Simple words
Hi
Can anyone point me to a site that can give me simple Thai words - phonetically speaking. Or if you would like to do it yourself - here is what I think will be enough to get by: Hello Goodbye Please Thankyou One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Fifty Hundred Thousand and last but not least How much :-)

goodbye iin general is sawat dee...same as hello
la-gorn is like a final goodbye...and in 17 years I have never heard a Thai say it. as for how much raka is price thao rai is how much khii baht is another way to say it.... thankyou is khop-khun khrap as for the phonetics...up to you....I can guarantee you'll never pronounce them correctly from what any of us have written here.

Just some info on that one. Lah gorn(leave first) is only used be the person who is leaving! Maybe because the person you say good bye to is always staying, you have never heard it!?  a proper responce from the person staying should be Chok dee (Good Luck). TJ

Khor Tote means Excuse me or I'm sorry. (literally it means may I have punishment). Garuna is the correct word for please although it may be a bit formal. another way is to add "noi khap" or "noi si khap" at the end of a sentence. JayBee

I don't understand what you mean when you say "ir". What is "ir'? What does it sound like? Could you explain that to me? Any help is appreciated! JayBee

 I thought he meant say "Ir Khor Thoot." OK now I see that he meant say Khor at the beginning of the sentence that ends with "noi khap" or "noi si Khap".Thanks for the tip Schmeen!  Thanks for being smarter than me, Ozskin!
