JD,
Not heard it very often myself, and I've been in Thailand (mostly living in BKK) for 6 years. One of the other students brought it up and the teacher explained it as I said above. Guess unless you are listening for it, or, as you said, in the right situation, then you might not hear it. I agree, everyone has different experiences. Some people I know think I am really advanced with my Thai compared to them, and I vice versa; it is mostly down to vocab we pick up that others have not yet experienced. Vocab in a slum is not going to be the same as used in a palace; to take two extremes. If your hobby is model railways and talk to Thais and read Thai about that, then you are not going to have the same vocab as someone who only talks to bar girls about sick buffaloes.
