Having lived in Japan for 2 years, I still did not pick up the language all that well, just enough to get by, besides the fact I had a secretary that could speak both Japanese and English. so I admire any one that can pick up another language. I speak English in every country I go to, as this is the international language of the world. Now some people seem to get on a high if they think there better than some one else, and to me this is a form of elitism. Thailand is more superior economically than Laos, so some narrow neck people get on a high when they put other people below them. I feel there is some Jealousy there, they probably thinking, why has this Laos-Thai woman got a farang man, when a Thai-Thai woman should have the farang man. Now I know your wife still Thai, but in the eyes of other Thai woman, she is like an imported Thai, so they are thinking she is less Thai than them and there jealous because of there elitist attitude.
