the language or don't learn it at all. No Excuses!
@@wetterleugner2727 exactly, that's why we learn a different language, to be able to talk the other people who use that language.

You crack me up. 😂😂😂 in Thailand you have to pronounce English incorrectly in order for them to understand. Thai pronounce “R” L. For example. “Read” they pronounce “Lead”. I have to say, when it comes to speaking English Cambodian people speak much better because people there take it seriously.
@@vgshwk Very true. A lot of Cambodians can speak multiple languages. I knew kids there that can speak multiple languages Khmer, English, French, Chinese fluently. Knowing multiple languages is very important to Cambodian people. Even Cambodian king can speak 4 languages Khmer, English, French and Czech.
I love your posts. You're not critiquing. you're just pointing out the differences. I love how Thais say strawberry and computer, etc . Farang, I believe, is just how they say the word foreign . I follow you, keep up the vlogs. Thank you.
Excellent opening to define your intent of it is just a grain of salt and the face when the dog barks and the siren wails 👍 My grain of salt .... it is really up to us to learn Thai and not up to them to learn our language. They survived fine without foreigners and could do so again. A story ... I was working in the open office style with the Japanese.

We speak our own thai language mate .We were not born to speak your bloody English . Every single language have their own prononciation , you cant expect when people speak their second or third language fluently for it to be perfect .
I just got a glimpse at the end of your video and noticed you had your angry pants on so that explains your wigging out session . Nice atmosphere in the road side eatery complete with the barking howling dogs and noisy motorbikes not forgetting the thunderbox paper as paper napkins on the dinning table . Keep up the good .
Always love your take on things . Yes, there are many things to fustrate us farangs 😊 but at the end of the day, we love the girls and food and lifestyle
My first thai girl friend argued with me and will not expect even though I'm English. She wanted va get abules . From the market . I said what ? Va get abules...... oh I said vegetables..... no no no I want va get abules.... headache welcome to asia
My wtf moment was when I said something very simple in Thai to a Thai who looked at me like I'd just trod in dogshit. Then a second Thai repeated what i'd said and the first one went 'ooohh' and it all suddenly made sense to her.
It's called "Tonal language" LOL it's not about the thais' willingness or not .... In Japan, credit card is : kuredito cado. It is not considered a mispronunciation. It is in the dictionnary, with a katakana writing.
The Japanese called "Babe Ruth" Beibo Rutay. They call baseball "beisoboru". It's called phonetics. The reason Western farang mangle many Thai words isn't confined to tone, it's because they cannot read Thai, so they're learning the language phonetically via English alphabet. i love "motorby", "Seven", and "sa-kool, sa-port"
You are in Thailand, you should learn to speak Thai. When Thai people go abroad, they learn to speak the language of that country. If you go to China or Japan, where they also speak little English, do you expect them to speak English? You are not the center of the world, where everything has to revolve around you and be the way you want it to be. If you want to communicate only in English, you should go to a tourist area or an English-speaking country.
I take your points. But as an English speaker, I tend to have an arrogant mindset when it comes to English as the global language I know I shouldn't feel like this. But as I say, "it's a mindset".
Yep true again but what is annoying on "Learn Thai" websites like "Thaipod 101" they say that if you are an English speaker then many English words are spoken in English ...Yeah ..The THAI way .. For example the country "Spain"as we would say it, it's "SAA..pain" or "Com...PU.. TOR" for "Computer" .. I was at my local Thai cafe asking for a " Leo" beer .. i ask for a bottle of leo beer in thai, only to be looked with puzzeled faces .. Then a Thai lady said you mean "Leeee Oooo" as if I was stupid. I can speak 7 Langagues as I have lived most of my life outside the UK, but Thai is one I am struggling with.. I am now "PEE..TER" rather than "Peter". So when I am asked for my name that's what I say ... I am termined to win and learn this Language as it's very important for my development in this country. .so i understand you " DAA."😊. Funny thing is that my thai lady thinks she speaks perfect English, looks at me as if to think i am stupid. When I try to get her too roll her vowels and learn english like they did on "Sesami street" she tries for 2 Minutes gives up calls me crazy and walks away.
when I jumped on a tour bus and the guide talked us through the trip in 10 different languages, that's when I changed my attitude that this topic was a non-issue.
100% Agree with you. The look of horror when you don"t understand them. Prime example the word foreign, they say farrang it simply means foreign. Having said that if you were to put the boot on the other foot and they came to your home country and expected you to speak Thai to them, not many people would like that! The other thing is this saving face thing, now that is pretty childish. And yes they are Xenophobic.
