ํYou Can Read Thai




Who will be the first to write the English meaning of the pink word on the sign? It's probably much harder than I think, but it's probably much easier than you think. Double click on the picture to enlarge it.

  1. It is, indeed, bingo. I told you it wasn't that hard. Actually, I think the explanation of where the vowels go was probably misleading. Certain ones go on top, other go under, others go in front, others go after. But some sounds are made up of dipthongs and part is before part after, or on top and after, etc. Sort of like "not" changes to "note" when the e is added at the end.

  2. Good try Ropi but Independent had it right. You are right that the o sound is physically before the g sound, but it (โ) is one of the vowels that you put before the consonant. So

    โก is pronounced 'go.'
