Lor Luah or ror rua? Then they smile and pronounce it correctly.

That's why I like to listen to the Thai news. Correct pronounciation.

Town house and bungalow being just 2 of them. Why the garan over the N in town and the S in house? It took me several minu...

The next couple of months would have seen 4 family members plus 4 friends visit me from the UK.
