How long Is Soon

[khonrai]

Hi

we all have a different concept of how long soon is.

Is it days, weeks, months , or years

I also know it depends upon the situation

but I have been finding that thai's concept is very different than western time frame.

I think it has something to do with the phrase "Mai pen rai"!

'Soon', 'I may', and 'someday' are often words of appeasement or procrastination used by people who are not ready to make a decision or change. Example: "I'll be home soon" (if I can tear myself away from the little one). That's a situation any woman would find difficult.

Of course you may have something entirely different in mind when you pose this question. Still, I think it is safe to say that 'soon' means a decision has not yet been made, or there is no end in sight. Pretty soon means 'I'm thinking about it'.

I predict it will all work out fine, even if it means you will be purchasing a ticket pretty soon.
