This completely new addition to the successful Oxford- Duden range of dictionaries reflects the most up-to-date changes in technology, science and medicine, industry and commerce and offers comprehensive coverage of all major fields of reference, including the arts and entertainment, recreation and sport, flora and fauna and typical situations in domestic and everyday life. Also included are specially produced pages on Thai subjects such as Buddhism and architecture. Fully alphabetized indices in both languages refer the reader not only to various subjects and contexts in which a word is used, but also to the correct translation and vocabulary of the entire subject. With no other Thai and English pictorial available at present on the market, the Oxford-Duden Pictorial Thai and English Dictionary is an essential resource for everyone from the beginning student to the seasoned speaker. Conventional dictionaries are fine when you know the word you want to look up and how to spell it, but when you're learning a new language, sometimes a picture is the way to go. The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Thai and English Dictionary is arranged thematically, with vocabulary accompanying each picture. So the Soft Fruit page, for example, features 65 illustrations of fruits, leaves, pits, blossoms, and more, with their appellations--in English and Thai. This dictionary is invaluable for learning the names of items that are common in the United States but are rare or nonexistent in Thailand. There are 399 such thematic pages, covering animals and plants, art, music, and mathematics, games, sports, meteorology, and a vast assortment of industries. With its two indices, in Thai and in English, this reference is a wonderfully useful tool for the Thai student of English.

Text: English Customers who bought this item also bought Oxford-River Books English-Thai Dictionary Thai for Advanced Readers Customer Reviews for: The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Thai & English Dictionary Rating - Fun for more reasons than one ! I bought this book as a way to study technical words in Thai. In that capacity it is fantastic. But as a former art director at an ad agency, I found it very entertaining as well. Each diagram reminds me of those little emgergency instruction cards in the front pocket of airplane seats. Imagine those diagrams but placed in the context of a nightclub or discotheque. The result is quite hilarious. Also, a linguist might find the format of ... Read More Rating - Great reference for technical translation I have Oxford-Duden pictorial dictionaries in both Chinese and Thai, and have found them very helpful reference materials indeed for situations where translation of esoteric or extremely technical items is required, such as working parts of machinery, military hardware, etc. Obviously, being a pictorial dictionary, abstract nouns as well as verbs are not listed. I should also say that this dictionary would more than likely be superfluous for a basic ... Read More Rating - Good reference for advanced learners of Thai.

This series uses a standard Western and scientific basis for most of the content, and section of Thai-specific items is added at the end. This is mostly wat architecture, animals, plants, and farm produce. There are many realms of Thai life that are not included. Also some very common nouns seem to be missing -- octopus is one animal not included in the dictionary at ...

This book is a handy reference for English people who are studying the Thai language or vice versa. I believe it is a bit unwieldy for the casual traveller/visitor. I have a strong desire to learn Thai and I have purchased quite a bit of English<->Thai material over the years...most of the material is 1970s and earlier. . . This "dictionary" (manual?) ...
