Good on you! For me the alphabet is the biggest hurdle. One time, many years ago, I ended up in a police station in Bangkok because of a robbery. They wanted my address but they didn't want to write it down in latin letters, so I had to pronounce my address and the woman wrote it in Thai script. I really wonder how they would ever use that address. I am pretty sure the swedish postal service would have an interesting time if they decided to mail me a document.

Working with the Thai government can be a bit of a pain - forms must be filled in Thai only. Agree with the characters. Although it’s not super hard to learn (my non-Thai wife learnt the characters pretty quickly), I wish we officially have something like pinyin. Fun fact: written Thai in Latin characters is unofficially called ‘karaoke’ [1].
