Documents in Non-English Language

The cited document is not authored in the English language. Consequently, it is imperative that the title be presented in Thai Romanization, which involves transliterating Thai characters into Roman characters. It is advisable to utilize a transliteration program developed by NECTEC, accessible at http://164.115.23.167/plangsarn/index.php

Furthermore, it is essential to provide English translations for these titles, enclosed within square brackets [...], as elucidated in the subsequent example:

Thai Title in Romanization [English Translation]

This approach facilitates clarity and comprehension when referencing non-English documents in an English-language context.
