Modern font and traditional font in Thai

For Thai language beginners, to read commercial fonts must be really difficult because the shape is far from traditional font and many characters are similar to English.
So I have prepared the comparison table. I hope this will be useful for you. :)

This comparison table focuses on;
– Characters which are similar to English
– Characters which are similar to other characters

Thai on the street (What kind of shop?)

Coffee_1
Can you guess what kind of shop is this? (Maybe it’s easy to guess) :)

กิ่งกาแฟโบราณ

kìŋ kaa fɛɛ boo raan
Small shop of old style coffee

กิ่ง

kìŋ: branch

กาแฟ

kaa fɛɛ: coffee

โบราณ

boo raan: old

You can see many types of coffee at this kind of small shop in Thailand. Let me introduce two items among them.

โกโก้

koo kôo: cocoa

โอว้ลติน

Ovaltine (It is powder type malt beverage from Swiss, which is popular in Asia such as Thailand and China. Although “Miro” is more popular in Japan.)

Thai people like this sweet coffee very much. But it is too sweet for me!! ;)
