I can't get my head around sin sod. I read Thailand Fever totally expecting to find something else. But Chris and co created a book that is quite balanced (imo). I also used the previous dictionary - Thai-English English-Thai by Becker - it's the most dog-eared dictionary of the bunch. It was also one of the ones that came highly recommended when I started into Thai. Chris's Three Way Thai-English dictionary is thicker by a third, but the exact same size as the previous. And looking at the binding (I've been bending it back and forth to test), it's just as durable, so will last a good long time.

Glad I'm a farang female and don't have to worry about Sin Sot. (dowry). The book was quite entertaining and a quick read. I must admit I have not yet seen the new dictionary yet, but I do use the old version.

Although it is good for Western women too, maybe we could get Chris to write a female version of it? What's not working for you with the flashcards? I just downloaded one. Are you using FireFox? It can be a real pain these days. I really enjoyed Thailand Fever. Although it is good for Western women too, maybe we could get Chris to write a female version of it?

The flashcards on the site don't seem to be working at the moment but I'll contact Chris and see if he can fix it.

I kept forgetting, or it would have been referenced on WLT a lot more than it has. Chris has one of the few decent explanations out there dealing with transliteration styles.
