Gents, there is this translate App you can download to your phone's called "SayHi".
You just speak to your phone and it will translate your English language to Thai (or which other languages you choose), then it will speak the chosen language out for your guest to hear.
Happy hunting!

I have just tried this app using Thai and it seems to work well. The translation and diction are good.Originally Posted by Blacktouch

Wow! I just tried it with Japanese and it was perfect!
I'd be interested if anyone has tried it with Thai.
Maybe you could use it with the twinks on your next visit to Golden Cock since you say you can't understand them?
personally I can't understand why anyone would go to Golden Cock - but that is a different problem

MY first Bar in Thailand and my first Thai experience were in Golden Cock decades ago when a Norwegian owned it. Yes, it has changed many times over the years but while adjusting to the new time zone it's being open in the early afternoon was a draw and now- well, now a visit now and then is pure nostalgia. I assume there are others who feel the samepersonally I can't understand why anyone would go to Golden Cock - but that is a different problem

It seems that early retirement impairs one’s comprehension skills too.

a) that he had used the English to Thai translation
b) that he could vouch for its accuracy
C) that he spoke Thai.
They could, indeed, all be correct but neither you not I know that.
You are reading something into his post which may or may not be there.
I could also use the app to translate from English to Thai, but how would I know if the translation is accurate if I didn't know Thai?
If I knew Thai, I wouldn't need to use a translation app.
So I think it is you whose comprehension of impaired.

quoting from Blacktouch's post helps MiniMee's case rather than yours as he had quoted from Yraen's post immediately before yours saying it worked well with Thai!

Of course, you are correct. I completely missed Yraen's post.
My first instinct was to claim my post was an April Fools joke, given that I never know what day it is.
But I guess that won't wash, huh?
Damn!
So I offer my humble apologies to Mini-mee. I got it wrong.
