In a previous blog post long long ago I talked about Thai vocabulary for use at the pharmacy and how to use these words in sentences. This post will help give you practice with those words, as well as reading and spelling them. Print out this sheet. Then, below, draw a line from the English word on the left to match the Thai word on the right.
As a side note, within the last few years I’ve been finding it extremely difficult to find general hygiene products that do *not* have skin whitening chemicals in them. Everything from soap, to shampoo, shaving cream, sunblock, etc now has it. Being a white American, I’d rather not bleach my skin. It will also be difficult to find shampoo that isn’t designed for long dry black Asian hair. Most of the products are sold to Asia in general, so you’ll typically have English written on them to some extent.

i’m sorry but your english & thai words never seem to match up. could you maybe come up with a diff format or something so they line up? i don’t think tampons are ไอโอดีน. it makes using your blog difficult. maybe put the words in the same column right next to each other? sorry. otherwise, this would be very useful.

@mg As explained by the title and the very first sentence, this is a Word Match challenge. As such, the Thai and English words are intentionally not matching. =P
See the link in the first sentence for the vocabulary list you’re looking for.
