So most Thais more so in the tourist traps can speak English? Wow ! Wish I had known that twenty two years ago when I moved here. Would not have wasted all that time. Just shout English more often. Very BIG HINT! The Thais likely consider you dumb, rude and most of all obnoxious.

I have heard so many lame excuses over the years. The worst being "Why don,t they speak English?" The #1 reason expats and long term visitors are miserable here. Do not blame the bar hooker you hired as translator , girlfriend , wife for your problems. Take a real long look in the mirror. The same goes for foreign women .
