If u understand Thai enough and notice speaking with a well brought up family, their Thai are very polite and well manner comparing to others.

Thanks for the marketing... :D

Thai sentence ends with "Krup" or "Ka" in a polite way. They will also use "Krup" or "Ka" to acknowledge. To use "Krup pom", it is even more polite and especially when u acknowledge an elderly.

Example for the above.

Tirak, "Ruk mai"
U answer, "Ruk ti sot krup"

Grandfather, "kow jai mai"
U answer, "Krup pom"

To speak to elderly Thai, polite language is very important. Must always "krup krup krup" but when speak to your FL/WL tirak then all these are ignored.... you can always hear, "errr" to acknowledge instead of "ka". If this is used to acknowledge the elderly, this ger will be scolded, in chinese, we call "没家教“

"Kow jai pa lah" :D

Husband is "sa mi"

So just checking possibility plan of you in Jan 2013. Thanks
