If At First You Don’t Succeed, Thai Again

Guest: “Kamsamnida!”

Me: “Excuse me, sir?”

Guest: “Did I not pronounce that right? Kamsamnida! It means ‘thank you,’ doesn’t it?”

Me: “Oh! I’m sorry, I’m Taiwanese, not Korean.”

Guest: “Oh! I’m so sorry! Wow! Taiwanese, eh? Is Thai food good? I’ve always wanted to try Thai food! Teach me how to say ‘Thank you’ in Thai?”
