What does Lee Lie Lote Kwai mean?

The kids at my condo call me Lee Lie Lote Kwai (or something similar) and I have no idea what it means. I think my wife told them to call me it. I've had no luck with Google.

That's a pretty good-natured ribbing from your wife and the kids. "Lee lie lote kwai" is basically "very, very like a buffalo," but "kwai" in Thai slang is more like calling someone goofy or a bit of an airhead, not a full-on insult. Around here, calling someone a buffalo is more about being a gentle giant or a bit slow on the uptake, so they're probably just teasing you for not catching on to something. If you want to play along, next time they say it, you can just nod and say "kwai jing jing" which means "truly a buffalo," and you'll probably get a laugh.

yeah the other replies got it right, "kwai" is buffalo in Thai but in slang it's more like calling someone a lovable dummy. your wife definitely set you up for this one, it's classic Thai family teasing. if you want to mess with them back, next time one of the kids calls you that just say "mai chai kwai, chai khon suay" which means "not a buffalo, i'm a handsome person" - they'll probably crack up

It sounds like they're saying "lii lii lote kwai," which is Thai for "very very like a buffalo." "Kwai" means buffalo, and it's used here like calling someone slow or stubborn, not necessarily mean though. In Thai playground teasing, it's pretty common for kids to say that to someone who's being silly or not getting a joke. Your wife probably told them to call you that as a playful joke since you didn't know what it meant.

yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
