<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1280201, member: 26302&quot;]Lol very true. I cheat and have my wife read it for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>One trick I learned was 2500=1957 for calendars. They use the buddhist calendar. Luckily my mother in law was born in 2500(1957) so it makes it easy for me to remember that trick. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are very right though the alphabet makes it hard. Thais are extremely proud of the fact they use one of the few unique alphabets on earth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw for people wishing to collect &quot;normal&quot; coins. They can be found for Rama V through IX. Rama VIII was postumously declared king, but luckily for collectors they struck a series of coins with him on it, (mainly for commemoration and collectors). He was assasinated in 1946 I believe, before he officially took the throne. He was the brother of King Rama IX. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, if anyone ever goes to Thailand do NOT insult their King. It is technically a crime, and I have found no way to make a Thai person upset than to bad mouth their king. They would rather you bad mouth their country than their King.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
