TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the quality of bacon available in Thailand, with various comments comparing it to American bacon and sharing personal experiences with English breakfasts. Recommendations for obtaining better bacon and breakfast options include visiting specific pubs and restaurants in Pattaya and Bangkok. Some humorous comments about the stereotypical ingredients in English breakfasts, such as beans and black pudding, also emerge throughout the conversation.

Daw is one of the Thai words used. I use Daw Lay often when a Thai woman always about in her 40's over weight dirty dress and flip flops attempts to cut in front of me in line. I have Daw Lay radar I can see them coming and ready to block off and shout Daw Lay . Odd men never cut in front of line and often ask if I want to go first.

 if they are English / American beans they are great- it’s those big fat far east beans that are terrible

Most Americans love their fatty bacon. Others prefer the less fatty back bacon eaten by the rest of the world.

Okay here is my funny story. You might already know the punchline, if so I'm sorry for the long reply. But if you don't know - it's funnier in the long version I think. Answer in next reply.

So in my younger days I looked enough like Leonardo DiCaprio that it got commented on from time to time. Titanic was very big here and when I first arrived, like most single guys, I wasted some time in bars. The following dialog took place about 50 times:

What is your name?

Jack

Ohhhh hahahaha Titanic!! My name is Rose!!!!!

Because of the Leonardo connection I would totally lean into that.

The other dialog that happened a lot was:

Me name is Jack.

Ooh like Jack Daniels hahahaha!

This one is less fun for me so I would say "no my name is Jack Dawson" because that is the character name from Titanic. This would get a massive laugh every time- whatever.

Fast forward a few years. Married now. In a taxi with my wife and we pass the Jack Daniels restaurant in Bangkok and she says "honey looks, Jack Daniels like you" and I say "no I'm Jack Dawson"

Silence.

Then shyly my wife says "baby, I must tell you something. People do not laugh because of Titanic. In Thai language 'daw' means dick and 'son' means short"

So for like... A year... I would announce to groups of women that my name was Jack Short Dick.

Omg. Bwahahaha!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a laugh at my (our) expense.
