LOL no no, it's a custom in thailand!! i was just there this summer and i have everyone calling me p' when i'm younger than them. it's basically a sign of respect towards people. and when you call them p' it's like you're respecting them. so noi may be doing it to people she isn't so close with, if you're unsure of their age, you always call them p' never call em nong because that's a sign of disrespect in thailand.
a majority of the time, guys that's a lot younger would also get called p' if those people calling them out are a little unfamiliar with those people.

Well...I don't know about that. My sister got marry to this thai's guy. He's 100% (last name: Likitvichit) thai and when he doesn't know people...(even if she or he looks older....but by age he or she might be younger) he tends to call them n'o and not p'e. I think Noi needs to get to the term that she's getting older and accept the fact that she's older. If she has so much respect for others (like some people mentioned here)...than she should use her common sense....you know....people.

I agree. I don't think Noi is calling Kob 'P' in order to make herself look younger. I think it is a sign of respect. Different people respect differently and I believe the majority of the people would use 'P'.
Your brother-in-law is just one guy and sure he tends to call people 'N' instead of 'P' but he's just one guy. Doesn't make it correct. Different people are different. But I really don't think Noi is doing it to make herself look any younger. Gotta look at things on the bright side sometimes.
sine17 can also be right..i mean..Kob can be Noi's senior..in the entertainment industry..
but then again..Noi can also show respect towards kob by calling her P..
for example: my brother-in-law has a friend, and my sister, (the wife) calls the friend..'uncle'..LOL..while the friend calls her..'pee'..yeah..confusing..(once i think about it, this situation doesn't really relate to what we're talking about..but LOL..i just wanted to put it in)..
but yeah..different ppl are different..but it's better to look on the bright side..

well, its not a big problem for Noi to call Kob as P'Kob. Thai people takes that word as RESPECT.
beside that.....Film is younger than Kob, that's why Noi mention Kob as P'Kob...because that was when Noi talking with Film.

no......Tang is 3 years older than Noi.Noy ==> 37 year old
Tang ==> 36 year old
Since I am Thai I will say that it is a sign or respect to call someone Pee than nong, especially if you don't know them that well. Besides like Calla already stated, it's not like Noi calls Kob like that all the time, she was only saying it when talking to Film. SO i think it is rude that people are saying Noi needs to use her common sense when she was. Don't be offended, it's just the truth. And I have been to thailand many times in my life too and am certain that people call others as Pee as a sign or respect and honor, not to make them look younger.

well, there are those types of people who are 18 and goes around calling everyone nong. it's something about money, power and respect. people tend to call people their subordinates when they have more money or they at least "think" they are more superior. but seriously, if you do go out and walk the streets in thailand, i gurantee you 100% people will call you p' when you look 18-20 but they are in the 20s. when everything comes, it's always p' first.
yea, common sense is not to disrespect.Totally Agree with MOILEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noi need to use her common sense.
and yes, like someone mentioned, people tends to refer to the third person again the person they're talking to, so like someone said, she was talking to film, so she was refering to kob as older than film. and i don't think people calls people nong or p' for fashion purposes to tell if they are younger or older, or to make them look younger. but don't get me wrong, there are probably hundreds of people who loves doing it.
