Information - Thai Language
Thai is a tonal language belonging to the group
of Ka-Tai languages, the five tones are monotone, low, falling,
high, and rising. This can be a rather complicated language
for the visitor. Although English is quite widely understood,
particularly in Bangkok and major travel destinations, speaking
Thai is challenge and makes you be closer to Thai people and
culture.
We have separated some Thai words and phases, which may be
useful on your travel to Thailand, into categories below.
When you want to be polite, always end your
words, phases or sentences with khrap (for male speaker)
or kha (for female speaker).
