John Clewley's Popular Pocket Guide to Colloquial Thai, Slang, and Street Conversation

First published in 2001 by bookSiam under license from Tuttle Publishing/Yenbooks, Making Out in Thai by John Clewley is a fun, practical, and pocket-sized language guide designed to bridge the gap between textbook Thai and real-world conversation.

Moving beyond formal grammar and rigid tourist phrases, this handbook focuses on how modern Thai is actually spoken on the street. Formatted with easy-to-read romanized phonetics alongside native Thai script, the book equips readers with conversational slang, informal greetings, humor, flirtation, expressions of affection, body language nuances, and lively banter. Whether navigating nightlife in Bangkok, making friends, ordering food at local night markets, or engaging in casual romance, Clewley's guide provides the informal vocabulary and cultural context needed to communicate naturally and confidently.

Why You'll Love This Book

An entertaining companion for travelers, backpackers, expats, and language enthusiasts, Making Out in Thai offers an approachable way to master modern colloquialisms and cultural etiquette. Fans of Tuttle's popular Making Out in... series, travel phrasebooks, and readers seeking authentic cultural immersion in Thailand will find this compact volume invaluable.
