Dear readers,

I am looking for a translation of a list of herbs from Dutch into Thai. I thought it had been published before, but I can't find it anywhere.

Can you help me?

Yours faithfully,

John

    I have a quire with plants including herbs from English to Thai. It's printed so small that I can't scan it. If you are in Thailand I can send a copy. It's 10 sides.

    But first, see if anyone has a web link.

      Hi Eric,

      Would you mind sending a copy to this address if you have the time. A. Boottes Box 19 Surin-Burriram Road km10 32000 Muang Surin. Then I'll see it in Nov when I'm with the tar.

      In Kinokuniya bookstore, Siam Paragon, you will find a good book “A Thai Herbal” by C.Pierce Salguero about most of the medicinal herbs in Thailand. You will find the scientific name, the English name AND the phonetic transcription of the Thai name.

      Hi Eric,

      Thank you very much! I forgot to tell you.

    If you can't find the list, you can also make the list yourself with google translate
    https://translate.google.com/

    Writing in Thai script, you can copy / paste, and you can also listen to the pronounced translation

      This will also help you further, even with images.

      Dear David and Martin,
      Of course I also tried google translate and Bing.
      But these programs do what they are intended for, which is to translate.
      But when I have PARSLEY translated, my wife still reads PARSLEY in Thai.
      The herbs often have different names here, when I ask for parsley at the market, they look at you if they see water burning. Hence my request for Thai or Isaan names.
      I thought something had been written about this before on this blog, hence my question to the editors, but apparently they didn't know either, hence the reader's question.

      I also want to thank everyone for their response.
      Greetings John.

    There is also a lot to be found on Wikipedia:

    Success!

    Johannes, it will be on the bus on Monday. Why don't you start a list with translation of herbs from NL to English.

    My book (Se-Ed English Thai Dictionary, the "thick" edition) lists plants and herbs in order of the Thai alphabet. So feel free to take a day off…..
