One of the best parts of travelling is learning a new language! And if you\u2019re heading to Thailand, you\u2019re in luck – the Thai language is one of the most charming in the world. It\u2019s a tonal language, and although it can be difficult to learn, there are so many melodic Thai phrases you\u2019ll just love to practice. From the classic Thai greetings to meaningful phrases, here are 11 of the most beautiful Thai words to learn before you visit Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. \u0e2a\u0e27\u0e31\u0e2a\u0e14\u0e35 – S\u00e0-w\u00e0t-dee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Sa-wot-dee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: Hello. This is probably the first word you\u2019ll hear when you arrive in Thailand and the first you\u2019ll learn. It\u2019s such a warm and beautiful Thai word and you\u2019ll feel welcomed every time you hear it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: Remember to say \u2018kha\u2019 or \u2018krup\u2019 after saying “S\u00e0-w\u00e0t-dee”, depending on whether you are a man or woman. If you are a man, you\u2019ll say “S\u00e0-w\u00e0t-dee-krup”, and for a woman you\u2019ll say “S\u00e0-w\u00e0t-dee-kha<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Sabai sabai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone asks you \u201cSabai dee mai?\u201d (How are you?), you can reply \u201cSabai sabai\u201d, meaning you\u2019re feeling fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e46 – Jing-jing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Jing-jing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: This is used when you\u2019re being earnest. It is similar to \u201cReally!\u201d or \u201cSeriously!\u201d or \u201cI’m telling the truth!\u201d and you use it when you really mean something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Chee wit chee waaa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: Energetic or full of life. This is one of the best Thai phrases and it\u2019s made up of two words – \u201cchee-w\u00edt\u201d meaning \u201clife\u201d and \u201cchee-waa\u201d meaning \u201clively\u201d. The whole phrase sounds so peppy and definitely gets us in touch with our spirited side!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Choop choop<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: Kiss kiss! This is one of the cutest and most beautiful Thai words. It\u2019s the sound that a kiss makes and you can say this to your lover, your baby, your puppy. For example, \u201cR\u00e1k n\u00e1 j\u00fap j\u00fap\u201d means \u201cI love you, kiss kiss!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Why jy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: You can say this when you trust someone or have faith in them. \u201cW\u00e1i\u201d means \u201cto keep\u201d and \u201cjai\u201d means mind, heart or state of mind. So when you say \u201cW\u00e1i jai k\u0103o\u201d, it literally translates to \u201cI keep my heart with him\/her\u201d, meaning I trust or have faith in him\/her. How sweet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. \u0e0a\u0e49\u0e32\u0e46\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e22 – Cha-cha-noi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Cha-cha-noy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: You can say this when you want to do something slower or slowly. This lovely Thai phrase will definitely come in handy when you\u2019re speaking the language in Thailand, as you can say \u201cPut cha cha\u201d which means \u201cSpeak slowly\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

11. \u0e04\u0e34\u0e14\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32 – K\u00edt w\u00e2a<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Kit-wa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: To think something. This beautiful Thai word is said whenever you think of something. For example, you could say \u201cChan kit-wa<\/strong> hyu kow\u201d, which means \u201cI think I am hungry.\u201d And in that case, you better head to the nearest restaurant for some tasty Pad Thai!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. \u0e02\u0e2d\u0e42\u0e17\u0e29\u0e04\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> – <\/strong>Kor tot <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Kor-tot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: Excuse me. This is a good way to sorry, or to get someone’s attention. Use this for getting a waiter’s attention, or if you accidentally bump into someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13.  \u0e1c\u0e21\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e40\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e43\u0e08 – Mai Khao Jai <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: my-cow-jai<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: I don’t understand. Very handy when you’re stuck in a social interaction with someone who is talking fast at you. Pair it with the previous ‘Kor-tot’ for a polite way of expressing that you’re struggling to understand them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

14. \u0e2b\u0e3a\u0e22\u0e38\u0e14\/\u0e44\u0e1b – Yut \/ Bpai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: Yoot \/ Bye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next few phrases are super useful for when you’ll inevitably use a tuk tuk to get around. Impress your driver by directing them in Thai, telling them to stop <\/strong>(yut) or go <\/strong>(bpai). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. \u0e04\u0e34\u0e14\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32 – Hai Chah Long <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pronounce it like this: high-cha-lom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning: Slow Down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will come handy if your tuk tuk driver is blasting at top speed and you want them to slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to speak Thai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Learning the Thai language can be a daunting task, as it uses five tones to differentiate between otherwise identical words. So not only do you need to learn how to pronounce the words, but you\u2019ll also need to learn their proper tone, otherwise the locals may not understand what you\u2019re saying. And don\u2019t get us started on that beautiful, yet enigmatic, Thai script!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t worry – the Thai people are famously friendly and they\u2019ll appreciate any attempts you make at speaking their language. Even if you don\u2019t get it right every time, the locals are happy to communicate with you, and learning some Thai phrases will make your trip so much more enriching. You\u2019ll likely have some memorable encounters with the locals and you\u2019ll get a real insight into the Thai culture. Plus, people are always more helpful when you bring out a please and thank you in their mother tongue. Remember, a cheery “S\u00e0-w\u00e0t-dee” (hello) and a smile goes a long way in Thailand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn some Thai phrases and words before you go, a great resource is Thai-Language<\/a>, where you\u2019ll find accurate pronunciations and translations in English. You can also listen to Thai radio stations<\/a> to get a feel for the Thai tones and common words, or get on Youtube to discover some wonderful Thai musicians and sing along! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
