Robertson's Practical English-thai Dictionary

This conveniently sized dictionary contains everything you will need to make yourself understood in simple spoken or written Thai. The words and phrases have been carefully chosen to cover everything you are likely to need when talking with Thai people on everyday topics and to give you the most common and practical ways to express in Thai what you want to say. Each Thai word and phrase is given both in authentic Thai script and in a form using the roman alphabet to show you clearly how to pronounce it correctly, including the all-important tones. A useful Appendix includes lists of numbers, days of the week and months of the year, and sets out how to tell the time in Thai. It also explains the system of using 'classifiers' or 'counters' when talking about numbers of objects, and gives guidance on the complications of how to say 'yes' and 'no' in Thai.
