00:00Have you ever noticed how the street signs in Bangkok can be very confusing?
00:04Take the Anut station for instance, you might see it as
00:08Anut Anut Anut
00:11So why the inconsistency?
00:14It's a common site in Bangkok where street names are written in both Thai and English.
00:18But here's the thing, there's no uniform system for how these names should be spelled in English
00:23and it confuses the tourists.
00:25This inconsistency comes from various factors including transliteration standards, local preferences
00:32and even just the way names were written historically.
00:36And while there's no official rule for English spelling, the confusion is real.
00:40This issue has been bothering me for a while and to be honest,
00:44I think Thailand should establish a standardized naming system for street signs.
00:49What do you think? Do you agree?