Fulfill all your wishes with my taco-flavored kisses. Taco taco. Burrito burrito. Taco taco.” “Don’t think just because I got a lot of money, I’ll give you taco-flavored kisses, honey”
"Colloquialism is the linguistic style used for casual communication"...Wikipedia there are sounds they don't seem to hear as the 'se' on the end of words which like Mickey Mou... In Thai, words ending in 'L' sound are changed to 'N' as Tylenon and Nooden... it is only a simple variation which you will find with English in different parts of the world. I am sure some less than tolerant Brits are frustrated with the different pronunciations of English in other places - - why would Leicester be pronounced "Lester" ?? Jai yen yen dude. Viva la difference
The mispronouncing drives you mad you say.. But when you mispronounce Thai words does it drive the Thai's mad? Once you mentioned the word motorcycle..the Thai's say "motocy" then you went on to say that the thai's don't say it correctly..."motocy" is the Thai word for motorcycle..they've adopted the word from the English language and made their one version of it.Just like many english words are adopted from latin the english language has taken words from another language and made their own version of it .. ."Throughout the history of the English language, the English vocabulary has been constantly enlarged and enriched by means of borrowing from other languages. Until this day, Latin is the most prolific source of borrowings in English, with over 40,000 borrowings from this origin registered in the OED3."...from google.. Do you think the words the english language has adopted are being pronounced perfectly like it should be Latin?
good on you for sharing your opinion on your youtube channel. you love living in thailand with its warts and all yet some people cannot seem to see past the nose on thier face and whinge about how you are whinging about thailand. LOL! keep up the good work, Cheers
I hate to break this to you but this is the way of the world! I believe your point of origin is across the pond from the USA and once you land at Heathrow airport are inundated with a plethora of different dialects other than “RP” English.
I remember absolutely enraging a Thai woman on a food stand when I first arrived. Me: 'Vegetables krub?' Her: 'Ka' About 10 mins later Her: 'Wedatabowl' Me: ? Her: 'Wedatabowl!' Me: With a bowl? Krub, I'd like a bowl Cue her going into an absolute rant in Thai to a guy who just turned up on his bike where the word 'farang' was used several times and me and the bloke looking at each other and laughing while she went off on one.
After almost 300 videos on this channel is there any chance you could do just one, JUST ONE that is positive about Thailand or is every video until the end of time, just you finding faults and slagging off this great country? 🤔🤔 Believe me, there are a thousand more faults i could find about 4th world hellscape Ireland these days! 👍
HAAHHAHA,,Tf with the title,, u make me laugh. how do u control how they talk, Lol. It is what it is, u cannot control everything in this world my dear. Enjoy ur life there man. At least they try to speak in English right? Funny video thou.
I remember 15 years ago the Chinese were recruiting the best English teachers from US/UK/ etc with generous salaries and benefits ( accomodation, holiday back home, visa, etc etc). They wanted the best for their kids. In summary you get what you pay for
Thai's speak Nightclub English. Once they're out of the Nightclub, they run out. The tank is empty. Fair play to them though for keeping the toilet paper supply nice and handy for the episode on the pan after lunch. Heaven forbid somebody gets caught short while strolling casually down Soi Pothole of an afternoon. Such a nice touch how the unscheduled Colonic Irrigation is always included fee of charge and lasts a number of hours. Thereby clearing the pipes nicely for the evening binge.
You keep saying you ll be back with another "wonderful" video. Just wondering when that will be? All I see is yet another recycled moaning session. You have around 8 topics that you repeat over and over and over. Ever wonder why your viewing numbers are in decline???
I don't understand why Thai people love going to a restaurant where they bring you raw food that you cook over a steaming bowl of broth! Why am I cooking my own food at a restaurant??? I really want to know!
but you still go? Its incredibly enjoyable to cook your food in communal style and part of their culture. Why are you judging it? Its done all over the world.
almost all the asian countries do that, you just have to deal with it. Just remember how cheap it is there, and you have all the hot girls running around
It's worse than you portray. The letter "a" is "eh" (j = jeh, k = keh). "Ice cream" is actually "i-teem". Central is "cen-trahn", ball is "bohn", Dave is "dev", shake is check and ferry is furry 😮
100% agree with you.And then they come and ask to learn them english.But they really not want to learn.
They still want to talk thai/english.They do not want to improve at all.
And the food.Well it is not really cooking
They use a riscooker fill water inside.
Then buy a sause from Macro in a bottle.
Then put some meat in some oil.
Then cut cucumber.And that is it.
They can not use any recipe to cook.
All is to just throw somethings together.
And also they buy most from makro .That they just warm.Or put into some oil.
At the end of the day its their country so it is what it is.
Thai destroy English, food and Farang Bank account
It's good and very valuable because it's the small things that no one else talks about.
