I just came back from my first trip to the hair salon here in BKK. I tried to ask for a haircut, shampoo and hot oil treatment. I got the haircut, the shampoo, and then she styled and gelled my hair to look like a Thai guy. It looks kind of funny right now. hahaha.
How do I ask for a hot oil treatment in Thai, and also a list of general vocab to use when going to the hair salon would be great.
Thanks.

I wouldn't ask for that.Originally Posted by manned-rake
^What about adding the "hold up two fingers and make a buzzing noise" and see what happens?
With all due respect, can I ask WTF is a 'hot oil treatment'? Ok, so I am bald (and have been since I was 18), so my knowledge of hair procedures is a bit thin, so I have to ask, why would you put hot oil on your hair?
I would love to know the outcome after you deliver this line......
Do you mean this type?
I would be very cautious with Thai salons or so called hairdressers.
goo-stewart.
As a matter of interest how do you ask for ''A wash and a wax polish on your hairless head
'Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.'
No, I wouldn't say that either...save that for the colonic...
Perhaps a better alternative would be "Naman rroan sai pom, Khrap! Just pray they know what it is though because you might get covered in petrol.

Don't get me wrong - I don't want a 'serious' board but I'd like posts to be either genuinely amusing, informative and/ or thought provoking.

Yes Natalie8 that is the kind I mean. I asked for one at the MBK mall but the price they quoted was actually more than what I would have paid in the U.S.!
I have seen some bottles on the shelf that look like over the counter stuff, but it's hard for me to tell if it is what I really want.
Someone on my facebook said this would do the trick in thai: Pom tong gan nuyd num mun.

You'll find that many things cost more here than in the US/Can/UK/Aus
Daniel Bedingfield claimed that his new album is what it would sound like if Sting, Stevie Wonder and Micheal Jackson were in a basement together - I haven't got the album so I'll have to imagine the sound of a blind bloke and a Geordie kicking the shit out of a pedophile.
There's a salon on Rambutree next to Kao San called Shewa. The staff speak English and the prices are pretty good. They'll try and talk you into a million or so treatments that you never knew you needed, though, and generally make you feel like a troglodyte. However, there is a list you can point at to avoid confusion.
Max, who is gonna pay for the treatment?
^^ Please troll in another thread. Thanks.
