Hi everyone,

I will be in Thailand for a number of months in 2007 to do my graduate research. A lot of this reasearch will involve interviewing weavers in Isaan. However, unfortunately I don't speak much Thai. How hard will it be to find interpretors to work with me and help translate what I want to ask people and understand their responses? Does anyone have any hints, tips, or recommendations for this? I am hoping it won't cost a tremendous amount because I only have a tiny budget. Are there any ways to keep the costs down?

Thanks very much :-:
