Can someone explain to me please the differences between เมื่อ, เวลา and ตอน? (either the way they're used or little differences in regards to their meaning) ,thanks .

I think เมื่อ and เวลา are fairly interchangeable, meaning a point in time like เมื่อวาน but ตอน means a period of time like ตอนเย็น ? But the more I think of it the more I can see exceptions to this so I'm not really sure! Good question.

I think that ตอน Dtawn is the colloquial form of เวลา way-lah and relates to a period of time

 

Not sure about เมื่อ Meu-a. I know it means when, but not sure about when to use this instead of the others.

Maybe it can be used in the same way as the others

 

ตอนเด็ก

เมื่อเป็นเด็ก

 

do these mean basically the same?

Chasing girls can be expensive

But it's more expensive if you catch one
