I’m so SICK of the irresponsible farang websites like Thai Visa that, by using shock headlines, in an effort to get page views, don’t give a damn that they’re causing panic and unnecessary worry.

Nice to see at least one westerner is sticking to the truth :)

I’m salivating. Do you agree with this chart about spiciness of Thai food? I found it really interesting but not so sure it’s really accurate.

Have to disagree with you there. The Thai word for head comes from Sanskrit शीर्ष (śīrṣa) which has nothing to do with the word श्री (Śrī) which you’ve mentioned. The latter, which is more prevalent, in Thai is written ศรี with the vowel over the ร. Notice how the word ศีรษะ is written differently. The vowel is over the ศ. This signifies different etymologies. Regardless, in both instances, the R is completely silent once it has entered the Thai vernacular. The word is supposed to pronounced exactly as the post states, i.e. see-sa.
