RE: Map of Mystery Bangkok Thailand colorchallenge wednesdayyellow
I live off Phahon Yothin, out in Saphan Mai...its spelt differently on every other street sign! I use this version, but Phahol Yothin is more common.
I think that map isnt bad tbh, its those ridiculous street signs with all the roads at right angles that confuse me!
and I love Union Mall :-)
loll - It's so funny what we have to learn here. I live in the big hole to the right. Lots of buses can get you there, I guess. I was shocked by the pronunciation when I figured it out :)
I'm studying Thai up here in Chiang Mai, and even in our Thai class, we get words that are sometimes spelled one way, and the next day, spelled another way! A bit confusing, to say the least.
And just being out and about, I've come across 2 different signs with what seemed like 2 different words. On closer inspection, however, the 2 words turn out to be the SAME word, with quite different spellings.
Then again, I used to teach English, and I honestly believe that English is more confusing than Thai.
