Little Miss Fon Sat on Her Kon

An uncensored, non-pc, non-authoritative rough guide to speaking and understanding Thai written by an expat for non-uptight tourists and expats with a sense of humor, this book could conceivably help:

--As a conversation starter to make Thais smile, and also to invite help.

--Because words you look up in dictionaries are often easily forgotten; this book sometimes makes them memorable.

--The nearly 200 words are explained with more than 10,000 words of context and commentary.

--As an economic aid. When you can speak a few crucial Thai words, prices drop quite fast, and you may recover many times the price of this book With its humorous approach and its title, this book is what it is. There is no substitute for actually speaking Thai words and learning by making mistakes, and accepting any corrections with good humor. For those accepting these limitations, the e-book version (enhanced with a partial reverse glossary) is now titled "Little Miss Noi: A Sanook Guide to the Thai Language," and it has an additional glossary.
