Lucky, can you add Thai script to your phrases (as you did with the last two)? It makes it easier for me to properly say some word with which I am unfamiliar. Well, in theory. My tones are crap. But it is good to know what is the correct one to use. If I could use them. LOL.

 

Thanks,

SD

Too right, I can't get those tones either. Easier for my wife to read it and then just tell me.

 

Maybe make another post titled "get your teruk to teach ya this"

 

Ozzie.
