amazing places in Thailand and in today's video I'll be teaching you Thai phrases and words you should know before coming to Thailand first thing you should know is the power

of Ka and Club Ka is for female speaker club or cup is for male speaker we use it at the end of a sentence to sound polite and you will hear it everywhere

all the time it can also mean yes for example car easy right and if you want to say no it's mine but you have to add car or crop at the end of sentence to sound

polite which is Minecraft for example All Right Moving On first word is hello we say

what the club you can say is what the to a friend or someone younger but with someone older or someone you want to pay

respect to you can add the Y gesture foreign which is a proper way of greeting and to show respect

the second word is sorry or excuse me we say cartoon Club you will hear it all the time especially when you're in the crowded City like in the BTS SkyTrain and if you want to excuse your way out

just say but if you want to say sorry to someone and you want to show them you're sorry you can say with the white gesture

called hot alright moving on it's okay or no worries we say crap for example this one is so important you will hear

it all the time a spell it's thank you we say crap next is very important where is the

toilet we say Hong Nam yutinay Club I know one of the main purpose of you guys coming to Thailand is to try street food and if you don't eat spice you want

to make sure if the dish you're eating have Spice in it or not you say pet my pet my ha

pet my crap and if the dish is spicy they would respond pet Ka Pet Club

or if it's not spicy they would say my pet ha My Pet Club as I say earlier Mai means no so not spicy [Music]

and if you cannot handle spice at all you want to reinforce your sentence to the vendors you can say my pet my side

Pig my pet my size cup to make sure that they will put no chili at all for you this phrase is for my American friend she used it all the time when she was here and it worked

perfectly for her if you're like spicy you can say pet Pit club or in Thai slang we say next it's very useful if you're a vegetarian as Thai people don't speak

English very well and you will have a hard time finding vegetarian restaurants in Thailand you may want to make sure to the vendors that they are aware you are vegetarian so you say pen monkey

to let them know that you are a vegetarian or if you want to ask if this ditch is a vegetarian you may say [Music] my club

next is asking how much we say taurai Ka taurai club and the Wonder will usually show you the numbers on the calculator and I will teach you how to

count number and bargain in Thai in the next video otherwise this video will be super long so moving on all right we are on to the last one this

one is to help you learn more Thai word which is what is this called in Thai we say
