Thai Language for Travelers - The Basics - Ep.1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2018
- 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!

Not only are you a good cook, but also a great teacher! You can explain very well👍 So clear and I love how your voice sounds
That was so helpful, you're as good at teaching cooking as language.
Hi, sister I'm plng to go in Thailand
@Pailin's Kitchen Listening to you, a beautiful song comes to mind:
You're beautiful,
You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true!
Thai language isn't hard in grammar, but hard in tone of word. The melody of word will make foreigners confuses easily. But don't worry if you guys come to Thailand and try to communicate with ppl in Thai, every with help and Thai ppl love the foreigners who try to speak in Thai
im farang who love going to Thailand I have had over 100 hours of thai classes. I love trying to speak thai with thai people. I still have a lot to learn specially with tones but I love it.
Thanks for the foreword. I'm going to Thailand this summer and I'm starting this language from scratch, so this information will prove useful.
Very correct.
Thai people really appreciate others completely screwing up the language but TRYING to get it right.
I dont get that any more cause i speak to well to be a begginer.

True, I had a hard time explaining on the buss that I wanted to go to tuk Chang, (elephant building) the tuk was pronounced durk, got there in the end with the help of people on the buss, everybody helped, that's what thailand is about... 🇹🇭👍

Tack Oskar det underlättade mycket när man ville lyssna om på någon specifik fras.
You could not have made this any more welcoming, easy, gentle and interesting. You are what makes Thailand beautiful
Please do a full language series !! You’re the best and clearest Thai language teacher so far!
You’re really an ambassador of your culture Pailin. Thank you for this. Although I love the way Thai language sounds, I have a very tough time imitating it. I’ll keep trying. 👍
Sawadee ka. I was adopted from Bangkok by Swedish parents when I was 6 weeks old and grew up in Sweden speaking Swedish as my mother tounge, so now I'm trying to learn my native language Thai and culture
I love you're cooking videos, as well as your language classes. They're short, sweet, and complete. Considering that I live here in Thailand, these phrases are excellent for me to begin with.
It's so important that we all try to learn the basics, to show respect to our host country and people. The Thai people have been awesome family and I, and I'm happy to reciprocate that.
You are good lady, I am very much pleased. Your voice is very sweet and melodious. None other than you explained the basic principles as you. Thank you very much.
The lesson is easy to understand both in Thai and English. Thank you so so much❤️❤️
this is going to be very useful for when i visit thailand
This is absolutely positively awesome! Thank you so so much for this video!! This is one of the best Thai language videos I found on TH-cam
I think I was kinda secretly hoping for something like this :D
you help bring Thailand more closer to the world.
I love you Pai! 😘 😘😘 from the 🇵🇭
I will be travelling to Thailand next week, and this video will definitely be in my hand throughout the trip. Thanks, Pai! ☺️
You're a really good teacher! As you speak both English and Thai like a native, you can explain things far better than a lot of other teachers out there. More language lessons would be great
I’ve always hoped for Pai’s Thai lessons! Thank you, you’re the best!
Very informative..been in Thailand for 13 years and your a great teacher.
Congratulations! You're very kind to teach us this smiling , although serious, language.
I love your lesson, because it’s nice to hear your voice and its nice to see you, I mean easy to the eyes and ears. Please do more. I’m sending this video to my daughter who is half Thai and can’t speak thai.
I can now see how beautiful the Thai language is. You are the manifestation of Thai culture and language and life. You charm the world.
what a great teacher
Thank you Pailin. I am learning. I love your voice!
YOU ARE AWESOME PERSONALTY
I FEEL POSITIVE ENERGY WHEN I AM WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS,THANK YOU
KOB KUN CRUB
thanks for your helping in teaching Thai language, it's really amazing.
Wow, thank you so much Pailin! I love the way you explain things. From your cooking to languages. It's always very well articulated, thoughtful and easy to understand for international audiences. You have a gift. Looking forward to see more Thai language video tutorials such as this! :)
Aw, thanks!
Love it! My beautiful Thai language.
This is the perfect video to start with when dipping your toes in Thai travel language. Thank you Pai!
Lots to learn. Love the sounds of the language.
Thanks for this video! My friend traveled to Thailand for this first time in February and has been corresponding with a woman he met while there. I’ve been trying to teach him some phrases but you’ve summed everything up perfectly.
For yes/no questions, I sometimes just answer with a “ka” as a positive acknowledgement of the question. Mainly this is when speaking to my parents or their friends, but as you said, it’s situational. Looking forward to more language videos!
Well done! I love how bilingual you are, and how clearly you taught. I teach school in San Francisco. I'll try these phrases out!
Fabulous idea Pai, I love this ! and you explain everything so well. I've been watching ThaiPod101 to learn Thai but your video is much better. Well done Pai.
Thank you!!! Keep these videos coming. I’m going to Thailand in September and this is very useful.
What a great video ! thanks Pai. I'm going to be hooked on these language videos (as well as the food ones of course).
Loved this video as much as I loved your cooking videos! I hope you make more of these series please. Thank you as always! Love from Korea ♡
Best Thai lesson ever, would have been great before my trip to Thailand 😂
Thanks for the Thai language lessons... Very nice☺

