Londoner Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Published about twelve years ago; "Thai for Gay visitors." Damned if I can find my copy! The slang was up-to-date at the time, as my boyfriend confirmed. I bought it in Pattaya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I know only one gay sex Thai word : 'tip" Jasper, hanan, floridarob and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llz Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Is it this one : "Thai for gay tourists", Paiboon Editions (published in 2001) ? Still some paperback editions available on Amazon (for 61 $) https://www.amazon.com/Thai-Gay-Tourists-Language-Thailand/dp/1887521119 Most of the words are quite ordinary, so would be totally still usable now. There is a short "offensive vocubalary" section which is more incomplete than out-of-date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12is12 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 ???? I m a newbie. As I wrote, all my summaries were based on research, not experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Don’t sell yourself short on this. This, too, can be researched just as you demonstrated with massage parlors and boy bars. It would be a real service to the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhb Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 While on this subject, what does sa-moke mean, and what's the derivation of this word? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks llz...that's the one. But beware; I thought I'd be smart with my boyfriend whom I'd only known for a short time, by repeating some phrases in my execrable Thai. He was not amused...and I quickly stopped. On the other hand, I also bought, much later, a book of Thai idiomatic phrases and used some of the "romantic" phrases on him. He was charmed and delighted.

pong Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Merci ilz, that makes me suddenly rich considering that I also have at least still 3 old copies (different editions) of the old ''handbook'' TMOT-took them with me even though I discarded most old books when I recently changed houses/moved. Now selling via ebay or amazon and even finding someone willing to pay that for it and then shipping by mail across the customs........much trouble. From that time same editor are 2 books which offer in english translated short reader-stories from Thai gay mags of that time (think pre 2000), ''the dove that coos'' where about every story gives yet another Thai wording for the basics of what we all here like too much. 'riding in the tunnel''' or ''enter the back door'' are likely best known. Bird with 2 eggs is also the common bahasa slang. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
