What is the difference the two? Both seem to mean "to be".

Are they used in different situations, or are they interchangeable?

OK... if you or anyone else can explain the difference, or could direct me to a link that
explains it, I'd appreciate that :)

(I tried googling "เป็น vs คือ in Thai" but couldn't find anything.)
