Thomas je te félicite et j'espère que tu trouveras ton chemin. Un certain nombre de thaï t'encourage à devenir acteur. Tu devrais essayer pour le fun. Tu es aussi thaï que français 👏👍
If a person has been living in Thailand for 20 of their 22 years, it comes as no surprise or really of any interest that they speak Thai as well as they do...

You'd be surprised at how many foreigners who have lived here longer than that but still can't speak Thai 😉

yea, but if you come to Thailand at 2 years old and at 22 speak Thai like a native Thai, there is nothing particularly special about that.@@AmericanThaiGuy

@Ned88Man what's your point? Commenting to say my guests "aren't anything special"? Cheers mate. Thanks.

No, my point is how kind of ridiculous and frankly insulting it is when people say something on this page like ว้าวเขาพูดภาษาไทยได้ชัด or พูดไทยชัดมากเหมือนคนไทยเลย... Of course he would if he has been here since he was 2, it would be odd if he didn't... My comment is simply in response to those particular comments, of which there are numerous, that seem to hold it up as though it's some incredible feat. There is a touch of xenophobia in that sort of reaction to be honest "wow, who knew a westerner could speak Thai!" I shudder to think of how it would go down and be perceived if Americans/NES were to say something along those lines about the English language ability of an Asian person living in the US/UK etc since early childhood..I think we would all kind of be perplexed as to why it would be seen as something extraordinary.. Has nothing to do with anything personal about your guests. Sorry if I caused offense. @@AmericanThaiGuy

@Ned88Man I wouldn't say it's xenophobic, I just think it's unusual for foreigners who live in Thailand to speak Thai like a native speaker especially if they've been here for a short time. Most of my guests have only been here a few years and their decision to assimilate and appreciate Thai culture is unusual and if they can do it well it's quite impressive considering how difficult it is for native English speakers to speak Thai. It's a small feat but something I believe they can be proud of and deserve praise for. I don't know, maybe the point is to encourage others to do the same but that's just my perspective and the purpose of my podcast besides just discussing various topics to let Thai people know what we might think. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
