Learn to Speak a Little Thai


Impress the locals with your amazing ability to speak a little Thai.

So I've decided that I'm going to start learning one new Thai word or phrase a day. I figure it's a good start. If you're into it, why not learn with me? I'll post the word up here daily.

Impress the locals with your amazing ability to speak a little Thai. 

Note that if you are guy, replace "Ka" with "Krap". 

Let's go over some basic words that I already know (I don't really know many). This list will be added to with the words/phrases of the day as we go:
