You are correct, I can be of no help.

Maybe we can merge everything into ชีวิตก็คือหวานอมขมกลืน


หวานอมขมกลืน
(สำ) ก. ตกอยู่ในฐานะที่จำต้องยอมรับ ไม่ว่าจะดีหรือ ร้าย พอใจหรือไม่พอใจก็ตาม

...then we can cut all about to choose or not to choose

Perhaps we can choose also

สุโขทัย = sukhoday(a) = resulting in joy or happiness

Thank you guys! I'm a bit confused by which translation to use though since they're different for both stay positive and choose happiness? Please can you clarify, thanks in advance! Much appreciated

Khun Zanzapan,

for making a constructive proposal, please consider my thought:

Let's assume I would enjoy so much the Latin motto "Per aspera ad astra", a "philosophy" eventually slightly different from "Stay positive" "Choose happyness". Then I would ask: Please, could you translate this into correct English (or Thai) because

Then I will go back to Southern Thailand and I hope to get a tattoo.

What will happen?

Just Wikipedia offers 3 English translations.

(Per aspera ad astra is a Latin phrase which means any of the following: "Through hardships to the stars", "A rough road leads to the stars" or "To the stars through difficulties".).

We can add even more translations and interpretations.

Arrived at this point I would ask myself: Why not to let the sentence in its original version, i.e. its original language?

So, why in your case not a tattoo in English language using English letters?

A tattoo in English language using Thai letters is possible. The method of this "translation" is "thap-sap-ing". Eventually this is what you are actually searching for? An option for you?

Hi Zanzapan, my comments is not intended to be a suggestion for a tattoo, just another way of to express life is it is, bitter and sweet and maybe that's a way to gain happiness without to choose anything
