Hi everyone. I've noticed that when I play a Thai sentence with "และ" using TTS, there's a slight pause before "และ" is spoken. I understand that some Thai text with this word can include a space before "และ", so I get why a pause is used there. But even when there is no space, the TTS says it with a pause. This happens with my system (Mac) TTS as well as Google's TTS. I'm just curious about whether this is a formal thing when speaking Thai, a quirk of TTS or something else.

im trying to make a bootleg shirt of this harley davidson shirt that has thai on it, this isn’t what i need translated. Can someone Dm me who knows and understands thai and help me get this sorted. it would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance 😖

Hello. I know almost nothing about the Than language, but a friend and I are painting a bowl for another friend who's Thai. Can anyone tell me if the below is correct? We want to say, " food is love". And, if needed, where we can break up the words to make the text fit on the bowl?

อาหารคือความรัก

I appreciate any help.

Could someone with perfect pitch identify which notes correspond to the 5 tones of the Thai language?

This tones are actually: Normal, bass, high pitch that are quite flat, despite the bass tend to go down deeper at this end of the prononciation, and the high pitch one as well but tend to stal longer high before falling down a bit.

Then there is 2 that are well modulated: One that rise up, as someone who ask a question innocently, And one that "bounce", or "dig". It start lower in the bass that the second tone, goes even lower, then rise up slightly higher than the original note.

(The 5 names commonly used for this tones are wrong regarding their nature. Therefore I don’t mention them here.)

Hello, Is there any stipulation that I have to enter Thailand within a certain period of time after the DTV visa is issued?

I am a local in Southern Thailand, And the Flood has closed off a ton of roads, It’s severe enough for a red flag to be raised, Fortunately, I live in the country side by the hills so, It doesn’t effect me much, I’ll just have to live from all the eggs and rice that I have left, Hahaha…

For the people suffering a lot more damage, I hope you can recover soon, and Good Luck!

ผมเป็นคนไทยภาคใต้ และถนนหลายแห่งถูกปิดเพราะนํ้าท่วม มันรุนแรงพอที่ทำให้ธงแดงถูกชูขึ้น แต่ผมอยู่ในชนบทบริเวณเนินนํ้าท่วมจึงไม่ได้ส่งผลกระทบอะไรมาก ผมคงจะต้องอยู่กับไข่และข้าวที่มีเหลือ 555…

สำหรับคนที่ถูกนํ้าท่วมจัดหนัก ขอให้คุณได้มีโอกาสให้ซ่อมแซมบ้านและรักษาตัวเอง และขอให้โชคดี

I want to make green curry and asked neighbors for lime leaves. One of my neighbors as it turns out is Thai, and told me lime leaves will ruin the flavor. I’m not Thai so it seems wise to maybe defer to someone who is, for this basic culinary question.

Curious though, is this view standard for Thai folks? Some of the recipes I found emphasized lime leaves as pretty much a make or break ingredient for the dish.

TY!!

Hi everyone

I’m trying to write the names Boos, Wave, Shin, and Pearl in Thai, but when I used Google Translate, it gave me the literal meanings instead of the names. Could anyone help me with how to write these names correctly in Thai script?

I’d really appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hello,

Need input on the following:

1. I am retired military and receive a monthly check. Is the a Visa service you can recommend that won’t charge ridiculous fees for help getting an over 50 retirement visa?

2. I suffer from chronic pain due to military service. I have been prescribed a small dose of opioid daily. Is the an English speaking doctor I can share VA records of that and be prescribed locally?

I know about applying for a permit to be approved by Thai government authorities.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback!

Hello! I’m writing a novel set in a university, and one of my main characters is Thai. I’ve given the character the nickname “Boss,” but I’m struggling to come up with a fitting first name and surname for him.

I have a basic understanding of Thai sentence structure and can write in Thai, but I’m still unsure how Thai names work—especially when it comes to creating something authentic and meaningful. I’d also like to avoid names that are too closely associated with celebrities.

If anyone could offer guidance or suggestions, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and help 🫶🏽

This show is a drama that reenactment from people’s real life experience that was believed to be a result of karma. The show is similar to 1000 ways to die, but more sophisticated production, the story drags longer, and has theme of karma. Some episodes were brutal that it scared me. Looking back at it, I like the aesthetic of the show, it has Thai’s old vibe.

I’m trying to learn Thai, and something I’ve noticed when watching shows/interviews is that words like “aroi” will often be pronounced as “aloi” or “kha” as “ha,” “chai” as “shai.” Is this common, and will people understand me if I use either version?

Can someone help me, what is the best way to learn Thai tones, I already know how to read but I'm still struggling with the tones if you have any tips how to master the tones 🙏🥺 please help.

A Thai friend sent me รักนะเด็กโง่ and I am not really sure if he means it. Do they seriously confess using this phrase? I was caught off guard and just reacted with 'LOL'.

Live in the US, but would like to ship to Thailand to a person we know that lives there. How would I shop online and send it to them? What is the best way to save on shipping? I am trying to ship to the Suphisara Kuntana Thajumpee District Muang Phayao 5600. This would be the first time sending something. Thank you.

I’ve been having anxiety learning the language, the alphabet, and everything in between. I don’t know where to start. I tried learning through writing the common words and sentences but I think it isn’t enough. I want to communicate as well as read the language. I am 1 month and less than a week in Bangkok. Should I buy text book? I want to learn everything.

I can’t also speak the language because of my anxiety.

๚ still used in Thai writing or do you just use a period now? I noticed the gboard doesn't have ๚ or ฯ. Is there a reason?

Hello everyone. I am looking for a fluent or native Thai speaker who could help me to translate a written conversation. A translation app does not work well as in the conversation I need to translate, slang / informal language and abbreviations are used. Would anyone be willing to help? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a screen mirroring project and am trying to do localization across different regions, including Thailand. I've just started learning myself, but Thai is such a difficult language and I can't tell if our translation is correct (or sounds natural) or not. I'd like to invite you to take a look: https://www.1001tvs.com/th/

In return, I'd be happy to giveaway some free subscriptions of our app. Please leave a comment or message me if interested!

ขอบคุณครับ

I'm trying to learn a little bit thai by myself. How is this อ็ spelled ? E.g.ก็ . I know it's not a salaa and not a vowel.
