aidon2004 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 ÃÂèÒÊÒÇäÊéãËé¡Ò¡Ô¹ ya sao sai hai ga gin Don't pull out your intestines to feed the crow. Translated it would mean "Don't air your dirty linen in public". There are a couple more that mean the same sort of thing: fai nai ya nam ok - (Don't take out the fire inside) and fai nork ya nam khao - (Don't bring in the fire from outside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 ˹Õà Ê×ûèÃÃà ¢é nee sua ba ja-ra-kay Escape from the tiger, meet the crocodile. Translates to Out of the frying-pan into the fire. PS Misty, sorry for grossing you out with the previous post, this one should be more palatable. Althought maybe the picture for this one wass of a crocodile eating a little boy :wink: Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaDaz Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Just a quick reply to your enquiry about Thai sayings. two of my favorites are Whua gair gin yaa oon Old buffalo eats young grass (old men like young girls) and See so hai qwai fung playing a violin to a buffalo (wasting your time on something pointless) Sorry about my Thai phonetics this PC doesn't do Thai script and I never learnt to write the phonetics Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
