Prof. Yuphaphann Hoonchamlong of the Department of Linguistics, Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand, however, notes the "language sounds like an old literary Thai, perhaps about 40 years ago" and means "Golden scorpion: a story translated from [an] English story." (Email, June 19, 1998)
Prof. Richard Barrow at the Sriwittayapaknam School in Thailand also translates the title as "The Golden Scorpion and notes that Phranakhon is "an old publishing company that is not around anymore." (Email, June 20, 1998)
