RADIO ON THE INTERNET
 One
of my favourite radio stations is Radio
88: Radio No Problem. Most of the DJ's are
bilingual and they quite often switch between English and
Thai. Practice your Thai and listen to some live radio!

Listening to
the radio is a good way to learn Thai. Don't worry if at
first you can't understand much. after a while you will
start to hear some of the more important words again and
again. It is also a good way to tune your ear into the Thai
tones and an excellent way to pick up Thai slang. The proper
way of saying hello in Thai is "sawatdee". But,
in the phone-ins on the radio shows you will often hear
a shortened version of "watdee".
Normally on the
radio you cannot stop and rewind if you want to listen to
something again. What we have done for you is to record
some different telelphone conversations for you to download.
These are all mp3 files. Right click on the links and choose
