For those who don\u2019t already know, planking is the recent fad that involves a person laying face down with a stiff body. It seems lame\/silly, but when you see pictures of planking in amusing situations\/places it can be quite fun (as fun as a short-lived fad can be).<\/p>\n
Anyway, the word for planking in Thai is the same as in English, \u0e41\u0e1e\u0e25\u0e07\u0e01\u0e34\u0e49\u0e07<\/strong> plang1 ging3. To say lay down with a still body, you say nawn1 ning3 ning3 \u0e19\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e19\u0e34\u0e48\u0e07\u0e46<\/strong>. To go into a particular body position is called tum1 taa3 \u0e17\u0e33\u0e17\u0e48\u0e32<\/strong>, where tum means to \u2018make\u2019 and taa means \u2018body position\u2019. Whatever the position is, it must be jeng5 \u0e40\u0e08\u0e4b\u0e07<\/strong>, meaning \u2018cool\u2019 (it\u2019s slang).<\/p>\n For example, here is an example song about planking:<\/p>\n
