Food Hunting Around the Lake


sweating because of the heat!!! photo taken by khui shing

after browsing through a beginner's book on Thai, i tested my knowledge of numbers and haggling on the streetfood vendors around the lake.

me: sawatdee khrap!
vendor: sawatdee kha.. and the manang goes on babbling in thai which i do not understand...
me: nii a-rai? (pointing to a food that looks like pansit bihon)
vendor: the manang bursts out some word i can't figure out again..
me: ah.. (feigning understanding) ra ka thaoraai?
vendor: sip baht. (which i understand as 10 baht)
me: khrap. sawng.
vendor: ok, yee-sip baht (that's 20 baht, and she goes on to speak in thai again and hands over the pansit bihon)
me: khawpkhun khrap.
vendor: khawpkhun kha.

SUCCESS!
