yep that's true, not every word HAS 5 tones and hence 5 diff meanings, but there are 5 tones- (4 and a no tone).

@Danny ******

they do. 'Ja' is will - future, which is very easy to use in Thai. Gamlang - similar to present continuous. Laew is similar to past simple in use.

Maa as in 'bpi nai maa' where have you been? - similar to present perfect in use....

But it's basically only those 4 or 5 equivalent tenses and a lot of contextual language.

Get an extra 30 at immigration, 1900

5 tones, so 5 potential meanings.

@Dianne ****

dunno about that. If that's true its a specific rule for Canadians. The fact is that to retire here you need to follow that protocol. As specified by the Thai immigration.
