The Language of Love in Thai

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 01:47 PM

Not everyone come to Thailand for it's pristine beaches and ancient temples! There are a few farangs that are here to date Thai ladies, but most Thai girls lack the skills to communicate in English.

So lets go through some phrases you might use when courting a girl.

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 01:51 PM

You may want to find a girl that is single. There are a few things to keep in mind on that subject - 1) you may get hurt if you date a girl that has a Thai husband AND 2) the girl may tell you she is single when she is in fact not AND 3) both 1 and 2 may be true!

So here is how you ask a Thai girl if she has a boyfriend or husband -

Do you have a boyfriend? Khun mii fan mai krahp?

Do you have a husband? Khun mii samee mai krahp?

Possible answers -

Yes I do. Mii leeo

Not yet - yang mai mii

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 01:53 PM

Now if you want to find out if she is free tonight -

Kun-nee wang mai krahp?

tomorrow -

Prung nii wang maikrahp?

Make sure you don't pull a Gentlemans Camp and follow up with....

Come to my room please................... Chern ti hong noi

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 02:02 PM

I have never dated a Thai girl..........Pom mai kee mii nat gap puuying tai

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 02:04 PM

Fellas feel free to correct me if I am amiss as I really can't have Mrs. Chi helping with these translations and also putting the Thai script in the post. I mean,

I guess I could, but do I really want to put myself in that position?

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 02:07 PM

Can I hold your hand?.......... Kee jap muu ni dai mai?

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 02:10 PM

I want to hug you...............Yaak got khun

I want to be with you tonight...Kunnii yuu gap pom na

I will dream of you tonight......Kuunni ja fan tung khun

**chitown** · 20-11-2010, 02:13 PM

I love you....Pom rak khun

I really love you Rak khun jing jing

I love you with all my heart.....Rak khun mot hua jai

aow yet mai ?

**Thormaturge** · 20-11-2010, 07:05 PM

If you are telling someone you love them then probably the less formal "rak teur" although this wouldn't apply where a financial transaction is involved.

" I miss you " .... " Kid Teung"

**Thormaturge** · 20-11-2010, 07:06 PM

What's the Thai for "I want my money back"?

**pescator** · 20-11-2010, 07:14 PM

i'm all for foreigners improving their thai language skills, but let me see if I've got this straight...

this hypothetical woman doesn't speak english, and the hypothetical farang's thai language skills are so limited that he would needs to memorize these rudimentary phrases.....but somehow they'e reached the point where he "loves" this woman.....no, really loves this woman....with all his heart.

sounds like the solid foundation of a strong relationship that will last years and years.
