This is a user-friendly and concise Thai phrase book and guide to Thai slang and Thai curses. 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? This Thai phrasebook, while designed to teach non-Thais to understand that spoken language on the street or in everyday life, also teachers powerful words that could easily get them punched in the face-probably worse. So, be cautious. This little book contains powerful words. 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. Learn how to call someone hot or ugly, a walrus or a potbelly, stupid or a hypocrite. 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 Thailand. Not just a simple phrasebook, Outrageous Thai teaches how to really speak Thai, and understand the Thai language. Know what Thais really mean and answer back. Features of this Thai phrasebook are: Compact travel size. Hundreds of colorful Thai phrases organized by topic and use. Extensive explanations of context and culture. All phrases shown in written Thai script, Romanized Thai and English. Intended for students of all levels and anyone interested in how Thai is really spoken, this book is absolutely indispensable for foreigners who live in Thailand and want to know what is being said when someone insults you in Thai!… (mais)

One of the more frustrating things about learning a new language is that what you get from a textbook or a language instructor is often not what you’ll hear on the street or in everyday life.

There’s a ton of different ending particles that you can throw on to the end of any Thai sentence or phrase and the meaning of the sentence will totally change. The two most common ones for beginners of the Thai language are the super polite ครับ [krúp] and ค่ะ [kà] for guys and girls, respectively. While these are incredibly useful they are also incredibly boring. Nothing—and I mean nothing—will make you sound more like a dweeb then to continue using these for every situation. The Thais will tell you that, “Oh, you’re so polite,” or “Wow, how cute!” and will discourage you from using what I’m about to teach you, but don’t give in! The truth is that they simply don’t want you to know too much.

If you’re having a good hand or good luck, then Thais call it มือขื้น [mue kûen]. If it’s a bad hand or bad luck, then it’s called มือตก [mue dtòhk]. Thais have a proverb for this luck, ตาดีก็ได้ ตาร้ายก็เสีย [dtah-dee-gâw-dâi dtahrái-gâw-sˇia], which basically means: You win some, you lose some!
