Hot or not so hot
Yesterday on the drive back from holidays we stopped by the side of the road and ordered some food. The stall holder was in a bit of a dilema. We were obviously foreigners, but we could speak Thai, so when I said in Thai "phet nitnooy" (a little bit spicy) she didn't know whether to make it foreigner not spicy or Thai not spicy. The old lady in the back said "They speak Thai, so they behave like Thais" so I got my lunch Thai spicy levels which was very delicous. It made me think though how important learning language is, I can never look Thai!! but I can try to behave like a Thai!
