There are so many - maybe I'll make note of the ones I know and people can add to that. RQ Diary had a post about that, too - I think.khunbaobaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658046085295050474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-19598107452284443782010-09-06T18:55:21.673-07:002010-09-06T18:55:21.673-07:00Bobey, who, as you know is not Thai but lives in B...Bobey, who, as you know is not Thai but lives in BKK always says the someone is coming to "pick up me" instead of "pick me up".

He had many adorable sayings but the one that sticks in my mind is the time I rang him and he told me that there was "big raining" and that "it rain like dog and cat".<br /><br />Now I have heard it said that "it's raining like cats and dogs" but I like his version so much more!Rayhttp://nattymarketing.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-75849462774497886102010-09-05T21:13:16.021-07:002010-09-05T21:13:16.021-07:00Although I'd named the file as Wat Po, it'...Although I'd named the file as Wat Po, it's three images of the palace stitched together into one, I believe. It's embarassing not to be 100% sure, though - I've been to both so many times.
