Phuut Phaasaa
Thai gives students of Thai language useful topical and seasonal Thai words and phrases to help you out in common situations.
It's very difficult in any writing system to create the sounds of Thai language, so we are giving you an approximate pronunciation as a help to your visual memory. But you'll need to ask a Thai native speaker to say the words for you. That way, you'll make a Thai friend, too.
