Where can I get some text interpreted into English please?
^ Could've sworn I saw you on another thread...
Do you mean as in a document to be officially translated, or the Facebook message your GF received from some Thai dude?Quote:

Would help if you said from what language in to English, probably Thai but there are others.
A few lines ? A few pages? Several tomes?

Here's some general places that a 3 second google search turned up:
Thai English translation services - Thai-English-Translation.com
International Translations Office - Bangkok, Thailand - Professional and Legal Translation and Interpretation Services
mysite
Bangkok Translation - the professional translation service in English, Chinese, Japanese and Thai languages
Assuming that this is translating (not interpreting) Thai to English, if quality doesn't really matter, you can get Thais to do it for very little - perhaps as little as 100 baht/page (given a standard A4 page of 350-400 words). If it's something more important, expect to pay up to 2000 baht/page for a native-speaker of English to do it for you.
It's open to interpretation, I assume you have a typed text , handwritten Thai can be like all languages a bit harder.
I'm sure Lenc will be along shortly and thank you for your helpful comments.
