I'm pretty sure it's sa-tar-nee rot-fai in stead of pai... Pai means go.

 

Also found the website copy-pasted it from http://www.thailanguage.org/thai/words.asp

ใกล้ 'Glai' also means near - it just shows how important tones are. Also, ชั้น - floor (of building) is closer to 'chan' than 'chun'. Best to take a small phrase book and point to avoid confusion.

Hmm thanks for the share but yes some sounds can have different meanings .

Since your doing Thai directions - ______ + tii nai? ( _____ is Where?)

 

baan tii nai / yuu tii nai (Where's your house? Where do you live?)
