Speaking Thai again is loads of fun. I am amazed that farang people can get by with no knowledge of the Thai language. I am constantly speaking Thai especially as it relates to photographing people. Heck I even spoke some Khmer to a young girl today. She was very quiet and watching me from a distance when I tried to speak Thai to her, I was told she was Cambodian. I remembered how to say what is your name in Khmer "Chomoo Awai". After I spoke to her in the proper language she told me her name and relaxed for some head shots. A beautiful young girl, what does her future hold?
Language skills are often key to gaining people's trust. I need to continue to work on my Thai and greatly improve my almost non existent Khmer and Burmese.
