@Nigel ************

When I need to get somewhere I stop so that my partner can get directions from someone at the side of the street.

She tells me 'it's just down there'.

When we get 'just down there' we have to stop and ask someone else.

We do this half a dozen times.

Either my Thai partner doesn't understand Thai or Thai people are crap at giving directions.🤣

I'm not being rude to Thai people, but all I hear is a noise, one long joined up word!

I'm totally unable to distinguish individual words like I can in European languages.

I have

Should I start a new thread for this?

Thanks
