      Hi Vinz,
      Good question! we don’t have the exact meaning as “no pain no gain” , I would say the closest one is อาบเหงื่อตากน้ำ means working very hard to archive goals.
      Hope this help

    Hi,

    I was wondering if you have a thai equivalent to the english quote, ” not all those who wander are lost”

    Thanks so much,

    It would be great if you could put spaces in between the Thai (character) words so I could look up each word and see how it relates. Presently I use Google translate and the sounds are too close together for me to understand

    what does the proverb “as the world goes by well go on forever” meaning of it

    Give an interpretation of your proverb

    Does the proverb reveal a value that is similar or different from typical US values? Is this proverb consistent with your own personal values?

    Give a situation in which this proverb might be used.

    Could this value be perceived as negative by some people or in certain situations?

    please help!

      I would say “เห่อ/hèr”, is used to describe a person who is loving new owning or crazy about it. it can be used with objects, person etc.
      เขาเห่อแฟนใหม่/ kăo hèr faen mài / he/she is crazy about this new boyfriend/girlfriend (want to see the boyfriend/girlfriend every day, show of the boyfriend/girlfriend to friends, talk about the boyfriend/girlfriend all the time etc)
      มานีเห่อรองเท้าใหม่ / maa-nee hèr rong táo mài/ Maanee is in love with her new shoes (wearing it everyday, showing it to everyone etc.)

    Putting lipstick on a pig… same as…. dying a cat to sell
    Still a pig, even though the appearance has improved slightly.

    Hello! Any Thai proverbs about tackling a long journey, overcoming hurdles and obstacles, taking it one step at a time? Like the eating an elephant one bite at a time one, thanks!

    Hi, can anyone please help me translate a frase into Thai for a tattoo.
    I want something like this: Make the most of opportunities, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
    Would this be ok: ตีเหล็กเมื่อแดง ของสูงแม้ปองต้องจิต มิคิดปีนป่ายจะได้หรือ
    Thanks!!!

    if you have mint growing, even at this time of year, boil up a good couple of handfuls, cover and leave to go cold. Then strain and mix 70 mint infusion and 30 cheap shampoo. Looks a dingy colour but doesn’t half work well and leaves hair squeaky clean.

    Like to revisit your site every once in awhile to see how creative people can be! Our camp went well and, as usual, the best activities came at the last minute: I could tell that the kids we had needed more games than I had planned so we threw together a potion relay. Each house had a box of ingredients (a feather, marble, plastic spider, hot pepper, balloon, vial of blue koolaid, etc) that they had to get into the main cauldron in the middle of the yard. But they could only use their tongs or mouths. Seeing these kids carrying a marble with tongs or spitting their koolaid into the pot was hilarious!! Messy and fun!! Also, it turned out to be about 100 degrees that week so we also played “Crossing the Black Lake”. I bought a 50 ft. roll of black plastic sheeting (at Lowe’s) and had my helpers cover it with liquid dish soap and set the sprinkler up. The kids all lined up on one side and their Prefect (my teenage helpers) had to get each person from their house to the other side…by carrying, pulling, sliding. It basically just turned into a 30 minute slippery wrestling match. All fun and not too rough, of course, but just what they needed to cool off. Even though this was your last year for HP camp…hope you leave the site up for everyone to continue to exchange ideas. It’s great. Thanks!
