It's so hard to tell without hearing them or seeing it in Thai script, or even having any context for it. here's my best guess with the very limited information you have provided "Crazy, sorry" Baa Baa Boo Boo means crazy and Khor thoot means sorry. I could be anything though really.

Only thing I can think of is "Thet" or Tate" means clit and is frequently used in a vulgar manner to insult someone.

So this phrase could be an insult like - you crazy clit. However I don't know how the kor fits in.

I checked with my Thai girls already, it's actually บ้าบอคอแตก (baa baaw khaaw dtaaek) which means very crazy.. (The khaaw dtaaek basically means broken neck)

 

Thanks guys.

I always avoid trying to answer translation requests as my Thai is still at too early a stage to add anything useful. As you have now received an answer that you are happy with, I will throw in a semi serious contribution.

 

My girl speaks Thai with a very Surin accent, which does confuse me at times, one of the words she uses can be transcribed as baa meaning bpai which is of course the word for the verb go

 

2nd word bor can be the thai word for seat cushion

 

kor = I would like

 

thet well that could be แทะ tai ( r ) (as in tear a piece of paper but not pronouncing the r and the vowel short) meaning nibble or gnaw on

 

So putting this all together "Let's go over to the seat (or cushion) I'd like a nibble"

 

Sorry this is a very tongue in cheek reply stretching things to limits. But it does show how out of context phrases written in roman script can be interpreted in a range of different ways.

 

Oh it is fun, isn't it?

No it wasn't really meant to be a serious suggestion, just showing how imprecise transcriptions etc can lead to a wide variety of meanings. also attempting to be humorous. And obviously failing....

But...what do I know?

I'll have to admit that I didn't read your post fully, I now see..... So even though I still not laughing my ass of while roling on the floor, I'd say you didn't fail :GoldenSmile1:

But your barber shop quartet was a little funnier.

 

That was meant to be the serious contribution ;-)

I learned Thai when I was living for several years down the Deep South and whenever I went up to Bangkok and spoke Thai with people there they'd break up with laughter and call their friends to come listen. Without being aware of it I had acquired a Southern accent and dialect. I suppose it would be similar to a Thai going to live in Glasgow or Liverpool and learning English there and picking up the accent.

I think the OP is saying "crazy enough (poo_^) sorry!

 

But need to see the Thai script to be sure. Easy to mispell Thai phoenically.

I'll ask here my question here instead of starting another thread. Does anyone know what Kiniyow means? it was used in context of...'I think my sister is Kiniyow'...I tink it might mean 'cheapskate' or 'Miser' maybe.
