Basic Thai language survival kit for newbies

[Benny10]

I post this handy selection for a better understanding when talking to BG’s.

 

Please DO NOT use this kind of communication when talking to everyday Thais.

If you are lucky, they might just look down on you, but if you are not, then you might end up hospitalised.

 

Additions are welcome.

 

koewai: water buffalo (used as a derogatory remark for fat, old, stupid, rich Farang)

Actually pronounced "Kwai," with one syllable, it means stupid.

Some Thais love to make foreigners say this word, because when slightly mispronounced as "Kai," it means penis.

 

bum bum: have sex

Add: "eub eub" (nicer than bum bom), and "tam ngan" (do it).

 

meng da: boyfriend (usually Thai boyfriend who leeches money from the bargirl to sustain his lifestyle)

This term actually means approximately ‘Pimp”; so don't ask to be a girl’s "maeng da", instead, be her "faen" (intimat friend)

 

pom tshob khun: I like you

To be more intimate, use an intimate pronoun: "pom chob tuh."

 

baa!: crazy

 

baa! klang: certifiably nuts (the exclamation mark creates the right tone)

 

ting tong: silly

 

baa baa bo bo: crazy (it's the sound a crazy person makes)

 

khee in the following literally means "shit," as in "khee muk" (nose shit, snot), "khee huu?" (ear shit, ear wax), and "khee ta" (eye shit,sleep in your eye).

 

Also used to talk about a habitual action:

 

khee mao: habitually drunk (mao means drunk)

 

khon khee mao: drunkard

 

khee choo: Chuu means to cheat (on someone, not at something), so it doesn't mean “butterfly”, though "butterfly" is used by the girls because "Pi? Seua!" (butterfly) has the same meaning.

 

khee ghohok (you dropped a syllable: to lie habitually)

 

khon khee gohok: a liar

 

gong (long O): To take advantage or cheat someone else

 

khee gong: to cheat habitually

 

khon Khee gong: a cheater

 

lor: handsome DON'T BELIEVE THEM !! (the "r" is not pronouced and used only to mark a long and soft ooh-tone)

 

suay: beautiful (rising tone at the end)

 

na rak: Rak mean love, so this is literally worthy of love. Approximately, it means "cute" as in the personality trait.

 

na gliet: Worthy of hate, but really "disgusting" Often used teasingly when something impolite is done.

 

ji (politely, Ji, very short and high): the pussy

 

ju (for children, jiew?): the penis

 

jub jub: kiss

 

hom: The Thai version of a kiss, really more of a sniff-kiss on the cheek (or a long slow smell near the nape of the neck, if you're hot).

 

ja set: I'm coming

 

set yang: are you finished? Have you come yet?

 

sai luy: put it in!

 

sai see: I said, put it in, already

 

sai laew yang: Have you put it in yet?

 

mai aow thoot: Not in the ass!

 

jep: it hurts (“j” pronounced as “ch”)

Man I can't believe some you guys are saying this stuff. They may smile but believe me its just for show as most of what has been posted in pretty impolite from a Thai point of view. Even though I know most of it I woud never say it.

my small experience is that if these are the only word in thai that you know keep them to yourself until you learn some other words first... you make yourself kind of a mark and a jerk if you talk about dick, pussy and ass with a girl you just met. they find it very impolite and even though they laugh and giggle and say farang nah rak they are thinking' "great another stupid farang." or at least wait and until you might know the girl a little bit and then bring them up in a cool joking way... they will not be impressed by knowing the thai word for your dick...
