I think what he was trying to say is:

It cost only 100 baht! Can you believe that? But you could not find better looking boys anywhere and there are often thousands of them on some nights, coming from all over Thailand and they are looking for fun and may be meet a guy like you! Go up the front near the stage if you want to hook up with a boy. It's like a massive free GoGo bar but with better looking boys in many cases. All of them are drinking and having great fun and wanting you to partake in the festivities.

 

See details here for Friday, 5th October show. 10 pm best time to arrive. Take a few boys with you and you will find it's one of the best night of your stay in magical Thailand. Or, go by your self and you will never feel lonely there as it is one of the best places to meet new friends!

Thank god we now have a translator. Michael you place in heaven is assured, and cudos to your ability to grasp and understand the obscure.

[Bob]

Thank you, Michael, for decoding the "obscure" (too kind a word, KT!) into something that has a modicum of correct English, spelling, and punctuation.

 

The music, normally spelled "morlam" or "morlum" in English and spelled *********** in Thai, is what one would call traditional music or even folk music that originated in Laos and Isaan. The music partially migrated to the "big cities" when the poor Isaan folk moved there to work and the music apparently tugs at their heartstrings for home. For me, I like it (it's normally somewhat soothing) although much of it sounds the same. Sometimes it's amazing to hear some of the morlam singers "warble" in every stanza similar to the way Aretha Franklin "warbled" in soul music. (I don't think "warble" is the right word but hope you get the drift).

Wow how amazing you guys can't work out what I'm saying?

May be you have some sort of dyslexia or are just on a wind up, of course you did not see the link at the bottom, that would reveal all?

And, to all a good night!

You really are making fun at my iphone4s as I spoke this post into it and reading it back, it's still eligible, so may be if I write in Braill, you should be able to find your way to the Molum show, don't miss it your be glad you made the effort, and got out more

Has the IPhone 4S really been out 20 years already?

 

No, I was not making fun of you for sure as I always love your posts. But, many of them are unreadable and when that happens, people miss good information. I just tried to help a little. My apologies if you feelings were hurt.

Malapropisms are supposed to be witty. But clearly you are not aware of that!

 

Not being a smartphone user, I did not know they had a dictation function. But if the following is what an iPhone comes up with following dictation - with its misuse of capitals, splitting of words, insertion of a single capital letter into a word etc,. then I'm running a mile from iPhones -

 

If you have. Never Been . . . you could not find better looking Boys thousands of them . . . loOking for fun a with a boy, it's like a massive free GoGo bar . . . Take a few. Boys with you . . . the best. Night of your stay in thailand

 

I'm curious, though. Continually writing that childish gobbledygook must take some considerable effort. What kicks do you get out of it, Mr. HeyGay?

[Guest thaiworthy]

What kicks do you get out of it, Mr. HeyGay?

 

The kicks he deserves, preferably one in the pompous gluteous maximus.

[Guest HeyGay]

As long as you read my post as it seems to be quite popular , and you get my name correct, I get a big kick out of writing and giving those not in the know information of interest, sorry if a few of you have to strain to read what I'm saying, I know buying new pairs of glasses, can be quite exspensive for some poor soles;)

 

I know some people love a bit of a drama with me, but please don't forget,

Take a look at all the dramas of Molem TONIGHT same as when you read my posts, your be glad you did?

I am often surprised by native English speakers how fussy they are about the proper use of English.

 

For me the post of LMTU is perfectly clear and understandable.

 

 

Another thing that always surprises me is that many Thai boys find me easier to understand than some of my Canadian and USA friends. Even my knowledge of the English language is far from perfect.

 

I believe we should appreciate all the posters who supply good and useful information.

It may seem fussy to you, but guys whose first language is English do not appreciate reading sloppy spelling mistakes and bad syntax (grammar). Same as hearing a native English speaker who punctuates every other few words with "you know" or a modern trend to inject the word "like" quite inappropriately (IMO). There's no excuse for an English-speaker to be inarticulate or use bad or foul language. I dislike the tendency for younger people to end a sentence as if they are asking a question. And I could go on and on and bore the pants off everybody! Please note I am generalising here and not addressing my comments to any individual poster. The main point I am trying to get over is that native English speakers are not fussy, they just dislike it when their beautiful language is abused.

Fair enough, it shows you are a tolerant and accommodating chap.

 

Another thing that always surprises me is that many Thai boys find me easier to understand than some of my Canadian and USA friends. Even my knowledge of the English language is far from perfect.

 

I suspect that is because you speak more slowly than a native English speaker and you probably have an accent which is an easy one for Thai people to understand - some of us native speakers talk quite quickly so anyone listening whose grasp of English isn't too great will find it hard to fully comprehend, plus some accents are harder to follow than others. They may get the drift, but not the specifics.

