Summary: Simple, powerful Thai missing in many normal phrase books
Comment: I have been learning Thai from numerous books and Tape sources for over two years (with limited success). Without living there it is difficult to pickup direct slang, colourful or romantic language, however this book provides many of the missing words and phrases that the young at heart really need. Although lack of tone marks is a major handicap... once corrected by locals the book provides more than enough to deal with all aspects of daily life. In fact my young Thai friend just kept my copy so she could obtain the English wording!

Summary: Decent -Fast Food Thai
Comment: I actually found this book useful for learning quick Thai. The phrases and words in the book were current with everyday situations that a foreigner would encounter if he or she was staying longer than the typical tourist holiday in Thailand. Thai people actually thought I was proficient and fluid with the language even though I only know 30 words and phrases. There are no references to tones but I think the author does not want the reader to get hung up on the correct tonal pronounciation,just learn the words. The local people will correct your pronunciation trust me! I was fortunate because I speak a little Mandarin therefore the tones are not much of a problem for me. The book is great if you want to learn useful Thai on your flight over to the Thailand. Unlike other phrase books you are not burdened with phrases like "The tree is tall" instead you know how ask someone on a date or tell them that you are not a dumb tourist.
