Many Thais know the mechanics of the language better than native speakers, but forcing them to use it is usually a mutually frustrating exercise in futility
A long time ago I was interviewing some young Thais for the position of cub reporter. I'd been through 10 candidates and tunnel vision was starting to set in.
This was neither the fault of the candidates nor related to any residual effects of recreational drugs I may have been taking, such as Tylenol or Lomotil. It's just that three hours non-stop of being nice and careful with my English was taking its toll.
