Anything related to Thai and Thailand

My earworms often get triggered by seeing or thinking an object, such as a street sign, or word. For example, whenever I eat a potato or think the word "soon", there's a good chance I will earworm the excellent อีกไม่ช้า (Soon), by Thai rock group Potato (featuring Slot Machine).

@music I would probably also earworm it if I ever saw a slot machine, but I never go to casinos, so it's unlikely that will happen.

There seems to be a distinctive sound to Thai rock music. I'm listening to my global music playlist in background & คนตัวเล็ก by Hobbit came on. Even though I'm not familiar with this song or the group, I knew the song was in Thai before the lyrics started just from the sound, :08 to :19. ¿Anyone who's into Thai rock notice this? ¿Is it the playing style? Or ¿do they use the same studio which puts out a distinctive sound?

@music By way of reference, I listen to a lot of Big Ass, AB Normal, Potato, Slot Machine, Tilly Birds, but I also listen to rock (and other music) from just about anywhere and there seems to be a distinctive sound to Thai rock.

says two earlier believed to be alive in were killed in the October 7 attack and their bodies are being held in the Palestinian territory. "We informed the families of two kidnapped Thai citizens, who worked in agriculture in the plantations near Kibbutz Beeri, that they were murdered in the terrorist attack on October 7 and their bodies are being held by Hamas," said army spokesman Daniel Hagari.

On another front, I am now in the process of setting up our new #thai #company together with my wife. The #lawyer is already at work. 🥰️
The name is set, the #logo and a minimal #corporate design are made (I used an #opensource font and did all the work in #inkscape), the #domain is bought and set up, the #website is in the works (with #grav) and our thai #friends are on board as shareholders as well. 😃️
Unfortunately I can't share the details yet, but I'm still really excited. 🥳️

I’ll be interested in learning about your new endeavor, when you are able to share more info! Best of luck! 🙂

@ercanbrack I can hardly wait to make it public. 😝️
I can already say this much: we have rented a viewing platform in need of restoration and will be renovating it next. We want to make and offer a whole range of things there, but will start with the smallest item on our list around July. The company should be founded in June.
We are incredibly excited. 😊️

I'm new to the genres around and not interested in doing mushrooms (unlike most of his fans, I suspect). 🤪😝 But I did enjoy quite a few of the tracks and the overall vibe a lot. 🥰😇 If only I didn't have stomach pain from my hernia... 🫣

the main OST from the series i'm watching says otherwise. this one will have to wait until after. have found thai lyrics but not romanised ones. not sure if i'm up to trying to work it out for myself. something to aspire to. as if.

Lmao

so this particular bus stop is named after “the Mandarin Oriental Hotel”, usually shortened to “the Oriental”

But it’s been so long butchered by Thai phonetic rules that even the English name for the stop is spelled “o rian ten”

@Atirut There are no proper rules, everyone knows RTGS is a joke, and Thai need to come up with a Romanisation system that isn’t stupid tbh.

They’re all not the case until it becomes the case. Copenhagen is a really bad rendering of København/Kaupmannahǫfn but it’s not wrong now is it?

Atirut,

@actsukrit Probably, but as a Thai myself, I know there are many ways to avoid butchering English words without caring for RTGS. Also, when reading English words in Thai spelling, the rules would be changed a little anyway, i.e. -์ would change how a letter is pronounced instead of silencing them.

Well, the point still stand that most are cases of people not even knowing how to properly transcribe English words.

HaneulPark,

How would you react if I wanted to move to another country?

I never thought I would ever enjoy going to on this earth. 🤓 But my wife and I look forward to our lessons every day like little kids to Christmas! The teacher is super nice, funny and challenges us quite a bit. 😅 The class is great too! Lovely people from all corners of this wonderful plane. And the more we dive into the the more we feel to our new home and the here. 🥹🥰

I'm currently creating a new, small #website for our new #thai #company with #grav and it's been a few months since I did this professionally at #kubusmedia. Although getting back into it was a bit of a stretch, it's a lot of fun too. 🤓 It's also the first time I've done the design with #flex.
