Log on to Thai2English.com and look up the Thai or English word(s) you want to transcribe. Thai2English will then give you the word in Thai script, the English translation, and the phonetic transcription. All you need to do is cut and paste and voila, sexy tone marks. For instance, you titled your latest blog at tellthaiheart.blogspot.com "pood pasa thai die nitnoi" Using Thai2English you come up with "pôot paa-săa tai dâi nít nòi" Quite sexy. Lots of luck Lani,

I wish I would have found this article (and this site if truth be told) before I started to learn Thai. (*sigh*) Now the next question is: Where do you all get those sexy tone mark fonts?

Hmm. I've been married to the same woman for 39 years. I just hope you haven't come around too late. I did drop by your site. Very interesting. As for ducks,I have 5 of them and get 4 eggs every morning (there is one male). Anyone in the Chiang Mai area who likes duck eggs please drop by and I'll gladly share the eggs with you. My cholesterol is going through the roof. If anyone wants to know what ducks have to do with sexuality you'll just have to visit Khun Kaewmmala's blog. Khun Kaewmala,
