agree with Ellinas....if you have the time and patience, learn the thai script. Its a bit intimidating at the beginning but you will find pronunciation so much easier. If you are learning Thai that has been romanized, it will be very difficult to understand the tones.

Its no wonder the Thais are struggling with the English language when you're teaching them colloquial British slang. Trust me "the lot" is slang. But of course, the British assume they invented the English language. Do your research, the English language was created from many different lan...

can i throw in my 2 baht, or bawt, or bpaht

Skip the romanization/transliteration all together and learn the thai alphabet. Its a steep learning curve, but once you know all the consonants and vowels, and tone id's it all makes more sense and you pronounce the words much easier. If your interested, I know a great teacher in Koaw tao..or Kaew ...
