Song ha ha ha. Sawasdee Pii Mai duay.

Wiki says : The Royal Thai General System of Transcription (RTGS) is the official system for rendering Thai language words in the Latin alphabet, published by the Royal Institute of Thailand. It is used in road signs and government publications, and is the closest thing to a standard of transcription for Thai, though its use by even the government is inconsistent.

I wonder in this year of the Thai tablet if there could be a effort to finally decide on a standard.

Then a mild disagreement between my friends Suwimol and Suwimon could be put to rest.
