Thai Language for Travelers – The Basics – Ep.1



Pailin’s Kitchen

Changing things up this week! Several people have asked me to do a Thai language lesson, so here it is! Since Thailand is probably a place many of you want to visit (for visit again, for some of you!) this will probably come in handy sooner or later. Being a tourist in a country whose language you don’t speak can be frustrating, and with just a few words in your pocket, not only can it help you communicate, it can also help to break the ice with the locals—Thai people love it when we see foreigners actually try to speak in Thai. It shows that you’re making an effort, and it might just get you that little bit of help you need 🙂

There will be a whole series of Thai lesson videos coming up, so this first one goes over all the basics, and the next couple will tackle words and phrases that are useful when eating around Thailand. Let me know if you have suggestions on other videos around Thai language and culture!

  1. Nice and thank you for the video Pailin and Pailin i was surprised about Chai meaning yes And Mai Chai meaning no in Thai because in Hindi And Urdu Chai means tea… ????? I love watching your videos Pailin your the best… <3 🙂 <3 🙂 <3

  2. Hey! I just got back from bangkok (my first international trip ever). And your videos helped quite a bit. But one thing caught my attention, the Krub/male designators are hardly used if at all in bangkok. (Probably used more between natives and in smaller, more traditional cities) I practiced but was surprised by what i ran into. More casual language. Better to know more though! Also, Bowing (wai) is much more common than I thought. But it could be a traveler thing. The service community still use it. I did it all the time to make sure I was respectful. (When in doubt, always bow more)
    Regardless, thank you for the video!

  3. Im a filipina and i love thai drama that's why im eager to learn how to read and write or even speak thai language. I would love to visit Thailand soon. If there's anyone here who wants to learn filipino or English i can tutor you in exchange of teaching me how to speak and read thai language. I badly wanted to learn it. Love from the Philippines ❤️ khob khun kha

  4. First time I heard thai language I thought it sounded a bit weird but after only two thai dramas I find myself here and want to learn this beautiful language now xD Love it sooo much!! Thank you for making this video ka

  5. Thanks so much for this video! Our non-profit organization works in partnership with the United Nations (OHCHR & DPI) on a global human rights education project to record native speakers reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in all 500+ translated languages. Would you be interested in recording the UDHR (ปฏิญญาสากลว่าด้วยสิทธิมนุษยชน) in Thai?
