Hi Martyn, Lump away. I don’t mind at all as I’m the one getting the intellectual upgrade. This lesson is indeed useful and there are many more to come. A month’s worth. And then I’ll have to see about nudging Rikker for more :-)

Rikker/Catherine – Sorry to group you together like that but glancing back you really do look compatible. I have come across thuk (every) before and do use it in conversation. Young Wilai eats som tum each day, regular as clockwork and instead of calling it som tum I often say to her ‘Now you must go make thuk thuk wan pok pok’ in reference to her daily habit. Thang (all) is a new one to me but with my use of thuk under my wing then its introduction will be easy. A more than useful lesson and one that has its uses in everyday (thuk wan) Thai life. A little bit more of these type of lessons please as they are so easy to follow for all (thang) concerned.

If you need to see those Thai squiggles larger (because none of us are getting any younger and the Thai script is usually always smaller in comparison)…

On a Mac in FF it’s command + to enlarge and command – to reduce.

If you have the new MacBook Pro, the blinking thing has a mind of its own so be careful when any two parts of your body are sliding across the track pad at the same time because your browser will act accordingly.

On a PC in FF it’s CTR + and – to make fonts grow larger or smaller.

Interesting and very helpful for where I am right now in one learning area. Now if I could only understand all those squiggles I’d really feel like I was getting somewhere.
