This book arose from the author's frustration with the lack of resources for intermediate students of the Thai language. The main body of this book is a list of the most common Thai words with multiple means, supported with several example sentences. In addition to this there is a mini reader of five authentic texts with translations to allow the student the opportunity to practice what they have learnt. This handbook should be a welcome addition for any student who is comfortable with the Thai script but is struggling to bridge the gap between beginner courses and authentic materials.
