Thai Phrases that comes in handy

---

---

I know body language may be enough but these phrases can come in
handy especially in market/shopping and eating at food stalls or turo turo
(also you want to get a lot cheaper or make tawad in Filipino). Note: you may
encounter thai who does not speak/understand English especially vendors.

Like Filipino Lnaguage, Thai Language is easy to learn. Most of them are kung anu sulat yun ang basa. If in Philippines we
use “PO” or “OPO” at the end when we speak with respect. In thai, use “KHA” if
you’re a woman; “KRUB”


• rawang sin sood tang luan=end of the walkway...the voice at Suvarbhumi airport travelator (haha probably the 1st thai phrases you'll here and will keep on playing over and over your head throughout your day)
• Sawatdee Kha/krub =Greetings similar to aloha.Hi/hello/goodbye/goodmorning/good afternoon
• Khob Khun kha/krub=pronounce as cob coon. Meaning thank you
• Tao Rai kha/krub=how much?
• Kep Tang kha/krub=bill please(useful when trying to get the waiter’s attention
• Lod noi=any discount?
• Lod noi dai maikha/krub=can I get any cheaper than that?
• Aow An-niKha/krub=I’ll take this
• Mai Aowkha/krub=I won’t take it or no thanks. Mai means NO. (You can use it against persistent (super kulet) vendors especially in Patpong Night Market
• Kor An Lek=smaller size please
• Kor An Yai=Bigger size please
• Kor Plian An MaiKha/krub=Can I get a new stock/change a new one

I'm not a linguist or Thai expert, for reference try you tube videos or writings by fellow bloggers. While your at it have fun watching some Thailand commercial videos/movies.^_^
