i have seen a couple of different ones

the funny thing about these books

is the wide range of phrases

included to cover all kinds of situations

some of them are really good for a laugh

if i had the books i could give an example

the best thing about one of these books

it has Thai, English, and then English transliteration, with what i would call EXCELLENT pronunciation clues

(of course) that one was written by a farang

i dont think i have ever seen a thai learn English book written by a Thia that didn't have some English errors

on another note there is also an excellent top notch English Thai dict also written by farang and cheap chaep

if anyone is interested in titles

post here and i will find them

I bought my wife a talking dictionary they are cheap from1300baht to 6000baht , also if she hears a word that she has not heard before, or does not understand the meaning, out comes the dictionary , they are very compact, about the size of a mobile phone.
