The Rough Guide Dictionary Phrasebook Thai (Rough Guide Phrasebooks)  
by Rough Guides (Editor)

Thaicouses.com comments:
(see below for review of previous edition) Assuming this book improves on the previous edition, it is very highly recommended.
Lonely Planet Thai Phrasebook (4th Ed)  
by Joe Cummings

Thaicouses.com comments:
Brilliant, as we have come to expect from all of Joe's work. Includes a non-trivial section on grammar, a handy menu decoder where the Thai script is listed first, and now includes hill tribe languages (previously a separate book). I'll forgive them for stealing Thaicouses.com's color scheme. Essential.

Thaicouses.com comments:
Very good, comprehensive, and well-organized phrase reference for tourists, with Thai script as well as phonetic transliteration. Although the book's petite size is convenient—it would not be noticed in a back pocket—tiny and faint printing had to be used to fit in the considerable content; some might find it hard to read, especially the Thai script. Recommended.

Thai for Lovers

For your raunchy-smutty vocabulary needs.
Making Out in Thai   BUY!
by John Clewley

Thaicouses.com comments:
A small collection of slang phrases with a marketing-driven title. Not recommended due to lack of tone indications on the transliterations—and with no Thai script present your Thai friend won't be able to help figure out what you're supposed to be saying.

Comprehensive phrasebook marred by the lack of tone markings.
In the Bedroom - Out of Trouble 2 : The 'Only' Intimate Phrase Book (not available at Amazon.com)
by Bud Knackstedt and Oiy Ford

Thaicouses.com comments:
This unusual book starts with several chapters on topics such as how to meet people in Thailand, how to find a Thai wife, cultural issues, etc. Next comes a lengthy phrase book, and finally some useful appendicies. No tone marks on the transliterations, and the Thai script uses a highly stylized font which renders many characters mysterious to beginning readers. Interesting. Available from Powell's City of Books

Excellent phrasebook, includes Thai script with phonetic transliteration and Thai script. Especially useful is the unusually detailed introductory section on grammar. Very highly recommended. Newer edition available above.
