The Sign Language

I would have learned this upfront :)

Thank god that our guide knew English. Otherwise it would have been a tough time to stay in Thailand.

Majority of the Thailand people don't know English. Thai is the official language. 

And the problem is that you have to learn the Sign Language. Convey what you want through actions and drawings. I must say that it is tough.

When we wanted to go to the nearest metro station and when tried to hire a tuk-tuk, that was the worst time I stumbled upon the language barrier.

It took nearly 15 minutes for me to make him understand that I want to go to the metro station. I even made the sound of the train and the hand movement to make him understand. And at the 20th minute he got angry with me and left. 

Did I look like a loser in that street. I think so.

It's like a foreigner in Kerala and asking for something to a guy who don't know English  The spectators thinks that the foreign guy is either mad or not eligible to be in Kerala :)

Best thing that works there is to have the visiting card or the picture of a location and show them. That worked for me 85% of the time.
