There is a Thai proverb which amounts to the same thing  โลภมากสวภหวย it has a couple of meanings sometimes pictured as a canine has a bone in its mouth but sees a magnified reflection (perhaps in a river) and tries to grab it thus losing the real bone in the process.😀

The proverb is โลภมาก ลาภหาย.

The report below says the woman was rescued and revived back to life at the scene. Other sources say she couldn't be revived and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Were there 1 or 2 women in the car? Are they dead or alive?

What do I have to type to get ก๋วยเตี๋ยว (noodles)? None of these work: kuaitiao, kuaytiow, kwaytiew

Never mind. I worked it out: kuaytiaw

Thai spell check works quite well on the whole. See sample text below showing only a few words that MS Word thinks are spelling mistakes.

I tried messing around with zero-width spaces (MS Word: no-width optional breaks and no-width non breaks) as suggested, but that didn't help.

Some words that I add to the custom dictionary are still underlined in red as spelling mistakes.

For example:

คริปโทเคอร์เรนซี (cryptocurrency)

ดิจิทัล (digital)

Here they are in the custom dictionary:

And here is the spelling checker saying they are not in the dictionary:

I have the proofing language of the document set to "Thai" and in proofing options I have "Suggest from main dictionary only" deselected.

Not only Toyota uses them. They are used to reduce the wind noise that is produced by the side rearview mirrors. Even you can buy them for any vehicle. (the question would be....do they work? :))

Thanks for that answer.

Is it just styling or does it server some aerodynamic or other purpose?

So you shouldn't exceed 30 km/hr in first gear, 50 km/hr in second, etc.? Seems like it would be extremely high revs even before the max recommended speed.

Surely they aren't the recommended speed for that gear?

1 = 0-30

2 = 30-50

3 = 50-75

4 = 75-110

You'd have to do it in a notepad window and copy over then. TBH I don't get why you don't just install the Th keyboard even if you're knly going to use it for a few characters.

 

I do have the Thai keyboard but I would like to be able to just type away in Thai using the English keyboard without having to ever swap to the Thai keyboard or another program.

If you have a separate numeric keypad you can get them by holding down left alt and typing 3631 and 3654. You do have to type the numbers on the numeric keypad though (and numlock must be on).

 

Otherwise just install the Thai keyboard, then you have hotkey to change layouts / q / hotkey to change back and hotkey / shift + o / hotkey.

Alt Keycodes don't work for Thai language in Google Translate.

Does anyone know if there is a way to type "ฯ" (pai-yan noi) and "ๆ" (mai ya-mok) with the English keyboard in google translate?

 

I have to switch to the Thai on-screen keyboard input in Google Translate to type these characters. It would be good if you could type them using English letters or symbols.

There is a way to display and choose words with ฯ and ๆ using the dictionary lookup feature in GT, but it only works for the first word or phrase you type in the input box i.e. you can't use it for words mid-sentence.

For example, to get บ่อยๆ

1. Type "boi" and hit enter. GT will produce บ่อย

2. Now GT will lookup บ่อย and display similar Thai words, including บ่อยๆ

3. Select บ่อยๆ with mouse click or arrow keys and enter.

Does anyone know if there is a way to type "ฯ" (pai-yan noi) and "ๆ" (mai ya-mok) with the English keyboard in google translate?

เที่ยว = thiaw

 

That's it! Thank you.

Love the Google Translate feature that enables you to type Thai using English keyboard. But there are some words I just cannot get it to recognize. For example: เที่ยว - none of these work: thiao (RTGS), theeao, theow, thiow

Does anyone know what system Google uses for typing Thai with English keyboard? RTGS works for some words, but not for others.

Here are some other problem words that I have worked out:

นิ้ว - niw

เลย - loei

เหลว - lew

I use Payoneer to receive payouts from Amazon shop. There is annual fee of about 30 USD paid in advance and 1% fee to transfer funds to Thai bank. I never had any problems using them.

Are there any good way to stop this pest or we just have to live with like the geckos? Why I never see the moth, only the cocoons/worms?

In Thai they call it KHAO FAHNG ข้าวฟ่าง. According to Wikipedia there are 25 species of plant belonging to this family of grass, some are for animal and some for human consumption.
A search on Google for places to buy it in BKK turned up this 2 year-old Pantip query from someone wishing to purchase some as a treatment for stomach ulcers. Suggestions included the pet stores in Chatchujak market. Another response said they'd bought it in Nawamin Road in a shop opposite Intharak Market. Others confirmed it's available in pet shops selling animal feed.
Another Pantip thread said they'd seen it in Lemon Farm in Nonthaburi and also in Golden Place in Saphansung.
Also someone posted up a tel no for foodgrade sorghum @ 100 Baht/Kg in post 5 here.

Be aware that in Thai we also call millet khao fang (ข้าวฟ่าง). So when looking for sorghum, make sure you not getting millet. Millet is grown and selling in Thailand. Sorghum I am still looking for.

The plant has flowered and is confirmed to be Operculina turpethum.

Appears to be a cascade aerator/degasser

 

Usually used to increase dissolved oxygen, decrease carbon dioxide, and convert iron and manganese from soluble to insoluble (and thereby filterable) forms. 

 

How Aeration Systems for Water Treatment Work

 

"Aeration is used in water treatment as a pretreatment in the process of removing iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) from water. Air is a powerful oxidizer of both iron and hydrogen sulfide. It quickly converts unfilterable ferrous iron to filterable ferric iron, and it reduces hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulphur, which is easily removed from water by a filter.

 

Air is a very fast oxidizer--considerably faster than chlorine."

 

...

 

 

"With Cascade Aerators, aeration is accomplished by natural draft units that mix cascading water with air that is naturally inducted into the water flow. Cascade water is pumped to the top of the aerator, and cascades over a series of trays. Air is naturally inducted into the water flow to accomplish iron oxidation and some reduction in dissolved gasses. WesTech’s Cascade Aerators are of non-corroding, all aluminum or stainless construction and have no moving parts, making them maintenance free and inexpensive to buy and operate.

Thanks for that info.

Could someone tell me what the thing on top of the water tank in the attached picture is called (in English and Thai)? The water from the well is pumped up and then cascades through it before it goes into the storage tank.

What is its purpose and should I put one on the second water well I have just drilled?

Can anyone tell me what the name of this nut is and what are its uses? They are similar size to snake fruit but much harder.

(Sorry for low quality photo.)

we need to see the flower, fruits. Any seedlings at the foot of the plant? If it's an Ipomoea that should be obvious.

No flowers or fruit at the moment. I'll see if I can find some seedlings.
