Depends where you come from in Thailand
I find BKK thai alot easier to understand than an isaan accent or even a southern one. There is a big difference for sure
In my opinion there is no correct spelling from converting thai to roman, its phonetic so best as it sounds
simpe example krap, kurp, kap, whatevers suits
Quite funny about the teerak thing, iv only ever heard thai women talking to farangs and vice versa saying teerak, another 1 to keep the farang happy
Yip and without even knowing it, ive got a khon kaen accent when i speak thai
