Dear Hillary,
Actually, the correct spelling for the trans gendered person is kathoey. So, both of you are wrong. When the word is spoken in conversation, people know what you are talking about. You say Patty ya, I say Pat i ya. Same=same.

Dear G.S., Florida,
As the T-shirt says, “Same, Same – But Different.” Thank you for the erudite explanation, but I am not sure if Singha Jerry is ready for it. Or ready to read it? Transliterations are always open for debate, but if you want to really read something different, use one of the electronic translating programs to go from Thai into English.
