How about Richard please?


ริชาร์ด

My name is Richard, and I always spelt it as ริชชาด - For the last dozen years or so> That's also what on myt marriage certificate, so I'm stick with it. As a transliteration, I guess it depends where you put the emphasis and who transliterattes it. This wold be Rich-Chart, which sound right when a Thai says it.

Sanscrit sylables end in sala-I, but not Thai (other than borrowed words from what I understand) so the spelling abobe Ri-Cha(miss the RD) - would be pronounced Richah (the little symbol above the Ror Rua would cancel out the RD at the end).

You may have been waiting on these translation a while because this sort of abstract single phrasing doesn't translate well. It's nice in English but just getting a direct translation really doesn't give you anything of equal significance in Thai. I've given some translations but I probably wouldn't recommend using them for a tattoo. This, however, may get some others to post better ideas.

Many Thanks

transliterated yes! (in a continuing forward direction; ahead)

or rather Onward not onwards

?

That would require you to sit down for a long conversation with someone who has insight into Thai language and culture and find some ideas (not those above) which strike you just as strongly but would also have meaning/significance within a Thai cultural context. I obviously would not be able to give you any of those statements of significance from this position. Oh and you're welcome.

Beyond time. - เหนือกาลเวลา

Beyond space. - เหนือห้วงอวกาศ

Beyond life. - เหนือชีวิต

There are the translations which Thai people use a lot.

in thai หมอหมา would mean the english equivalent of "dog doctor" (i guess like a vet).

maybe you would want
หมาหมอ

although wait for others first.
