New word?

We safely reached Phuket this morning. Quite early. Because the limousine promised to pick us up late (okay it was me who did the ETA wrong), we took our time discussing a 'serious' topic - language.

Me : We need to learn basic Thai's language.

Him : Yeah, that taxi man knows how to say 'Selamat Datang'. (Just like he knew we are Malaysian because of our obvious pretty face haha)

Me : Thailand language is called..... what errr...?

Him : Thai, I guess.

Me : So, you know any Thai's? I only knew Sawadikap. 

Him : Errmmm.... Tom yam. (with so much confidence)

TOM YAM??

Really? Thai's language??

Hahahahaaa.
