correct spelling of Thai name - Yemkanchoo (sounds like)

Featured Replies

Hi folks smile.png

Im trying to trace a girl i once knew. Her family name was (phonetically) Yemkanchoo. I know that is an incorrect spelling but i can't find any reference to anthing like it on the net. Maybe it is way off. If any one has an idea of the correct spelling i'd be much obliged smile.png

thanks

It's impossible to turn a poor romanisation like this into Thai script.

The correct spelling is the spelling, the passport authority writes into the passport. With different persons of the same family and Thai name, this can result in unpredictable differences..

of course it is, and even if you turned it in to Thai script then i still wouldn't be any the wiser. since you are hard of thinking i'll give you a very simple example.

lets say i'm looking for the correct spelling of Wantana and i have missed spelled it as Wantarna, then some kind person that knows could correct my misspelling. not looking for smart arse answers!

It wasn't a smart-ass answer, it was a correct answer.

There is no "correct spelling" -- only spellings that make sense and those don't. To get one that makes sense, you have to know the Thai script.

Sorry I tried to help. I think your "girlfriend" would probably be better off if you didn't track her down.
