Not that I can detect.

For instance: หาเมนบอร์ดช๊อคเกต775 returns 42k results, and is not exactly a common combination of words on google.com.

Extra points if you know what it stands for :)



> หาเมนบอร์ดช๊อคเกต775

'Haa men bord chok ket 775' = 'Find motherboard socket 775.'

I would have thought that 'socket' would be a direct English transliteration, and use ซ (s) not ช (ch) though.

Are you in Thailand, Jacques? Also, what makes you think this is such an uncommon phrase? It may not rival English, but there are plenty of Thai speakers out there, in many countries.


> Are you in Thailand, Jacques?

I wish.

On google.com it would be an uncommon phrase. On the Thai version of google not so much I guess.


Google Translate claims, "Find Motherboard Shock gate 775."

I don't know what that is supposed to be a reference to.


Close enough 'shock gate' is funny, phonetically very close to 'socket' right?


Here to claim my extra points. Btw, tried searching for Gmail messages in Thai before? It doesn't work.


Such a claim would need to be accompanied by proof ;)
