It is the only word I know in Issan and the most important one in the bars. Shut up!

Amazing how the girls leave you alone after you say this....... With a smile ????

What is the Thai equivalent?

 

เงียบๆ  ngiiap with falling tone. Say it twice to create more emphasis. I'm sure there are other ways to say it as well, some more polite than others.

In Lao ເຊົາເວົ້າ (saow wow) is stop speaking or หยุดพูด in Thai. เซ้าเว่า (saow wow) is my transliteration from Lao to Thai and it might not be perfect.
In Lao ຫຸບປາກ (หุบปาก) is shut up and is also used in Isaan.
หุบปาก is stronger than เซ้าเว่า but I don’t plan to test that theory.
