This travel guide has been compiled by experts to meet the general needs of tourists and business travellers. Arranged under headings such as hotels, driving and so forth, the selection of useful words and phrases is shown with an easy-to-follow system of imitated pronunciation, as well as Thai characters. Although guidance is given regarding pronunciation, there are, as in Chinese, some tricky tones to master.
Typical replies to questions you may ask during your journey and the signs or instructions you may see or hear are also included. A 1200-line mini-dictionary should help you form additional phrases (or at least express the one word you need) and the extensive menu guide should ease your way through complicated Thai meals. There is guidance on aspects of the Thai way of life.
