I'm not even sure of your "ahng-grit-speak", sextile...even I as a native speaker sometimes have trouble deciphering your posts!

I use as possibly most of the readers are native speakers of English, who - even if they don't recognise the abreviation - should be able to make an informed guess from the context.

Spa Bandung is just a massage joint. But there is a Beach just 115 kms from Udon in Khon Kaen.

English is widely spoken in Udon... in fact more so than some joints in Bangkok.
