I Explored Thailand's Smallest Province 

This is a super nice comment! Thank you so much 🙏 Will continue to enjoy Thailand!

Helping each other (rather than competition) makes her peaceful smiling. Kudo to this lovely woman.

Awesome stuff Kevin! Glad you have decided to take the plunge. Good luck 👍

Check out the book "Read Thai in Ten Days" by Bingo Lingo. Out of any other Thai alphabet learning resource, it has been the most intuitive and helpful for me. The author teaches the alphabet, pronunciation, and tones in a very unique and digestible way! I went through just the first four chapters over the course of a couple weeks and then came to Thailand and I'm am able to sound-out just about any sign or restaurant menu now. I still don't know the vocab to know what most of those signs mean haha but it feels so good to be able to decipher the alphabet at least.

Hey Mate! Send through a message on IG (thaitalkpaddy) and maybe we can organise something in time!

Ranong has the lowest population number so you are not very wrong. 😊

A great question! One I don’t really have a sound answer for 😂 perhaps it just looks more readable for non-Thai speakers

I think it's because of the Thai Romanization. It’s always met in government documents. It drives me who is a Thai crazy too. I don't understand why they have to accept this without considering correct pronunciation. This causes problems about spelling and pronunciation both with Thai people and those who are learning the Thai language. For me, I like to spell and write as close to correct pronunciation if it's not a formal document.

Here is a (rather long) answer to your question: A "stop" is a consonant which is produced by momentarily stopping the flow of air through the nose and mouth. A stop is "aspirated" when it is followed by a puff of air, and "unaspirated" when it is not. A stop is "voiced" when the vocal chords begin to vibrate before the consonant is released, and "unvoiced" when the vocal chords begin to vibrate after the consonant is released. In Thai, they have four unvoiced aspirated stops, usually written as kh, ch, th and ph (they sound like the English c in cat, ch in chat, t in tap and p in pat), they have four unvoiced unaspirated stops, usually written as k, ch, t and p (these consonants do not exist in English) and they have two voiced unaspirated stops, written as d and b (in English we have four of these: g as in get, j as in jet, d as in debt, and b as in bet). The sounds g as in get, and j as in jet ,do not exist in Thai.

@@Stephen-New Thanks, but if g and j sounds don't exist in Thai, how do you pronounce, for example, nine and seven in Thai? Those sure sound like g and j to me.

@@skipmcilvaine The English g and j are the closest English approximations to the Thai consonants ก and จ, but they are not the same because g and j are voiced but ก and จ are unvoiced. In a similar way, the English consonants d and b are voiced, but the Thai consonants ต and ป (often written as t and p) are not voiced (and there is no English equivalent).

Thanks for watching friend!
