Bangkok Podcast 54: Daniel Fraser

In our continuing series on learning Thai, we're joined by Dan
Fraser - co-founder of Smiling Albino adventure travel company,
film actor, television host, and of course, speaker of Thai. Dan
gives us a very funny and insightful overview of the Thai
language - how he learned it, how it's helped him, and the
nuances and cultural queues that it takes its structure from. Dan
tells us a few of his interesting stories about how Thai has both
confounded and blessed him - from talking about unique
architectural history, to muddling through 2 years of Thai with a
fellow who (as it turns out) knew English, and talking about the
monarchy on camera for his television show Long Krung using the
nuanced and very sensitive dialect reserved for the royal family.


Greg and Tony also go off on a tangent about good western movies,
and recap the great time they had at their one-year anniversary
party at Q Bar.
