Majestic Appartments???

As an aside and not really 'off topic', my Khmer wife and I were in Shanghai many years ago and we took our client's Project Manager and some of his staff out to eat in a Thai restaurant. He had already said previously that the service in the restaurant was slow, orders cold, and you were lucky not to get the desert first. I assured him that my wife would sort it out and, in the event, the staff were mainly Khmer and even came from a village in the wife's tambon so it should have been a piece o' piss.
Not a hope in hell. The appetiser arrived with most of the main course and the rice arrived cold after the desert.
Cheers

Niang......
Yes, understand your point but when my wife asked her name a couple of years back she said Niang, but, hey, they've all got several names, the M-I-L calls my Mrs Niang too!

I also understand that, whereas "Nong" can be used address male or female (or 3rd gender), "Niang" is only used with younger females (under 45!).

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CoCo, a khun thai told me this but maybe it was in jest.
Apologies in advance.
As you have been through the mill a few times - is it true that the affectionate term for bitch is miya (pronounced mee-ya) = wife ?
Is this a term utilized effectively during 'matrimonial bliss' or carnal sin ?
Or do you think that is just an a-mer-eye-khan thang ?
Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone else would like to chime in feel free to do so.

Dear coffee,
I am not the forum linguist but I would be inclined to keep references to "Darling".
Care needs to be exercised if using the mia word. As you say, a term used to describe a wife. Maybe more often used as "mia noi" to refer to a second or minor wife (not to be confused with a girlfriend, Gik or barfine!
Referring to the missus as "mia luang", original or first wife, may infer that there is a "noi" in the background.
My teerak tells me that I don't want a mia noi because they are high-maintenance, highly sexed and 'up their own arse'.
This statement caused me to reconsider my own position..............................

Really CoCo, I thought 'Darling' (pron dah-ring) meant ATM.
Example: When she says, "Darling, I love you so much." I reply, "How much ?" Think1

You are probably mishearing when she calls you "" Dah - ling""
... which is, of course, a monkey's arse.....
