3. First 3 were easy, last 2 not so much.

4/5. My mistake and I own up to it as pressed an answer too fast. Again was too easy.

[Poolie]

2/5.

Well, the wife wanted to do this quiz as well.
We agreed on the first 3 Q's.
Q4 she couldn't understand why Malay was used in a Thai quiz, but I digress, and although we agreed, it was a logically thought correct guess.
Q5 we had a total disagreement, but I went with the wife's pick, which was wrong, whereas mine was correct.

So 4/5 for the wife, 5/5 for me.

She was really surprised I logically worked out the correct answer to Q5.
I told her, as I often do, "Don't worry dear, it's not often your right, but this time you were dead wrong".
She thinks it's a compliment and always thanks me.

As my old history teacher would say “ Matthews, if below average was acceptable you would succeed in life, but as it isn’t you won’t “ !!

I always thought this a bit unfair but turns out he was right

I was wondering if Q4 might raise a query or two. So many Thai place names with a Malay origin down south, had to put one in somewhere
