Greetings and Basic Phrases
Whenever you speak to a stranger in Thailand, it's polite to end your sentence in khrap if you're a man, kha if you're a woman - especially after sawat dii (hello/goodbye) and khawp khun (thank you). Khrap and kha are also often used to answer "yes" to a question, though the most common way is to repeat the verb of the question (preceded by mai for "no"). | Hello | sawat dii | | Where are you going? (not always meant literally, but used as a general greeting) | pai nai? | | I'm out having fun/I'm travelling | pai thiaw (answer to pai nai, almost untranslatable pleasantry) | | Goodbye | sawat dii/la kawn | | Good luck/cheers | chok dii | | Excuse me | khaw thawt | | Thank you | khawp khun | | How are you? | sabai dii reu ? | | I'm fine | sabai dii | | What's your name? | khun cheu arai ? | | My name is ? | phom (men)/diichan (women) cheu ? | | I come from ? | phom/diichan maa jaak ? | | I don't understand | mai khao jai | | Do you speak English? | khun phuut phasaa angkrit dai mai? | | Do you have ? ? | mii ? mai?? | | Is ? possible? | ? dai mai? | | Can you help me? | chuay phom/diichan dai mai? | | face='arialhelvetica' size='-2'>(I) want ? | ao ? | | (I) would like to ? | yaak ja ? | | (I) like ? | chawp ? |
