Summary: A very good Thai phrasebook
Comment: I've used this phrasebook on several trips to Thailand and have found that it was good and easy to use. I disagree with your reviewer who said there were a lot of mistakes in it. I think possibly he didn't understand the pronunciation system, which is actually very easy to use. I haven't found any mistakes in it, and everything I've seen in it is correct according to a short Thai course I took. In fact, I think this book is the easiest to use if you're trying to get correct pronunciation and tones. I would recommend it to anyone going to Thailand or studying Thai.

Summary: This book is a good bargain
Comment: I teach Thai international students English for academic purposes (TOEFL). When I first purchased this book long ago i attempted to use the phrases with Thai people. I have found many mistakes and misprounciations. My Thai students and instructors in Thailand have pointed out that many phrases in this book are too long and do not reflect the tonal and voice reflections. This would make it possible for a person to say: You are my dog, instead of: You are my friend. For the money, I would say this is the best book for the english speaking beginner or casual traveler. But beware the information is not always accurate and leaves much to be desired in in correct pronounciation.

Summary: A nice, simple phrasebook...
Comment: After reading through this phrasebook, I've but two main observations. First is the positive. The tone markers are incredibly easy to understand, in fact, it is the best system I've seen so far. My only complaint is that there is absolutely no Thai scrpit in the book at all. So if you are having trouble pronouncing the word, your Thai friend/companion/etc. cannot simply read the Thai script and help you out. Other than that this is a nice phrasebook which has come in handy when I've used it in conjunction with other Thai language-learning materials.