Thank you, Pailin. Very interesting.
Pls do more Thai learning language video. You explain it clearly and easy to understand, unlike other thai language tutorial ..
This is excellent. I love Thai language. Your clear explanations are very helpful - particularly the "ground rules" you laid out up front which are things that have confused me but you cleared up nicely!
Very interesting! Thanks for the lesson! "I want to make sure I'm polite when I am demanding things from people!" cracked me up!
Mam You are the best tutor for thai language! thanks a tonne! for making this video
Thank you for this video. You reminded me why we call your country, the land of smile !

Kob khun mak mak...I’m in the process of learning the Thai language as a 4th language for myself. And I love this video from you! ❤️
Hello Pailin'Thanks for posting this video.you are an excellent Thai teacher.It is very easy to learn the Thai language from you due to your excellent English.
This is very useful
You are my hero, just saying. I don't get a lot of guests or clients from Thailand at my job (cruise terminals) but when I do, I get a lot of smiles when I say hello in Thai! Thank you!!!!
I just love this.
Great video. Thai is by far the most beautiful and pleasant language in the world!
Thanks for the new knowledge. I love Thai people!
Really I like thai language...
Love this episode
Yaaaasss! Can't wait for the restaurant episode. Please include phrases about being a vegetarian.
In December, I have to go Bangkok for a few days. Thanks for details explanation on it. I'll keep and watching on it. Many thanks.
I speak thai fluently but I watch this video anyway. It made me smile.
This video what I need! I really super love it so much!! :) Thank you so much for making this video :) I am from Seoul, Korea and getting ready to go to Thailand for work this month! it helps me a lot and I won't be confusing!!
Well explained and easier to understand, at least for me. Thank you, lady....l meant teacher.😊😀
The explanation for there being no "please" was very useful. I've been looking for this for a while! I'm a big fan of your cooking videos and have been cooking Thai meals from your recipes for 6 months (7 days a week). You make cooking very easy - so I'm interested in your language videos too, as I am also learning. It would help if you could include the Thai script too - as I'm trying to avoid romanised versions of the words! Looking forward to the next video :)
Very good language lesson. Hope to see more of those!!!
I like this video so much , please keep on posting alot of them, i am half thai and cannot speak the language to communicate with family.
Thank you so much, I hope to travel to Thailand in the future and want to be respectful
Will be useful for my next trip to Thailand！👍. Thanks！
Pai this is AMAZING! :) Thank you Ka!
this was so fabulous!! the best way to learn languages for sure. can't wait to see more. makes me want to go back to thailand!
