    Daily Thai News Summary: 14 June 2016 Daily Thai News Summary: 14 June 2016 1. Dutch Investors keen on Thai infra projects Source: The Nation (link) Dutch investors have shown interest in the Thai government’s infrastructure projects, foreseeing the Kingdom’s competency to be a central attraction of the Asean region, especially the Greater Mekong Subregion, according to Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn. After meeting yesterday with the Netherlands' newly appointed ambassador to Thailand, Karel Johannes Hartogh, Apiradi said Dutch enterprises had told the ambassador they were interested in investing in Thailand and participating in its infrastructure projects. "Dutch enterprises have foreseen Thailand as a centre of Asean and a link to countries in the Greater Mekong[Subregion] and Asean. Besides investing in infrastructure-development projects, they are also interested in the manufacturing sectors and service businesses, using Thailand as a springboard to Asean markets," she said. Thailand and the Netherlands have also agreed to collaborate in technology and innovation and in the agricultural sector, particularly water management, in which that country has high expertise. 2. EXIM Bank “to be a team player in broadening global trade, investment” Source: The Nation (Link) The Export Import Bank of Thailand wants to be a team player in Thailand’s effort to expand trade and investment worldwide, said its new president, Pisit Serewiwattana. "With few branches, we are unable to compete with commercial banks, so we should set a clear policy on delivering total solutions that will not compete with them. We will combine credit facilities with trade and investment insurance to target SMEs," he said.

As was the case last year, POLO+10 is once again present at the most important tourna- ment in the polo world – the Palermo Open. The feedback from Argentina was overwhel- mingly positive last year and reassured that we want to offer a communicative platform for the polo community that also comprises international editions, not just those that focus on European regions. But this is just one aspect of our current plans. Plenty of new countries are just starting to embark on their polo careers, including Kazakhstan and Monaco, and we have devoted some space in this edition to highlighting these countries. We published the first edition of our POLO+10 magazine at the start of 2004. Back then, we confronted some doubt as some in Germany and Europe did not consider the sport important enough for it to have its own publication. Ten years later, we are all better informed – including the naysayers. For our tenth anniversary, we would like to thank you for your generous support, friendly communication and your many new visions about the sport! POLO+10 has made friends and partners across the world and follows the sport from an unrivalled international perspective.

  • English Translation of Thai Pronouns How Two Translators Have Dealt with Thai Personal Pronouns in Four Reigns
    ! " English Translation of Thai Pronouns How Two Translators Have Dealt with Thai Personal Pronouns in Four Reigns Camille Nampetch Student VT 2019 Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, 15 hp Engelska Abstract This study has looked into what translation techniques Tulachandra and Barang have used in their English translation of Thai personal pronouns in Pramoj’s novel Four Reigns. Thai uses different personal pronouns to different people to signify social status, gender and intimacy, which may be challenging for the English translations to achieve. With the limited material available, the personal pronouns sadet, khun, mae, pho and various kinship terms and titles were explored. The results showed that the most frequent translation technique was equivalence, that is, the translating of Thai pronouns into the English I or you. The borrowing technique was also used from time to time. Due to language and cultural differences between Thai and English, it is not possible for the translations to achieve a hundred percent accuracy in terms of underlying meaning of the personal pronouns. The translators did, however, make an effort in keeping the special traits of the pronouns by adding a proper noun into the sentence.
