Might be a nice thing to help by editting english tattoos for some of our Thai friends.

Rob Colsell at down under bar takes great delight in showing ANGEL's huge tattoo of her name on her lower back :o ANGLE nicely surrounded by flowers and hearts.

Too sad but amusing for some I suppose

guys, would alvin be correctly spelled like this:

อัลวิน??

Many thanks.. :o

Alvin can be transcribed to Thai as อัลวิน or แอลวิน, but the first one is preferable.

Can you sing like that แอลวิน ? hehehe

อัลวิน is better

If anyone is looking for Ken (and to get some second opinions in case I have been getting it wrong all these years) I use the following on the front of my pocketbook (it's often easier than shouting it in those places where the music can be very loud :o )

เค็น

I use this (khenM) rather than the longer เคน (khaenM) or the full Kenneth (เค็นเน็ธ khenM netH)

Excellent helpful site.

Can somebody please translate into Thai script

Maybe the above is condensed into a Thai Proverb

Andy

Fa

Thanks for any help

Hi again Heng!

Where is the hospital with the good YAG-operator, and how much does a session cost for a small tattoo? I had my name tattooed right below my lovely relief-like peace sign back in '96. Even though I told the guy about 20 times he still got it slightly off. And Thai being the very tonal language it is, it has led to several interesting interpretations :o

Some say it sounds like a burmese name, some says it means looking at something, others don't get it, while more than one has told me it's awful similar to a thai word meaning I'm already dead...

So can you guess my name?

Alfred

Al

Thanks.

อัลเฟรด

Love forever - รักชั่วนืรันดร์

Some say it sounds like a burmese name >>>>> หม่อง

some says it means looking at something >>>>> มอง

it's awful similar to a thai word meaning I'm already dead >>>>> ม่อง

So, which one is actually your name? :o

Hey, this website is awesome :D glad I stumbled upon it!

Any chance someone could let me know what Nils would be in Thai script? Don't know how easy that would be with it not being an English name :o

Thanks!! x

Can someone please translate this into thai: "Khem's heart" or "Khem's place".

First we'd need to know what Thai word 'khem' actually refers to.

It's obviously a name, but we can't be sure unless we see it in Thai script, or if you happen to know the meaning in English - is it any of these:

'salty', 'savoury', 'needle'?

Hello,
