Postby Bryan.the.Scorpio » Sat Jul 07, 2007 11:27 am

Good sub-forum, Glenn! I am glad to see this. Here is another souce of Thai proverbs & sayings that I would like to humbly present to you all:

สุภาษิต คติพจน์ คำพังเพยและสำนวนไทย-อังกฤษเปรียบเทียบ (Comparative Proverbs, Old Adages and Sayings: Thai & English)

It's a work in progress. When the time permits, I will add plenty more to the above source soon.

Thanks for the reference. Proverbs and sayings are not only pithy expressions of truths, but tell us a lot about the culture from which they arise. Are you familiar with the book "บ่อเกิดสำนวนไทย"? Do you think it would be helpful to have a wider, English-speaking audience have access to the cultural sources of Thai proverbs?
