    It’s almost as if “Thai” is not a natively English word. Thai language doesn’t even have the rare th sound, as far as know of. Why are people this arrogant.

      Yup. The th sound is pronounced with a hard “T,” and when the r is in the middle of the word it’s silent, and typically has more of an l pronunciation. It’s a very non western language, and is completely independent from Latin.
