Interesting, isn't.

FYI, my Yellow tambien ban starts with a #6, but this seems to apply to "illegal immigrants or people who are in Thailand on a temporary basis," about what is written on the document.

fibre casing of coconut

ปลอกมะพร้าว ...... pblawk

May I correct this word? It's called "กาบมะพร้าว...kab ma phrao" and I've never heard the word "ปลอกมะพร้าว" before.

Thai airways, Thai smile and Bangkok airways

It's not rice but it is fried mung bean.

It is not instant being brewed in the pots .

Thai iced coffee (Kafae Boran) is made from roasted coffee bean with sugar coated and mixed with sesame.

I think she said 'รักน้อยๆ แต่รักนานๆ - Rak noi noi tae rak naan naan'.

It means 'love a little but in long-term'.

This is "Ya Peung Tam Hai Sia Jai - อย่าเพิ่งทำให้เสียใจ" .

สะดวกอร่อยได้ทุกที่ - easy and delicious everywhere

สะดวกอร่อยทุกเวลา - easy and delicious everytime

มียูโร่ไว้ - have Euro

พกยูโร่ไว้ - carry Euro

ยูโร่คัสตาร์ดเค้ก - Euro Custard Cake

อร่อยทุกที่ทุกเวลา - delicious everywhere and everytime

ยูโร่ - Euro

From the website stated in #2, it spells wrong.

The correct is สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส

Ok, I looked at the Thai embassy site and found a page of links of documents relating to passports. However, they are all in Thai. It has been years since I really studied--can anyone look at the attached form and see if that is the parental consent form?

Thanks!

I translated it for you. Hope this help.

You can go to any amphur/district offices, not limit to the registered area.

And ID card is valid for 6 years, the expiry date will be 1 day before your birthday in that year.

1. Thai ID card

2. Old passport (if any)

Is it someone's surname?

It may be ตระกูลขจรศักดิ์.

Cha Am or Huahin

Chompuu can either be pink (ชมพู) or rose apple (ชมพู่). First syllable mid-tone in both words; second syllable mid and high respectively.

Farang (ฝรั่ง) can either mean an occidental or guava - both pronounced the same way.

When she says "Chompoo is the equivalent of Farang" she might mean in the sense that they are both fruits.

In some parts of southern Thailand, they call guava (ฝรั่ง) as chompoo (ชมพู่).

The kind of pudding, sold in square tin boxes on the trains and along the road BKK-Surat, I cannot remember the name

I think it is khanom Morkaeng, the famous khanom of Phetchaburi province.

dam_n - I'm obviously getting old.

The only part of the OP I could not translate was "FB" - but Joy got it straight away!

Patrick

I know because I'm Thai. FB is abbreviation for facebook used by Thais.

Speaker one: Manta told เจ้ (may be older sister of speaker or the speaker) that She/he had facebook profile but Liat (เลียต) can't find it.

Responder : เจ้ may be wrong. I will ask Manta about it.

Yes I do love lychees and always will, but yes, a very short season. I was one of those love durian on first smell and taste, but it is really a rich high fat food. I find it weird that even though I still feel like I like it, I don't bother buying it anymore.

What is snake fruit ? Thought I had been around a while but never heard of this one

It is ra-gahm (ระกำ).

There is a similar shaped fruit with a green brown skin that when washed you can eat the skin and flesh together - the texture is similar to a pear, has about three solid dark brown stone/seeds in the most of the fruits.

It may be lamud (ละมุด) or Sapodilla.

I'm new this forum and I'm not sure of what I'm doing. I am in Arizona, USA and getting ready to plant some tropical fruit. One of my most wanted and best remembered is a green mango that I had when I was in Thailand in the 1970s. It was not sour! It was green with almost white flesh, very slight yellow tinted. The flavor was lightly mango and mildly sweet. I was all over Thailand and remember being able to get them everywhere. Does this sound like and variety that you know of. I have been all over the internet and have come up with three types (Okrung, Kheio Savoy (Keo Sevoy, Kyo Savoy), Brahm Kai Meu) but I can't find enough information to know which one if any is the one I want. I only have room in my yard to plant one tree so I need to get it right. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks and God Bless

I think Kheio Savoy (เขียวเสวย) is the type you are looking for.

Have you sent the email to Siemens IT Solutions (SIS) Thailand? This company hires many expats and parent company is German company, so your German is advantage. Note that I'm not sure it still uses HR of Siemens Limited Thailand (SLT) or not because it just was separated from SLT this fiscal year.

It will have a heavy flow to Bangkok on January 2-3.
