Auttapon Prakopkong
Auttapon Prakopkong ( th, อรรถพล ประกอบของ, better known as M The Star, romanization variants: ''Attapon'' or ''Attapol'' or ''Attaphol'' from Thai) is a Thai singer and winner of the popular reality TV program '' The Star 2''. Biography He was born September 28, 1978, in Chiang Mai (Northern Thailand). Although his parents were divorced when he was only two years old, his strong determination to be a good person was always kept in his mind. This might be caused by his mother's advice as a teacher. As a teenager, he had a part-time job as a singer at the Public House in Chiang Mai. It led him to his goal of being a professional singer. The first challenge came when he applied to join "The Star 1" together with his friends; Jeiw-Piyanuth and New-Napassorn. Both of the girls went to the final round but he was knocked out in the first round. Again, his strong determination to be a singer still continued as he later joined "The Star 2" in the next year ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Romanization Of Thai
There are many systems for the romanization of the Thai language, i.e. representing the language in Latin script. These include systems of transliteration, and transcription. The most seen system in public space is Royal Thai General System of Transcription (RTGS)—the official scheme promulgated by the Royal Thai Institute. It is based on spoken Thai, but disregards tone, vowel length and a few minor sound distinctions. The international standard ISO 11940 is a transliteration system, preserving all aspects of written Thai adding diacritics to the Roman letters. Its extension ISO 11940-2 defines a simplified transcription reflecting the spoken language. It is almost identical to RTGS. Libraries in English-speaking countries use the ALA-LC Romanization. In practice, often non-standard and inconsistent romanizations are used, especially for proper nouns and personal names. This is reflected, for example, in the name Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is spelled based on direct transl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
