Just curious -
I've always been amazed that that people who want to learn the English language have to go through the ordeal of learning the grammar, why the frack is that I wonder :?: I never had to. I've met many non-native speakers of English (a good few in Thailand) & in many cases their conversation skills are poor. :roll: Less emphasis on grammar & more on speaking is my prescription.

Take a real news story and rewrite the headline to be more truthful. Example: Original headline: Celebrities Help Raise Money for Thailand’s Elephants Rewrite: Fuck the poor. Elephants provide better photo ops than poor farmers. http://www.thaitravelblogs.com/2011/07/celebrities-help-raise-money-for-thailand%E2%80%99s-elephants/

Walk around Bangkok and you're bound to hear some strange conversations. I was having dinner tonight, and I said something that made me think of making this thread. I have no idea what I'm eating right now, but damn it tastes good. What are some funny, strange, or simply outrageous quotes or conversations you've heard in Thailand?

For those who don't know, the Thai number system does not go beyond 1 million. 1 billion is 1,000 million...1 trillion is 10,000 million and so on. The way the world is growing at such a fast rate, the need to add in new names for these numbers will be needed. Will Thais add this in, and if so...when? Is it ever discussed? It would be funny to hear Thai astronomers having a serious meeting saying "It's over a million million kilometers...fuck it, it's far, ok?!!" (yes, I'm sure they use light years as well) One side question...what does the Chinese number system use for large numbers?
