Eddie bought his customer dinner and here's a short conversation:
Customer was smiling sweetly after talking on the phone in Thai.
Eddie: Your family called you?
Customer: *shakes head* A-DULT-E-RY
Eddie: *gasps*
Customer: Adultery
Sometimes in Thailand, sinning is so in-your-face.
Eddie... the person is his "kik" (pronouced as "geek4"). A "kik" is more than friend but less than a "faen", similar to lover. I've the worst experience with this term. Anyway, it's not so serious (like an adulterer) so you can try using the term with your Thai counterparts. Some may be really impressed. =)
