One problem I frequently encounter is converting Thai names from the Roman script to the Thai script. Are there any useful lists of placenames, surnames and forenames? I can find lists of provinces and Bangkok admininstrative districts, but is it all going to have to be so bitty?

On a similar tack, are there any useful lists of abbreviated names? I can remember being totally baffled by 'Jaran' as a Bangkok placename.

The book 'Thai for intermediate learners' (Benjawan Poomsan Becker)has a section with lots of Bangkok place names, banks museums, streets etc as well as a section with common Thai names, nicknames and English names.
