Dear Khun Elli–I just discovered your web-site and enjoyed it thoroughly. Many years ago I worked in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and now visit Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai several times a year. I particularly enjoyed your article on Northern Thai. I speak Thai pretty well, read it moderately well, but cannot write it. I am interested in reading more of your articles. Are there archive articles other than those for Sept-Nov. 2008? How can I access them?
For fun, how about “gloom”, as in “gloom-chai”? Or “rim” as in “rim talay” or “rim tot”? And most widespread around the world,”buri” as in Petburi, Jhodpur, Edinborough, Canterbury, Salisbury, etc, etc.
Some years ago my occupation was focused on teaching prospective nurses, Thai university students, how to ask questions and describe bodily functions about which they were unaccustomed to speaking about at all. Having an explanation like this would have been most helpful then, and certainly a conversation starter in class.
