Don't assume that if you order food in Thailand in Thai that they'll understand you. Twice in Koh Tao we ordered in Thai and the response was that the person wasn't Thai and didn't speak very much Thai. Probably less of a problem on the mainland than in the islands, I assume.
People here answer the phone "hello", or at least a Thai sounding version of that. Or at least that's what it sounds like to me. Not sure if that's actually an interesting observation to anyone else, but it amused me a bit.
Ok, maybe I'm stretching for things here, but we're waiting for the train and killing some time with random babbling on this blog (after some good food at the night market in Chumphon) seemed as good a thing to do as anything else.
