Background
As Thailand is being globalized, like many other states, more and more 'foreigners' visit Thailand. As a result, more English is being used, as it's considered a global language.
Thais often have difficulties using English. They prefer to use Thai, their national language. Thai taxi drivers, too, find it hard to communicate with non-Thai passengers.
