Big A Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) After reading today's BKK (DMK?? )Post, I saw that some drivers are already fleecing people by taking them to the wrong airport, or, on arrival at Suwannapoom, telling them that such and such a flight leaves from Don Muang.....sorry, Don MuEang airport. Here we go!!! Edited March 26, 2007 by Big A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about the same time in General ... BTW the'e' makes sense in Thai ... and to anyone that understands translit ... ua and uea are very different sounds doesn't take them long to come up with new and improved scams does it? I agree with the Mueang spelling. The sound is much more like the Thai. Some guy has written into the BKK Post claiming that uea is an illegal grouping of vowels in the English language. Rather misses the point that it is not English but an attempt to use English (sorry can't recall the term for our characters) lettering to create Thai sounds.

Toptrainer Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 How dare you say that Thai taxi drivers sometimes fleece thier clients! If you don't like being cheated by poor taxi drivers you should go somewhere else!(Sarc.

WAERTH Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 The characters are not Roman, but the Latin alphabet. Of which many languages use their own version. Waerth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
