4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice, simple phrasebook...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thai-English/English-Thai Dictionary and Phrasebook (Dictionary and Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A decent beginner's transliterated dictionary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thai-English/English-Thai Dictionary and Phrasebook (Dictionary and Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
The Thai in this dictionary is transliterated into Roman characters, the Thai alphabet is not used in this dictionary. The transliteration scheme is easy to learn quickly, and the tone markers are among the most transparent I've ever seen. There are decent grammar and phrasebook sections. The dictionary itself is somewhat skimpy ~800 Thai to English entries and ~1700 English to Thai entries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good Thai phrasebook,
By "kipukagraphics" (Pahoa, HI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thai-English/English-Thai Dictionary and Phrasebook (Dictionary and Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
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.
