They respond with a polite "khrup pom" which I assume means "same to you too".

I'll be back there by this time tomorrow but my Thai still sucks.
I also wonder why, when I did the same... my T-ruk laugh uncontrollably

You sure looks like you ar going to have a ball of a time, as your Thai (they)still suck..... u dry....

sa nuk, sa nuk......
