Thai Language for Travelers - The Basics - Ep.1

  • Changing things up this week! Several people have asked me to do a Thai language lesson, so here it is! Since Thailand is probably a place many of you want to visit (for visit again, for some of you!) this will probably come in handy sooner or later. Being a tourist in a country whose language you don't speak can be frustrating, and with just a few words in your pocket, not only can it help you communicate, it can also help to break the ice with the locals-Thai people love it when we see foreigners actually try to speak in Thai. It shows that you're making an effort, and it might just get you that little bit of help you need :)
    There will be a whole series of Thai lesson videos coming up, so this first one goes over all the basics, and the next couple will tackle words and phrases that are useful when eating around Thailand. Let me know if you have suggestions on other videos around Thai language and culture!

    About Pai:
    Pailin “Pai” Chongchitnant is the author of the Hot Thai Kitchen cookbook, co-host of a Canadian TV series One World Kitchen on Gusto TV, and creator and host of the CZcams channel Pailin's Kitchen.
    Pai was born and raised in southern Thailand where she spent much of her "playtime" in the kitchen. She traveled to Canada to study Nutritional Sciences at the University of British Columbia, and was later trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in San Francisco.
    After working in both Western and Thai professional kitchens, she decided that her passion really lies in educating and empowering others to cook at home via CZcams videos, her cookbook, and cooking classes. She currently lives in Vancouver, and goes to Thailand every year to visit her family. Visit her at hot-thai-kitchen.com

    Thai language isn't hard in grammar, but hard in tone of word. The melody of word will make foreigners confuses easily. But don't worry if you guys come to Thailand and try to communicate with ppl in Thai, every with help and Thai ppl love the foreigners who try to speak in Thai

      @jadekayak01 Před 5 lety +2

      Very correct.
      Thai people really appreciate others completely screwing up the language but TRYING to get it right.
      I dont get that any more cause i speak to well to be a begginer.

    I love you're cooking videos, as well as your language classes. They're short, sweet, and complete. Considering that I live here in Thailand, these phrases are excellent for me to begin with.
    It's so important that we all try to learn the basics, to show respect to our host country and people. The Thai people have been awesome family and I, and I'm happy to reciprocate that.

    Thanks for this video! My friend traveled to Thailand for this first time in February and has been corresponding with a woman he met while there. I’ve been trying to teach him some phrases but you’ve summed everything up perfectly.
    For yes/no questions, I sometimes just answer with a “ka” as a positive acknowledgement of the question. Mainly this is when speaking to my parents or their friends, but as you said, it’s situational. Looking forward to more language videos!

    You should open Thai language school! Seriously, your teaching method is so good (dee).
    If you plan to open the school, please let me know I would like to be your student 👨‍🎓 .
    I just visited Thailand 3 weeks ago and had a good time. Thanks for your first Thai Lesson. Please continue to do more, Kha pon Krup 🙏
