เมีย ชึ้อ สอ รถ ชึ้อ ผ่อน
mia séu sot rót séu pòn
To get a wife you need cash in hand, while a car is acquired with monthly instalments.

So there really is a Thai Alphabet Song…
In a previous post, The Thai Alphabet Poem, I made the comment that it was more of a poem than a song. But after skimming through YouTube…
Here’s little Hanna singing along to what sounds like a Thai Alphabet Song on CD.
Aren’t they just the sweetest things?
And here it [...]
Is there a Christopher G Moore in the house?…
I created Women Learn Thai not just to take on the language, but to study the history and culture of all things Thai.
For research (especially living in a city the size of Bangkok), the Internet is a jewel. But being oldfashioned, my first choice will [...]
Byki (Before you know it)…
If your language learning style of choice is a SRS (Spaced Repetition System), then Byki might just be the one for you.
And you might also be glad to know that instead of painstakingly filling a SRS with vocabulary and sound, you can start learning right away with Byki’s 2,000 words and [...]
‘Tis the season. Again…
So, what does one get for the budding Thai language learner this year? Or even for yourself, as a pat on the back for all those Thai lessons you’ve slogged through in 2008?
T-shirts with Thai script are not too shabby of a stocking stuffer. And if the gift matters, here’s [...]
Several years back, seemed all my designer friends were in love with their Moleskins. And seems like they’re still at it.
Living overseas, Moleskins haven’t been readily available. And I’m not sure when they made it to Asia, but they are definitely here.
I found mine at Paragon in BKK. And while I didn’t purchase right [...]
I haven’t visited every corner of Thailand, but I’ve seen a fair bit. By rental cars, loaners, water taxis and taxis charging by the day, I’ve spread into Thailand.
For years, after acquiring a dislike for Bangkok during the haze of the 2006, I’d unload at the airport and keep on going to Changmai. Or [...]
Bangkok is an exciting, busy, dusty, noisy, hot, beautiful, ugly, stinky, and aromatic city.
And I love it.
In ‘94, fresh from a nine month introduction to living in Brunei Darussalam, I experienced Bangkok as a first. It was a long holiday weekend away. Away from Brunei, the Abode of Peace.
I like to think that I’m an experienced expat. Sometimes it rings true. Sometimes not. Looking for a new home is a case in point.
Before relocating, I tend to do a lot of research to source new accommodation. There is no real replacement for actual experience, so for the final decision, I lean on personal [...]
A bit of history…
I was raised in the expat life. With foreign travel in my blood, I naturally took to the lifestyle.
So far I’ve lived on the Island of Borneo (9 years), France (2 years), Japan (2+ years), New Zealand (3+ years), Scotland (1 year), Thailand (followed the tsunami in), as well as eight [...]
