Over 50 and Feeling the Frustration

[edwardandtubs]

Can anyone think of a memorable Thai sentence (or collection of words) that contains all the (non-obsolete) Thai letters? I want to use it to improve my typing skills.

If you mean a pangram, this seems to be the "official" Thai version:

เป็นมนุษย์สุดประเสริฐเลิศคุณค่า

กว่าบรรดาฝูงสัตว์เดรัจฉาน

จงฝ่าฟันพัฒนาวิชาการ

อย่าล้างผลาญฤๅเข่นฆ่าบีฑาใคร

ไม่ถือโทษโกรธแช่งซัดฮึดฮัดด่า

หัดอภัยเหมือนกีฬาอัชฌาสัย

ปฏิบัติประพฤติกฎกำหนดใจ

พูดจาให้จ๊ะ ๆ จ๋า ๆ น่าฟังเอยฯ

To be human is most glorious with more value

Than herds of animals in the wild

You must then work hard to develop your skills

Dont pillage, murder or oppress anyone

Dont hold grudges, be angry, curse or scold

Learn forgiveness as you would good sportsmanship

Behave within the rule and spirit of the law

Speak nicely and sweetly so it is pleasing to the ear.

นายสังฆภัณฑ์ เฮงพิทักษ์ฝั่ง ผู้เฒ่าซึ่งมีอาชีพเป็นฅนขายฃวด ถูกตำรวจปฏิบัติการจับฟ้องศาล ฐานลักนาฬิกาคุณหญิงฉัตรชฎา ฌานสมาธิ

Mr.Sangkhaphant Hengpithakfang - an elderly man who earns a living by selling bottles - was arrested for prosecution by police because he stole Lady Chatchada Chansamat's watch.

You find those sentences memorable? I was thinking of something with more everyday vocabulary.

Rather than insulting those who try to help you, just think how naive your original request is. There are a lot of letters in the Thai alphabet that only occur in a few obscure words. Forming a sentence using all of them is inherently highly unnatural. Consider the equivalents in English:

- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

- Fat hag dwarves quickly zap jinx mob.

- Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.

- Quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Edwardandtubs is after the 'quick brown fox' version. Natthawat (ณฒวรรตน์) would be a good name to use.

Yes, something like the quick brown fox one - easy, memorable vocabulary.

And to AyG, don't be so sensitive.

And to AyG, don't be so sensitive. If you read the OP I said "all the (non-obsolete) Thai letters". Maybe I should have said non-obscure, which is what I'm really after. I think a quick brown fox style pangram for the common Thai letters would help a lot of people.

On somewhat the same topic I find the sentence ไก่จิกเด็กตายบนปากโอ่ง useful as all the words start with the middle class consonants. "The chicken pecked the kid to death over the mouth of the earthenware pot".

The high class ones are easy to remember, so this make the mid and lower ones easy as well.
