Hi all,

i am headin over to thailand; specifically phuket soon and was wondering what sayings/words/phrases would be worth knowing?

i thought no thankyou would be useful how would you say that...?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Tom.

No! Thank you = Mai Krub Kob Kun
How much does it cost? = Ra Ka Tao Rai Krub
Hello = Sawasdee Krub
Help me = Chuai Duai Krub

Note: If you are a female, change Krub to Ka.

Have fun,

A phrase I found useful was mai nam tan (no sugar please). Thai drinks can be diabetes-inducing!

Hi,

Meow (thats how i say it anyway! just like the cat) This means No. Works brill with tailors hassling you. They love you saying it too for some reason!

ps, how do you pronounce " how much does it cost"?

thanks heaps everyone...

cheers...tom
