Khap and ka
Before continuing with the greetings and other useful Thai phrases, we should first cover some of the basic rules. To make your sentence or question more polite and respectful, it’s important to end your sentences with the word khap/ka when you are conversing with someone in Thai. It’s based on the gender of the person speaking, not who you are talking to. So if you are a male, you should finish your sentence with the word khap or krap. If you are a female, be sure to complete your sentence w...
Khun
Khun is a polite way to address a person. You add the word before a person’s name. While it is similar to using Mr. or Ms. in English, there’s no direct correlation to English.
Out of all useful Thai phrases, greeting someone and saying thank you are the most essential Thai phrases you need to know. Mastering these Thai phrases will help connect you a bit more with the people you meet in the country.
I’m hungry – Hiu
If you want to tell someone that you’re hungry in Thai, just say “hiu”.
How much is this dish? – Jarn-Nee Rah-Car Tao-Rai?
Some restaurants and street food stalls may not include the price in their menu. If that’s the case, you can say “jarn-nee rah-car tao-rai?” If the phrase is too long and too hard to pronounce, you can use the shorter version: “tao-rai krap/ka?” (how much?).
Not spicy – Mai Phed
This is definitely one of the most useful Thai phrases to remember if you can’t stand spicy foods. Thai food tends to have lots of chilli and other spices, so if you don’t want to set your mouth and stomach on fire, be sure to learn how to say “mai phed.” Some restaurants and street food stalls may still put a small number of chilli in your dish even after saying mai phed. Therefore, if you don’t want any chilli in your food, you can say “mai sai phrik,” which means “don’t put chilli in my fo...
Turn left/turn right/go straight – leo sai/leo khwaa/dtrong bpai
Don’t let anyone rip you off by knowing how to give some basic directions in Thai can. Some taxi drivers may deliberately take wrong turns to make the ride longer, so they get more money from you. Therefore, use Google Map and show them that you know the directions to reach your destination. Being able to direct a driver will save you so much time and money. Use “leo sai” to ask the driver to turn left, “leo khwaa” to turn right, and “dtrong bpai” to go straight.
Can you drive faster? I’m late – Kap Reo Reo Dai Mai, Chan Sai Laew
When you’re late but the driver is slow, use this phrase to ask them to drive faster.
Slow down – Hai Chah Long
Feeling unsafe because the driver is speeding? Say “hai chah long” if you want to ask them to drive slower.
How much is this item? – An Nee Tao Rai?
Some sellers use the infamous “farang price” for foreigners, which is way more expensive than what a Thai would pay. Asking the price of an item in Thai can truly reduce your chances of paying double the original price.
Can you give me a discount? – Lot Noi Dai Mai?
When shopping in a traditional market, be sure to negotiate for a discount. In most cases, the seller will give you lower prices!
Do you have it in different colours? – Mee See Eun Mai?
Find something you like, but want it in another colour? Ask the seller if they have the item in different colours by saying, “mee see eun mai?” These are just a few common Thai phrases that we find helpful. Keep practising before you fly to Thailand, and you’re all set for a fantastic journey. If you find yourself in a situation where you don’t know how to respond in Thai, just flash your best smile!
