 | | There's this new language they're speaking here in Chiang Mai, it sounds a bit odd but it's great fun. |
 | | My friend Benny speak it quite well, I hear him all the times with his girlfriend, "Why you not go market today," "I give money, but no have beer in fridge." Heck, she speaks better English than I do, but the old bugger seems to have a brain impediment when it comes to Asians. |
 | | New important words like 'len game' and 'sanook' can be used along with 'mia farang' and, of course, 'mai pen rai', which could mean almost anything from 'OK, so I admit there were no weapons of mass destruction' to 'sorry, a refund is totally out of the question'. |
