Thailand To-do: edit purge Create more articles and expand existing articles in Category:Cities, towns and villages in Thailand Fix and add data for article Vehicle registration plates of Thailand (and why license plate of Amphoe Betong is available)

Interesting how the current Prime Minister of Thailand and King Taksin have the same English spelling, their actions are quite similar also

The Thai names and pronunciations are totally different though ตากสิน and ทักษิณ The problem is from Royal Thai General System of Transcription - Manop

Taksin and Thaksin are obviously different. --Paul C 12:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I misunderstood Taksin page for Thaksin (the prime misiter). It's totally confused even for Thai people. Can you do something to distinguish between the two? (Perhaps, add ambiguity page?) Also, I removed the Thai monarch category link since I thought that this page is about Thaksin (the prime misiter). Can someone add the category back back? Dhanakorn 00:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

There're really no confusion when they are written in Thai. One in Taark-sin, with the T similar to D in Pinyin, another is more like Thug-sin. Suredeath (talk) 14:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese name

Why is there a Chinese name here also ?- Manop

Because it's Taksin's Chinese name. Mark^{your words} 23:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

And because he is semi-Chinese origin.--Jerrychen0067 07:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thai name

His Thai name means Treasure of Tak. Pawyilee 15:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, as mentioned in the article, the name derived from his holding the title of Phraya Tak and his birth name being Sin. Paul_012 ^(talk) 19:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