 

Fountainhall in a recent post gave an example of an American woman from the southern states who was teaching English in a Thai school. The kids couldn't understand her (according to her anyway).

 

I believe we should appreciate all the posters who supply good and useful information.

 

Agreed

[Guest HeyGay]

Sorry about the grammar snobs, I think you should get with it, now days so many speed writing its obvious as said here you have been left behind most sane people can understand my grammar or iPhones ?

 

Must apologize to all those who made an effort to go to Morlun show, after all the dramas here with some people froffing at the mouth, like a pack of rabbid wolves who can smell blood, it was a wash out with 2 feet of rain in one hour, the roads of Pattaya are rivers tonight so no sign of a drain working, if there is any at all?

[Rogie]

Not quite clear who you are apologising to! Are you equating fussy people with grammar snobs? It is true few people like snobs, except for the snobs themselves, and they probably have little inkling how much they irk others. I grant you, grammar snobs can indeed be irritating, but it depends. If you reckon a person who values precision and accuracy in the English language as a snob, simply because he does, then he is no snob in my book. People who attack snobs, or even worse, accuse people of being one when they are not, are just as bad as a dyed-in-the-wool genuine blue-rinse snob.

 

Not clear what you mean by speed writing. If you are comparing the way people write nowadays with traditional methods then of course things have changed. Beautiful cursive script (no longer taught in many schools) has given way to ugly un-joined up writing. And that is if they can be bothered to pick up a pen or pencil. The computer keyboard and the text function on phones has already sounded the death knell of the handwritten letter, the billet-doux, etc., with perhaps just the kind you send to somebody on the occasion of a bereavement remaining.

 

Must apologize to all those who made an effort to go to Morlun show, it was a wash out with 6" of rain in one hour, the roads of Pattaya are rivers tonight?

 

I've never been to a Morlam (let's see if Bob's Thai script in his post #4 can be copied and pasted . . .หมอลำ ), but I have heard they are popular. I am sorry to hear it got spoiled by the heavy rain.

Rogie; perhaps speed writing is simply typing in the words quickly without careful thought to grammar or spelling? Like some artists who just slop paint on canvas and expect the viewer to interpret the results or people who toss on any combo of clothing without thought as to their appearance? Actually there is excellent voice recognition software which will quickly and accurately convert spoken language into written text although it may have some difficultly with homophones and fem-voiced boys. This software can even learn to recognize regional and national accents.

There is obviously speed-writing and speed-writing! I do not touch type - a skill I know I should have tried to master decades ago - and I type too fast. Sometimes I find my fingers are either behind or ahead of my thought process and I have inserted completely the wrong word. Fortunately, a quick check prior to clicking the ‘Post’ button gets rid of most.

 

Look across a variety of gay Thailand sites and there are a lot of examples of misspellings, bad grammar and inaccurate punctuation from posters who, one assumes, have English as a first language. That’s surely all perfectly understandable. Is not the important issue communication? As long as you get your point across, fine.

 

In several recent threads, though, there are plenty of examples of what is definitely not mistyping or speed typing without thought, as referred to by Koko. “coming from all over thailand, loOking for fun” is an example. Not having a capital T in Thailand is perfectly understandable. Closing a parenthetical phrase with a comma after Thailand, shows an excellent understanding of grammar. Having one 'o' in “loOking” as lower case and one in upper case, however, requires a deliberate action that cannot be explained as either mistyping or speed typing - or even voice dictation, the more so when Thailand has no upper case T!

 

Other examples: “no Mention of pattaya to Siam Reap”, “about to Be sold”, "Never Been to". And I am curious about the question mark at the end of many sentences. On my keyboard that requires use of two fingers whereas a full stop is just one finger. Much simpler. It again gives the impression of being deliberate.

 

And yet posters who we know are not native English speakers, write posts which have far more accurate English. Whilst native English speakers may consider such idiosyncracies a mere affectation rather than an attempt to create a persona, any Thai speakers trying to read posts are likely to find it a lot more difficult. We have had at least a couple of Thais make posts, and I for one wish we had many more. I really would like to get a Thai slant on many of the subjects in this Forum. I doubt if gobbledegook posts help in that direction. As for gobbledegook posts being popular, I cannot be the judge of that. I have noted in recent days that on another site, there is an enquiry going on as to why certain threads to which one poster contributes have more than 2000 hits in less than 50 hours, whereas all the others are in merely double digits! Popularity is often in the eye of the beholder, one assumes - or perhaps the poster?

 

But back to written Engish. Clearly some posters, again to take Koko’s analogy, merely slop the words on the page and expect the reader to interpret the results. To each his own!

 

All that said, though, the OP's posts on this thread have not required much interpretation and the information about the morlum was certainly useful. Had I been in Pattaya and had the rain stayed away, I certainly would have gone.

[Guest HeyGay]

The last paragraph would have made your post much more readable, but thanks anyway .
