Thai Final Consonants

Video Description

As I've said repeatedly in these YouTube tutorials and my web-based tutorials, transliteration is completely useless. It's a necessary evil. With so many tourists in Thailand (under normal circumstances) transliteration is needed at airports and other places otherwise there would be chaotic scenes with tourists unable to find where to board their flight to Phuket. However, as a language learning aid it is completely unfit for purpose.

In this video I will cover a couple of important fundamentals concerning final consonants in Thai and explain some of the issues with transliteration (there are lots more).

I hope my explanation is clear. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them below. The Consonant Summary I mention in the video can be found at:

How I Book Hotels In Thailand And Elsewhere

Agoda is a company I trust and recommend. Using the following link to book your next hotel room will make me a small commission. I don't make anything from YouTube for these videos.

Having lived in Thailand since 2003, I have booked many hotels while travelling around the country. Occasionally, I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to find the best deal. However, I almost invariably end up booking through Agoda. Not only are Agoda rates almost always the lowest, but it is a company I have learnt to trust over the years. In 2023 there were stories about another large online hotel Booking company (whose name I won't mention) who failed to pay accommodation hosts and whose customers turned up at hotels to find that they did not have a reservation. I have never had any such problems with Agoda, and the few minor issues I've had have been dealt with efficiently by their customer service representatives.
