Introduction Whether you’re travelling in Thailand as part of an adventure through SE Asia, or planning on settling in the Kingdom as an expat, naturally you’ll be interested in learning to speak some Thai. 199 Everyday Thai Phrases will not only help you communicate more effectively, but also help you establish friendships with Thai people. Thailand has a low percentage of English speakers, particularly in rural areas, where communication in English will be near on impossible, particularly if you want to ask specific questions relating to things like directions and food. In the tourist areas of Bangkok, and on islands such as Koh Samui and Phuket, you will find that many Thais have a basic command of the common English words used for customer service purposes. You will, however, often struggle to make yourself understood, and of course there will be times when you want to take the conversation beyond “hello”, “how much”, and “thank you”. 4
