The way actual Thais say it does not affect the way it's pronounced in other countries. We don't hear too many English speakers saying "Paree" for the capital of France and no amount of complaining would change that.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:50 pmI’m going to miss Trump when he goes. I genuinely look forward to the latest mishap and this week’s Yo-Semite Park jape was going to be my all time favourite until he pronounced Thailand as Thighland last night.
Eh? What are you talking about?
Firstly, how many countries call the place Thighland?
Secondly, it is known as Thailand in the US. If I recall correctly, Trump is the President is the US.
He called it Thighland because that is how he thought it was pronounced on his teleprompter. It demonstrates once again how illiterate and ill informed about the word he is.
