   Hi everybody,
   great website!

   I found a little mistake for the Thai proverb: ได้อย่างเสียอย่าง

   The translation for the example sentence: สมชายถ้าคุณอยากทำงานสบาย ก็ต้องได้เงินเดือนน้อยนะ มันต้องได้อย่างเสียอย่าง is completly wrong. It should be something like:

   Somchai, if you want to work comfortable (without effort), your salary will decrease. (You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.)

   HI – Great website – actually, the last suggestion by ‘Joe’ is also wrong. It should read, “if you want to work comfortably (without effort), your salary will decrease.” You need an adverb there.

   Thanks!
