Review

The WYSIWYS Thai Phrase Handbook is most welcome for those who have little time to ponder the mysteries of [Thai-to-English] transliteration. . . . It is user-friendly and well organized, with chapter in contexts in which foreigners may find themselves. . . . [It] is rarely boring . . . and goes a long way in helping English speakers minimize embarrassing mispronunciations, and helps bridge two cultures through increased communication and understanding. -- Bangkok Post
