What is the meaning of "Rrrhod rhree sawat"?


Recommended Posts

The final part sounds similar to the 'sawat' is sawatdee ka/krup. 

 

Elsewhere, I heard that 'sawatdee' means 'i am giving a little piece of happiness to you'. Can this be confirmed?

 

Thanks all ????

Goodnight is what I would guess..

Up here in Buriram, to me it sounds like "La Dee Sawat" when MiL says it to me.

My favourite massage place is called 'Ratree Massage'. Now I know what it means ;-)

Up in Buriram (near Phanom Rung) they actually have a road sign that reds "Rahansai"...................L's and R's are not their strong suit.

I also like the 'Rabyrinth' sign for the hedge maze at one of the big parks in Thailand's second city... 

 

(Although when I think how much I struggle with all of their tones and vowels, I don't want to be too critical if my Rs and Ls sound similar to their ears...)

Yes, I agree. "L" and "R" seem to be randomly interchangeable.

It is likely that the owner of your favorite massage place, "Ratree Massage," is named Ratree, as this is a common practice among businesses to name themselves after their owner.

 

Although traditionally, the Thai letters ร and ล are not interchangeable, there seems to be an unofficial trend of using them interchangeably nowadays.
