As of a few months ago, Timothy Robert Torkildson, former professional clown with Ringling Bros., and missionary in Thailand from 1975-77, is an "embedded" journalist in the soi-by-soi battles in Bangkok. He writes an entertaining daily email version of the Bangkok Bulletin that I very much enjoy and find quite interesting. You may email him to request addition to his list: Tim@BangkokBulletin.com. You may also want to check out a forthcoming (under construction) online version of his bulletin that contains a few of his in-the-field submissions, at: www.BangkokBulletin.com.

I would be interested in knowing of any alumni currently serving as soldiers in Iraq or other locations that place them away from their families and homes. We do, after all, share a special bond as former Thailand missionaries.

Do they offer CTR rings in Thai. If so, what
are the letters in the Thai alphabet that they
use and what is the translation?
Thanks.

I went to college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and my university enthusiastically accepted BYU's Foreign Language Achievement Test (FLAT) for college credit. It was simple and only cost $25 (and it is still only $25).
I contacted BYU and they sent the materials to my advisor. The advisor scheduled a time for me to take the test and supplied a proctor. She then sent the materials back to BYU for grading and BYU then sent the results to my school and I received credit. That was the best $25 I spent in college.
It was a fabulous experience. My university started recommending the service to other students who wanted credit for languages that are not otherwise offered by university.
Find out more about BYU's FLAT at: http://humanities.byu.edu/cls/home.html
Once there, scroll down to Thai and then click on the "FLATS Proficiency Exam" link for more info.
Here is the blurb at the top BYU's FLAT page:
"The Foreign Language Achievement Testing program provides students the opportunity to receive up to 12 semester hours of university credit by examination. Tests are available to both BYU and non-BYU students. In order to take a FLATS test, students must register with The Foreign Language Testing Program, Humanities Research Center, Brigham Young University 3060 JKHB, Provo, Utah 84602-6098. Tel. (801) 378-3511"

Hey everyone! I have great news for all of you who are going to school and want to get some credit for your Thai, but don't want to or have the time to go go BYU. I found this company that offers the test over the phone and it transfers into all colleges. The test takes about 90 minutes and costs about $150. You can get up to 18 credit hours for this test. Please email me if you are interested and I will forward you the informatiom.
