Abstract
The notion of ‘Thai English’ used by Thais in different fields has often been viewed as broken
English. In the tourism industry, the majority of Thai tour guides demonstrated their incorrect English
when communicating with foreign tourists while a few showed effective spoken communication. This
study aimed to analyze the features of the mesolectal variety of Thai English used by four tour guides
in three provinces along the Andaman Sea – Phuket, Krabi, and Pang-nga. It employed a transcription
of Thai tour guides’ spoken English which was recorded while communicating with foreign tourists, as
well as interviews regarding their perspectives towards their use of Thai English. Using Kachru’s (1983;
1985; 2005) World Englishes and Platt et al.’s (1984) “lectal varieties of New Englishes” as theoretical
frameworks, the analysis revealed that the tour guides conveyed salient linguistic characteristics of
English in relation to a moderate level of Thai English.
