How many variations of the Thai R are there?

I've heard the rolled one, the English, and the Chinese one also. Which one is standard and applies to Bangkok?

Hey, maybe we should start a list of r's in every language.

Standard Thai 'r' (as prounounced by Bangkok news readers) is a trilled or rolled 'r'.

In ordinary speech (at least to my ear) most people use an 'l' sound or a sound half way between English 'l' and 'r'.

You might be able to hear some good standard Thai spoken here:

When it starts up, click on 'Thai' (you can hear the news in 22 different languages at this site).
