Yingluck Shinawatra - Pronunciation advice

Well, another Asian country has a woman prime minister for the first time. In Thailand, Thaksin's sister Yingluck Shinawatra becomes the first woman prime minister of that country. Her name is pronounced as

yeeng-luck shin-nah-WAHT

यींगलक शिनावात 

Well the first vowel is long and the last syllable is silent. Otherwise pretty much straightforward.
