Hello Ploy! Why are your shoes and pants completely wet with water today?
Hello Nat! Haha, today I met very heavy rain when going out on a picnic.
Oho! Went on a picnic at the public park and met heavy rain pouring down?
Yes! We intended to sit and eat food on the pretty green grass, but rain poured down very heavily.
So what did you do next, Ploy? Cancel the picnic and go home right away?
We didn't cancel! We just had to change plans immediately.
Great! Changing plans makes the picnic fun in another way.
Yes! Today our podcast will teach six important vocabulary phrases for changing plans on a rainy day.
Sounds very interesting! What are the six important vocabulary phrases, Ploy?
There are: change plans, it rains, find a dry place, call to tell, eat inside, and good fun.
These six vocabulary phrases are sentences definitely used in daily life.
And in the next segment, I will tell a story about lemongrass sticking tradition of Thai people on rainy days.
Haha, lemongrass sticking is a fun belief of Thai people! Let's listen to the story together.
Nat, do you know that this morning I woke up to prepare chicken sandwiches and fruit in boxes very nicely?
Sounds delicious! And how many friends did you make an appointment with in total?
I made an appointment with four friends at Lumphini Park at exactly noon.
At noon, how was the sky? Was it bright?
At first it was very sunny! But as we were spreading the picnic mat under a big tree, black clouds came immediately.
Then did rain fall down very quickly, Ploy?
Rain fell very heavily! Wind blew so hard that snack boxes and picnic mat almost blew away.
Ouch! Like this everyone must run to find shelter right away, right?
Yes! We ran holding food boxes to find a dry place at the wooden gazebo in the park.
Very lucky that Lumphini Park has a shady gazebo to shelter from rain properly.
Yes! Once inside the gazebo, everyone sat down, sighed, and said we must change plans now.
Changing plans allowed everyone to sit and eat inside the gazebo listening to rain comfortably, right?
Yes! And one friend brought up the topic of sticking lemongrass to stop rain.
Haha, sticking lemongrass to stop rain is a very fun local cultural belief of Thai people.
Nat, can you explain a little bit how sticking lemongrass is done?
Sure! Sticking lemongrass is sticking the stem upside down into dirt to pray for no rain.
But the person sticking lemongrass must be a single lady only, right Nat?
Yes! According to ancient belief, a single lady must stick lemongrass for rain to stop.
Haha today my friend didn't bring lemongrass, so rain didn't stop falling at all.
But even if rain fell, we could still eat snacks and chat in the gazebo happily.
True! Changing plans from sitting on grass to eating inside the gazebo gave a great mood.
Now let's review the six important vocabulary phrases of today in detail, Ploy.
Gladly! The first phrase is 'change plans', right?
Yes! 'bpìian phǎen' means change plans. For example, when it rains we must change plans.
Next, the second phrase is 'fǒn tòk', meaning it rains or rain falls.
Correct! The third phrase is 'hǎa thîi rôm', meaning find a dry place or find shelter.
The fourth phrase is 'thoo bɔ̀ɔk', meaning call to inform friends or tell news to friends.
The fifth phrase is 'kin khâang nai' meaning eat inside, and the sixth is 'sà-nùk dii' meaning it turned out fun.
Every word is very easy to understand! And Nat, what do you like to do when it rains?
For me, if it rains I like staying at home, eating inside chill. I am on Team Nat!
As for me, I like going to sit at a cafe looking at rain outside. I am on Team Ploy!
Haha Team Nat and Team Ploy have different relaxation styles!
Nat, I have a fun number guessing question about rain to ask you too.
Oh guessing fun numbers? Try asking, Ploy!
Nat try guessing, in July what percentage of Bangkok people carry umbrellas with them?
Hmm... I heard that Bangkok people carry umbrellas a lot, I guess fifty percent!
Almost correct! Actually survey results say it's as high as eighty percent!
Eighty percent! Shows that everyone is ready to change plans anytime when it rains.
Yes! Bangkok people prepare very well during the rainy season.
Besides umbrellas, when it rains do Thai people like eating hot food too, Ploy?
Like it very much! When it rains Thai people like eating hot noodles inside shops chill.
Sipping hot soup when it rains is fun and brings so much happiness.
True! If everyone has to change plans, try changing to eat noodles!
This segment is the daily life sentence quiz!
I am ready to answer questions, Ploy! How many questions are there in total?
There are ten questions! Question 1: If black clouds come and water falls from the sky, what do we say?
The answer to the first question is 'fǒn tòk láew khráp Ploy!'
Very good! Question 2: If the park is wet and we must not sit outside, what do we say?
Of course! We must say 'phuak-rao dtɔ̂ng bpìian phǎen khráp!'
Correct! Question 3: If we are about to get wet from rain, what do we tell friends?
For this question, let Nat use the phrase 'hǎa thîi rôm'.
I think we must say 'rîip bpai hǎa thîi rôm gan thə̀ khráp!'
Very good! Question 4: If friends haven't arrived at the park yet, what should we do?
Very easy! The answer is 'phom jà thoo bɔ̀ɔk phʉ̂an thăn-thii khráp!'
Spot on! Question 5: If it rains outside, where do we move to eat food?
For this one I answer 'phuak-rao jà yáai bpai kin khâang nai sǎa-laa khráp!'
Correct! Question 6: After eating food in the gazebo, how does everyone feel?
The answer to this question is 'thúk khon bɔ̀ɔk wâa sà-nùk dii khráp!'
Question 7: If rain falls heavily and we can't play sports outside, what should we tell friends?
I answer 'fǒn tòk láew rao dtɔ̂ng bpìian phǎen bpai lêen khâang nai khráp!'
Very good! Question 8: If a friend asks why we must call, what should we answer?
The answer is 'phom jà thoo bɔ̀ɔk rʉ̂ang bpìian phǎen khráp!'
Exactly right! Question 9: If it rains and we find a dry place, what do we do next?
For this answer 'phoo hǎa thîi rôm jəə phuak-rao gɔ̂ kin khâang nai khráp!'
Final question, Question 10: If it rains this weekend, what will Nat do to make it good fun?
I will change plans and invite friends to eat inside the house for good fun!
Nat answered all questions correctly! Very very smart!
Before parting today, we have a Thai speaking homework for tomorrow for everyone.
What is tomorrow's speaking homework, Ploy?
Tomorrow when it rains, everyone look in the mirror and say out loud three times: 'fǒn tòk láew rao dtɔ̂ng bpìian phǎen khâ'.
For men, say 'fǒn tòk láew rao dtɔ̂ng bpìian phǎen khráp' three times!
Yes! Practicing speaking in front of a mirror will make us speak Thai more confidently.
Don't forget to try doing it! And if you want to stick lemongrass, prepare a lemongrass stem too!
Haha today our time has run out, see you again in the next episode!
Thank you everyone for following and listening! Goodbye!
Thank you and goodbye!
