Which Thai words are from your point of view associated with the Thai culture, their people and lifestyle? How are they reflected in the Thai language? E.g. Eskimos have many words for „snow“ as it is important for life. The expression „inshaallah“ describes the Islamic attitude toward life.

Money, Money, Money and oh yeah, Mo' Money, theses are the Thai words everyone knows and respect...

Our cat's called Manee, Thai for "come here", but my Thai SO explicitly stated it was also a pun on the English word "money".

There are the 3 S

วัฒนธรรมไทย in Wikipedia has an article describing Thai culture in both Thai and English.

Nitnoi satang, apparently nitnoi is OK, but mai mee is verboten.

Most likely there are many words for rice, as I know from Indonesia and Japan. But kao can also be used for white and 9.
