I was told this would be an English country.

Diversity is our strength

I thought this was America.

maybe not America but definitely not the Tower of Babel. I think speaking Latin would be okay.

We know de way now.

@nuPlissken you made it worse with the squiggly line writing

hey, hey, Thai could become an international language. The prime minister said so, lol

It's gonna happen folks https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/prayuth-thai-will-become-world-language/

His coconuts are broken. Lol

Laotians, Cambodians, and I think the Burmese know some Thai because of the spicy soaps and satellite TV. World power soon.

I really love boba and Thai tea though.

I think the boba teas come from Taiwan, but it's big here too

If spicy soaps is the path to world power then, Mexico shall dominate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yQNOYcQ18I

Thai soaps always involve a sassy maid, a meddlesome mother-in-law, and some bad boy with multiple partners. I think the Mexican soaps might be similar?

From what little I've seen all those things are present.

Lol! Very similar. Are you a fan of boba too btw?

kind of "high status" around these parts, but I like a boba once in a while if it's on the table

How is boba high status there?

most stuff from the "fancy" asian countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore is considered trendy and high status

Lol I see some Asians are excluded there. What about Vietnamese pho?

pho? gross it's not spicy

I eat it when I'm sick. Really helps!

I do that with egg flower soup. Which is double good because it is easy to make at home.

they eat something called Jok here. it's like rice oatmeal: tasty and healthy.

Your spice tolerance must be off the charts then?

Wypepo can't handle spice

yup, better import all 65mil Thais to bring that spicy ethnic cuisine, lol

Please don't. Lol I haven't caught up on 90 day fiance to see more Thai thotery.

that show is suprisingly accurate on thailand

What show?

90-day fiance. They do a bunch of different countries. It's pretty funny

Ok

They all have made me angry.

It's a solid on not marrying foreigners and bringing them to America.

they should do the bugman trying to wed the trad lady

That wouldn't work.

@nuPlissken so they tried to milk you of your money too?

you mean the dowry?

yeah, that's normal. especially if the woman is from a poor family (this for Thai-Thai marriages too)

if the woman is from a rich family, and the man is not, the woman's family gives the groom a wad of cash and gold to display at the wedding, and then the woman's family gives it to the daughter secretly. That happened at my friend's wedding where his wife's family is one of the big mafia families in the south, lol

in India the woman gives money to the man, now that's what I'm talkin' about
