The first time, I bought 1 bottle of red wine and whisky from DFS. From then onwards, I did not buy anything. Barrels of chang beer are always there for celebration.

Just give her the money will do, tell her for her to buy some food or whatsoever, cannot communicate ask your GF to help then. I think just give some to the immediate family member and elders will do, no need to start distributing angpao, wait till the neighbors and relatives start pouring in then you’ll feel the pinch.

If you are staying there, then see what the house short of, rice, canned food perhaps, help stock up a little, if the father drinks, then some beer as well too. Pardon me if I am wrong, I don’t know what family background we are talking about here.

It is a good site which provides translation and also romanisation though the meanings of some words might not be found there. There are also no audio files.

Bro, it doesn't "pronounce" the word for you.

BTW, how do you go about booking Siam 1st Tour ? I think they don't have a website.

Bro, you promoting your own website is it ? I only want dictionary, which comes with pronunciation. You give me all the irrelevant stuff leh.

Peter_North · #**553** 09-03-2008, 09:10 PM

I've just returned from Rpbinson Ratchada.

Does anyone know this brand "OAKS" ? The checked pattern of OAKS shirts is pretty unique. Any mama tailor in BKK that offers similar checked pattern ?

I'd probably misunderstood your question. Afaik, there're no dictionaries which give pronunciation for 100% of the words. They might have sound clips for maybe 5% of all the words.

Thai2English is good because it can translate Thai to English and vice versa though there're no audio clips. Usually I use this when I'm online.

The dict at thai-language is also good and it comes with 12571 audio clips according to the site. I don't use this often so I can't really commend.
