6. Thai Reference Grammar: The Structure of Spoken
Thai by James Higbie, Snea Thinsan, Paperback,
Publisher: Orchid Press
This book is a serious and comprehensive study of Thai.
The authors change the Thai spelling of some words,
given in their examples, to show the way the words are
pronounced (kao, for he, has a high tone in spoken Thai
but rising tone in written Thai) in cases where this
differs from the written version. The book does not
confine itself to spoken Thai, however; for any given
word ('so', for example, in the sense of consequently or
therefore) it will give you the six or seven Thai words
in use, and show you how they are deployed; and will
tell you which are in every-day use and which you're
likely to encounter mainly in writing ie the formal ones
you can avoid.
7. Thai-English English-Thai Dictionary for Non-Thai
Speakers by Benjawan Poomsan Becker, Paperback: 658
pages
This practical dictionary is designed to help English
speakers communicate in Thai. It is equally useful for
those who can read the Thai alphabet and those who
can't. Most Thai-English dictionaries either use Thai
script exclusively for the Thai entries (making them
difficult for westerners to use) or use only phonetic
transliteration (making it impossible to look up a word
in Thai script). This dictionary solves these problems
by dividing the entries into three sections: Section One
(English-Phonetic-Thai), Section Two
(Phonetic-Thai-English) and Section Three
(Thai-Phonetic-English). The transliteration system is
the same as that used in Paiboon Publishing's other
books. You will find most of the vocabulary you are
likely to need in everyday life, including basic
medical, cultural, political and scientific terms.
Consistent and accurate phonetic transcription of Thai
sounds for those unable to read the Thai alphabet.
