-- Once upon a time I asked a Thai friend to pronounce both 'TAKSIN.' & 'THAKSIN.' - dashed if I could hear any difference; yet a
farang acquaintance, (he's lived here in TH. for the best part of
40yrs.), with whom I talked on that v. subject assured me that there is indeed a noticable difference.
- Wch. was why I was careful to say to the 'bus.-conductress: "
Pra Taksin - Thonburi."; I had u'stood. that '
Pra.' means '
King.', as in the MRT. stn. PraRamIX.. --
