I used this with Thai students in M4 & M5... all could read it...

Then I had them write one of their own and exchange with a friend.

A quick fun lesson... and also demonstrated that they shouldn't get too hung up on the details of pronounciation when they were reading.

Make that 56 , i read through the whole thing without having to un-scramble anything , the whole thing is that the human brain is more amazing than anything 'Amazing Thailand ' has to offer in any way shape or form , other than , of course , their futile attempts at the English language on signs , menus etc . Cut the face , cut the mustard and get it correct first time .
