I would say this was excellent. My only confusion was that I asked for an English phonetic of the translation because I am going to pronounce it. In the email you sent you gave what I assume to be the correct Thai spelling, but I didn't see the English phonetic until I came to the website. I did get what I was looking for between the two, so thank you!
