rose33 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 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 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here in Buriram, to me it sounds like "La Dee Sawat" when MiL says it to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree. "L" and "R" seem to be randomly interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPMMUU Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
