Hi, I have read your article about Prague and I am from Prague. I saw your picture drinking
bear. If I had know it, I would have invited you to bier party. What bier is better Czech or
čaang?
I usually don’t drink beer and I have never had Chang Beer before. Thank you for your kind thoughts. 🙂
Actually, I think that “puke” might be the best translation for อ้วก. And I think the word “puke” is simply casual, not offensive. 🙂 I’m guessing both words are onomatopoeic; meaning that both words mimic the sound of someone vomiting.
ขอบคุณค่ะคุณคีธ 🙂
Mod,
What if we order Redbull vodka?
Do you say “redbull wodka” or “krataeng daeng wodka”?
That is correct. Thank you for watching! I am happy to see that you learned something new. 🙂
