After 8 years in Thailand I should be fluent in Thai but I'm far from it. Also, my English is getting worser the longer I'm here. :cheesy:

You can read Thai, yes?

Hi Ryan. Yes, a little. But most of the time I don't understand what I'm reading. :shocked:
Thai script is interesting because the vowels can be located above, below, before, or after the consonant (sometimes a mix of all four). But no matter where the vowel is located it's always pronounced as if it's after the consonant. Ex: a word written "ae-b" is actually pronounced "b-ae". Also, there are no spaces between any of the words. Wordsallflowtogetherintoonelongsentence. I'm glad English didn't adopt that policy.
