The descriptor hi-so is almost always used mockingly by Thais. Only foolish farang use it to describe their partners or kik which almost certainly would invite sniggering from other Thais and make the farang appear very lo-so indeed, which most farang in Thailand invariably are.

There are many other elegant and nuanced ways of describing someone who is well off, upper-middle class, wealthy or refined in Thai - sometimes with a subtle, underlying insult - but I shan't bother you with them this morning.
