PvtDick Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 PvtDick,"Your colleagues are either not very bright, or they were just trying to brush you off". Actually I don't appreciate your comment. My Thai colleagues are highly intelligent contributors to this country, they interact regularly with senior leaders of industry, both Thai and foreign, and they don't 'brush me off'. I've since shown them the various posts. They reinforce the point already made by one contributor, that one perfect or strict translation of 'bang' is not possible. They remain with their overall general comment that it usually means something like district. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try not to be so touchy. To translate "bang" as "district" is a cop-out when its meaning is much richer than that. No one said it could be translated into one single English word -- many Thai concepts can't be. Maybe they were just too lazy to explain the word in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
