Telephone hotlines – Thai Culture
When you are calling one of the many hotlines pick number one when they ask you if you prefer Thai or English. This will be frustrating for a start, but it will teach you to listen through a phone where the quality varies, and it will expose you to a new vocabulary as well. Do it every time. The couple of first times they will want to send you to the English speaking department, but refuse and speak slow and clearly. Don’t let another person tell you what language to use, if you want to improve your Thai you need to speak Thai.
