Well if you know that the thai word for lying is goh hok then it's pretty obvious why 6 is used to refer to lying.
Btw do you know why 5555 in chat rooms = laughter?
I'll let you answer that one.
Hahahaha.
5 = Ha.

Don't put words into my mouth. Which part of my post did I imply that Thai ladies are whores ?
That Thai culture is inferior does not mean Thai ladies are whores.
Haahaahaahaa.
5 = Haa.
Well you sort of wrote learning the language is a means to an end. It's pretty open to intepretation. Then later it was talking about guys in here wanting more to learn the language to get to know more thai gals to screw rather than to really learn the language etc.
The genius has done it again. Yes my good man that was pretty easy wasn't it?
You explanation is correct, but it doesn't imply at all that Thai ladies are whores. The implication, as your explanation proves, is directed at the guys - guys who claimed that they're interested in Thai language.
If I say Singapore men go Joo Chiat to bonk Vietnamese prostitutes, does that mean all the ladies living in Joo Chiat constituency are whores ?
Well you can that, pretty easy. When learning a new language, the numbers usually come in the first few chapters.
I agree with yandao that Thais are best liars.
I'm not going to argue about specifics here but well singapore ppl stereotyping thai ladies as whores is well not that uncommon it's the same with them saying that filippino women are all maids. It's just spouted by ignorant ppl that's all.
Everyone makes these sorts of generalizations. Anyway let's put this thing to rest, i would rather talk about something else.
You mean they are better liars than filippinos?
Could you give examples as when they tell lies other than the obvious tee rak and her foreign bf scenerio?
Do thais lie to each other as well?
Do Thais lie to each other ? Of course. Anything that will help them 'save face' they will lie without batting an eyelid.
I know some smart ass will come in and say : "You mean Chinese don't lie ?"
When Chinese lie, they know it's wrong. When Thais lie, they don't think it's wrong.
Exactly. Thais will lie to anyone as-a-matter-of-factly. Foreigners who don't understand this culture will end up with the short end of the stick. I'm not Thai bashing, but this is their culture. Telling lie is an important tool to save face and exposing another telling lie is discourteous. In such a situation, make up and tell your own lie to smooth things out both ways. Again, yes, other races including Chinese do that too. But you have to live in Thailand for an extended period of time to understand the extent they'd go. It's not about swindling your money. It's about face.
Hmm but i had one thai gal tell me matter-of-factly her job and it wasn't something to be proud of and she didn't lie.
Your manager?I don't understand anything about the pinoys, so I'm not able to provide a comparison.

When Chinese lie, they know it's wrong. When Thais lie, they don't think it's wrong. That is the difference in culture. Chinese understand 羞恥之心,Thais simply don't have this phrase in their idioms and proverbs. Only recently I asked my manager to offer me the equivalent of 人窮志不窮 in Thai, the manager called in two assistant managers (all University graduates). None could come up with a similar phrase in Thai. It's simply not in their dictionary !
Okay, not anymore Thai bashing in this thread.
What ? นั่งตู้กระจก
Your manager?
Company manager? Bank manager? Or some other type of manager?
Interesting. Hmmmmmm.................
She's not telling a lie, she's telling the obvious when it earns her more sympathy and confidence. What's the whole story behind, caveat emptor. I remember Jah Rastafar I hates people telling the obvious. He calls them Sherlock Holmes. I was one of the Sherlock Holmeses graduated from the Jah Rastafar I Detective Academy too.
Yandao, this time I'm completely lost. I don't understand the context of your post at all.
Take a good look at the mirror, compose yourself and take the principle of the obvious to another level. If a Thai girl tells you her profession in the sex industry qualifying that she's not proud of it, what does it mean and what does her hope to achieve?
