Anyway, I would like to "correct" your statement:

Bangkok dialect is not exactly the standard Thai language, but rather very near to the standard Thai language. eg. KHRAP is pronounced as "KARP" in the bangkok dialect, whereas it is still "KHRAP" in standard Thai [the one that is stdied in schools and even up to Universities] Something like the Beijing dialect is the basis of standard Hanyu [or Putonghua] but standard Hanyu is not 100% Beijing dialect.

Actually, it is termed as "standard Thai language" and not "actual Thai language".

The Isan dialect is a near relative or offshoot of the Lao [or Laotian] language. Most of the Laotian people can understand Thai [very much similar to Thai]
Lao or Laotian (pronounced in Laotian as "phasa lao" similar ka?) is a tonal language of the Tai-Kadai language family. It is the official language of Laos, and also spoken in the northeast of Thailand, where it is usually referred to as the Isan language.

Take a look at this comparison of Laotian and Thai:

* LAOTIAN> "sao ngam kwa dok" The lady is prettier than a flower.
* THAI> "puying shuai gua dokmai"

* LAOTIAN> "sao ngam thisut" The lady is the prettiest.
* THAI > "puying shuai tisoot"

Thus, many Thai people of Issan origin, may detest being identified as ISSAN people as many Thai still consider Laos or Laotians as lower class people.

I would suggest you all learn the standard Thai. Here is a very good website for those who want to write, read and listen to Thai pronounciations:

thai-language.com - Dictionary

For those who want to learn many "love" words which are not found in Thai-English dictionaries, please procure this book with CD:

"Thai for Lovers" by Nit & Jack Ajee [ISBN 1-88752-04-6] or visit:

Thai & Lao Language Services - Translation and Interpretation

Trust me..my command of Thai language went up sky-high and of course with frequent practices in Danok

proffffff.... you are the man le..... when can i learn thai from you in danok??? drink on me... shuai mai?
