How does that translate exactly?

The phrase "ออกไปเที่ยวกลางคืนที่ยิ่งใหญ่" (àwk bpai thîeow klang kün thîi yîng yài) translates exactly to:

• ออกไป (àwk bpai) – "Go out"

• เที่ยว (thîeow) – "Travel" or "go out" (used in the context of socializing or going out for fun)

• กลางคืน (klang kün) – "Night"

• ที่ (thîi) – "That" or "which"

• ยิ่งใหญ่ (yîng yài) – "Grand" or "magnificent"

So, the phrase "ออกไปเที่ยวกลางคืนที่ยิ่งใหญ่" literally translates to "Go out travel night that grand", which in context means "Go for a grand night out" or "Go out for a magnificent night."

On the other hand, "เที่ยวให้สุดเหวี่ยง" (thîeow hâi sùt wìang) more closely translates to "party to the fullest" or "go wild," with the breakdown being:

• เที่ยว (thîeow) – "Go out"

• ให้ (hâi) – "Give" or "to" (used here in the sense of "to make happen")

• สุดเหวี่ยง (sùt wìang) – "To the extreme" or "wild" (literally "end swing," implying going to the fullest or without restraint)

This phrase conveys the idea of partying with a lot of freedom, having a carefree, fun time—similar to the English idiom "paint the town red."
