i've said it somewhere else, but i like พลบ (plop), meaning dusk. i simply like the toilet humour of the way it's pronounced.

all the best.

Mai ao seems to come out of my mouth the most and needs some thought to stop saying meeeow

Conjures up a picture of a rapidly falling sun landing in the ocean with a modest splash, doesn't it?

I must utter Pai thio twenty times a day

[AlexLah]

Maahaawithaalaayai (university)

It just sound nice to me, apart from watching those decent uni student outfits

[gampaan]

I always liked gampaan, who knew? My wife had a dog named that, given to her family by a boxer. Of course it means fist...

strawberry, no doubt about it.

[JetsetBkk]

I often say "ฉลาด " (chà-làat = clever) if my g/f does something, er, clever.

I don't say it that often.

[donx]

My favorite is one I learned from my 4 year old daughter. It is jakara (or something like that) and it means underarm. My daughter enjoys touching my wife's underarm. That's why she uses that word.

[eenloss]

Arai gor dai (whatever) said with an Australian accent, as in G'day mate, fancy a tinny !

พิเศษ - Piss 'ead!

To correct the spelling (a la Elsie)

[Totster]

พิเศบั - Piss 'ead!

That word always reminds me of elsie......

totster

[Neeranam]

buukalikapaap - personality

[khaojao]

ทำไม อะ (taam mai ah?)

"ah" has no other meaning except that it is (sort of) the chinese equivalent of "na"

[skalp]

mai pen rai.....

[sbk]

Thai south word I believe:

lahk tdahn (no idea of the spelling) --its a superlative meaning really or very. ie rohn lahk tdahn--really hot. In a semi-crass but not quite rude sort of way

**edit*** just found out from my husband, this is a word used on the islands; Samui, Phangan and Tao and not in use on the mainland.

พิเศบั - Piss 'ead!

Of course you're talking about the train she gets to Sulin

[elsie]

I'm just going to ignore all the piss taking here.

On slight error, Yorky. The last character is ษ. So, it's " พิเศษ "

And of course, Khun F*t G*t, he's talking about the special train.

I think it's more like "jakareh".....also like jakachee for ticklish

[roietjimmy]

Not a single word but the common phase to describe underarm odor is an odd one!!

[Johpa]

favorite phrase had got to be: "ca kin lao kan mai?"

[garro]

My favorite Thai word is ?????? (an-nid-ja) which means impermanence. It sounds nice and stops me getting upset when things break or plans change
