Given that the English are not disposed to learning foreign languages I am developing a system for farangs to be understood in Thailand by speaking English only.

The pronunciation may not be exact, but its as good as you will get from the average Englishman.

The following are some basic phrases. All that is required is to remember the Thai meaning for the English phrase.

All suggestions for inclusion in this innovative publication will be gratefully received.
