alphabet, for ease of use. Because of the importance of tone, if it
is not spoken correctly, you could be in for some embarrassing moments.
Please ask me if you require help.

To be polite whilst talking to a Thai, you should add Khrap (for men)
or Khar (for ladies) to the end of your sentence. If you wish to be
overally polite (police, parents, monks) whilst talking to someone,
you could add Khrap to the begining, the middle and the end of the sentence.
Dont do this to much though, unless you are trying to grovel, as it
will start to sound sarcastic.
