Säkert finns där många som läser Bangkok Post!
Vad många kanske inte känner till är att de har en väldigt bra avdelning med nyheter där de plockar ut ord och fraser från engelska till Thai!
Själv tycker jag det är givande, då man samtidigt kan läsa nyheter och lära sig ord och fraser, vardagsfraser samt man får också orden och fraserna i ett sammanhang! Här får man förklaring till vad fraserna och orden betyder både på engelska och Thai på samma gång, så pedagogiken är dubbel!

Zigzag road markings to catch motorists' attention
Walking across the street in Bangkok can be an unhappy experience, even if you use a zebra crossing with a green light showing for pedestrians.
A young woman was killed not long ago crossing the busy Asoke Montri Road. She, unfortunately, was the first to go into the street and an onrushing motorist didn't notice it was a pedestrian crossing.
That shouldn't happen any more, at that spot anyway.
City Hall has introduced zigzag road markings ahead of pedestrian crossings to better alert motorists of the need to slow down when approaching the crossings and make the roads safer.
It is only a trial at the moment – the new markings have been put in place on Asoke Montri, on Dinso Road and roads around the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration office (Sao Ching Cha, or the Giant Swing).
After the trial they will be used on other roads said Suthon Arnakul, director of the BMA’s traffic engineering division.
The zigzag lines are painted 15 metres before each zebra crossing. They will be used along with other pavement markings and signs to warn motorists to slow down and prepare to stop or comply with a traffic signal to ensure safety for people crossing city roads.
Mr Suthon said the zigzag markings are regarded as a “traffic calming” device, and a lane painted with the design can make motorists feel a street is becoming narrower and will draw their attention to the need to slow down.
