I think the reason that some people in that area call "Dum" because the color of the rat is black which is Thai (black= dum). I bet the taste might be good, have anyone tasted it before? Nice Day, Kroo Ae

Thanks very much for that, Kroo Ae. Perhaps the picture in the thread wasn't very clear. Never mind.
Cheers

Dear Jandajoy,
It's my pleasure answering your question. And if you want to see the clear picture of "Noo na" (Vole). I can show it to you but one thing it might make you sick.

Nice Day,
Kroo Ae

That's very kind of you. Maybe the photos weren't very clear.
However the creature was correctly identified by mobs00 as a

mole (the animal), bamboo rat, genus Rhizomys

Dear K.Fabian,

It doean't matter. It is a common word to call them but we have Thai word to call foregner also "Chaaw-dtaang-chaat" or " Chaaw-dtaang-bpra-ted". You can say "farang but after you learn Thai from me today. You better try to use proper word as I suggest.

Best regards,
Kroo Ae

But farang means westerner, chaaw dtaang chaat could include all kinds of foreigners.

Dear ayayeyey,
You are totally right about that, Most of Thai people refer the word "Farang" to westerner and caucasian people.
And for the word "chaaw dtaang chaat" and "chaaw dtaang bpra ted" refer to all foreigners and it's a proper word in the written language.

Nice Day,

Dear Camel,

It's good to you to get more word from different people and situations, all will help you to fulfill your experience. I believe that many Thai words in your knowledge source will help you to select the proper word to say in daily life

Nice day,
Kroo Ae

Dear K. Ae,

Just been reading the first 2 pages of this thread. However I find it hard to pronounce your english/thai explanation with the abc alphabet. Is it because I am dutch and pronounce the alphabet differently?

Dear Pnow,
It might be a bit confuse for you to pronounce because each language is different in alphabet's pronunciation. In Thai language, we transliterate words into English. My advice, I think you should listen to the words how they pronounce and write it down to your own language. Most of my students that English is not their first language, they alway learn from this way.

Nice Day,
Kroo Ae

hello there, 1st thank you for the effort to support non thai speakers,

my question is i the translation office in my area does not support thai (yet) and i would like to check the English translation details starting from 1st line of the certificate:...

i cannot make any photo post: forum rules: To be able to post links or images your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

any way if you google "thai marriage certificate" it will appear just just need the translation of the red flowered framed certificate.

Dear Chrigui,
For your marriage translation,my suggestion you should take to the translated office because they have the official way of translation which accept to all public and govenrment place here in thailand and also your marriage translation paper have to be certified by the ministry and they will do all the paper for you which is easier and faster than you do it by yourself. As you mentioned earlier that your area doesn't have the translated office which I understand that but I think some translate offices, they definitely have service that can mail to your address directly.

Feel free to ask me if you need other information

Nice Day,
Kroo Ae

Dear iamthai,
As Thai people know the word FARANG as you mentioned earlier, all of them are correct. But most of them are familiar to this word and using for the westerner and caucasian people.

For your information
Farang is the name of fruit which is Guava.

Can i post it to u o how can i send it to u??

I need somebody to translant some thai language...thank you...

I need somebody to translant some thai language...thank you..
My email is alanchu_1019[at]hotmail.com See who can help me i need to post the language to him/her...

Khun Ae, thanks for being so helpful.

My question is, why is there an "i" (or "y") behind "Thai"?

ไท is already Thai; why the extra ย behind?

Doesn't that make it "Thaii" or "Thaiy"?

Have found the Thai words for Sirloin, filet mignon; but, haven't yet found anyone who can provide the word for ribeye, which is a cut of beef.

Thanks,

Bill H

What is the word for forklift? Cannot seem to find it anywhere.
I have so far been getting away with using: Rot Yohk Kohng Nak, but surely there must be a specific term.

cheers