Cheers mate!
Good point. You can't just get in a taxi and say "go to Central". You have to say it wrong ("cen-trahn").

After almost 300 videos on this channel is there any chance you could do just one, JUST ONE that is positive about Thailand or is every video until the end of time, just you finding faults and slagging off this great country? 🤔🤔
Believe me, there are a thousand more faults i could find about 4th world hellscape Ireland these days! 👍
HAAHHAHA,,Tf with the title,, u make me laugh. how do u control how they talk, Lol. It is what it is, u cannot control everything in this world my dear. Enjoy ur life there man. At least they try to speak in English right? Funny video thou.
Pilipino says Peran chei Perans instead of French Fries. 😅
Many places also have that extra sweet Thai ketchup.
I love some foreign broken English. What I don't like is domestic broken English. "modabuy" = motorbike >>> "podabee" = supposed to be...
I remember 15 years ago the Chinese were recruiting the best English teachers from US/UK/ etc with generous salaries and benefits ( accomodation, holiday back home, visa, etc etc). They wanted the best for their kids. In summary you get what you pay for
Have you ever watched a Chinese driving instructor teaching a Chinese how to drive 😅
Thai's speak Nightclub English. Once they're out of the Nightclub, they run out. The tank is empty. Fair play to them though for keeping the toilet paper supply nice and handy for the episode on the pan after lunch. Heaven forbid somebody gets caught short while strolling casually down Soi Pothole of an afternoon. Such a nice touch how the unscheduled Colonic Irrigation is always included fee of charge and lasts a number of hours. Thereby clearing the pipes nicely for the evening binge.
Enjoy your Thai food love it . Lost over 100 kg, dog comment was funny
Cheers mate!
I just laugh at it, definitely true though 555
Maybe it would help diminish the soi dog problems if they were on the menu like some other countries 😂😂
Good Idea!
Well they do eat bugs and durian so I don’t see why they would have problems with dog.
@@vgshwk some provinces are fine eating dog, it just went more undrground the same way as eating horse when social media condemmed it.
@@MrCanada-x2u again if you eat bugs and durian you will eat anything.
Game over for Tesla!
Bloody funny 👍👍 scubadriver!! Lol
They're not the sharpest tools in the asian shed. That's very clear.
I doubt you're sharp at all.
you sound like a real winner yourself. Your saying that someone who can't pronounce something correctly is not the sharpest tool in the shed??? wtf.
I like the way they say my name.Se-teev
Jelly Fish is Jelly Fi
Best Friend is Ba Friend
and Free Refill is Fe Refill😂😂
Is that toilet paper on the table?
In case the food gives you the runs.
some travelling you always have TP on hand, because none of the toilets will have any.
You speak the truth my man. Keep up the good work
What the hell are you doing in thailand mate!!
Having a great time in a great country
Yes i know they say load bat not battary loading 😂😂❤❤❤❤
My kids and grandkids speak perfect Thai and English
You keep saying you ll be back with another "wonderful" video. Just wondering when that will be?
All I see is yet another recycled moaning session. You have around 8 topics that you repeat over and over and over.
Ever wonder why your viewing numbers are in decline???
Im Seamus and they call me Saimon.
nothing wrong with the fella s appetite sitting behind him!
Lol😂
I’m non native speaker but even for me it sounds awful
I don't understand why Thai people love going to a restaurant where they bring you raw food that you cook over a steaming bowl of broth! Why am I cooking my own food at a restaurant??? I really want to know!
but you still go? Its incredibly enjoyable to cook your food in communal style and part of their culture. Why are you judging it? Its done all over the world.
Have you ever had to use an asian squat toilet,still have many in Thailand.
almost all the asian countries do that, you just have to deal with it. Just remember how cheap it is there, and you have all the hot girls running around
Lmao 😂 love it mate
You seem to be really struggling, strange place to do a rant, just eat and go.
Yes
And people is Pepen😂
Am back in a week let’s meet for a Leo I’ll be in Bangkok for a week
Godamit they need to speak American !
😂
PATTAYA
Farangs pronounce PATIA
Thai pronounce PAT-TA-YA
Pattaya has 3 syllables not 2
Bangkok
Do you know what a syllable is ? Both. Versions have 3 syllables. It’s pronounced with a different emphasis on the syllable not a different number 😂
I thought a syllable was 2 dustbin lids banged together
Brocken english 😂
u wan ee sum fli li? No loblem
Toilet Loll on table , yuk
😁
It's worse than you portray. The letter "a" is "eh" (j = jeh, k = keh). "Ice cream" is actually "i-teem". Central is "cen-trahn", ball is "bohn", Dave is "dev", shake is check and ferry is furry 😮
