Does anyone know how to write `what goes around comes around' in Thai?

Tham dii, dai dii

Tham chua, dai chua

Do good, receive good

Do evil, receive evil

Not a perfect match perhaps, but works in a few cases and is idiomatic and easy.

I know this topic has been discussed, it is probably buried somewhere in the Thai sayings thread pinned at the top of the Thai language forum main page.

This same question was dealt with in part in a previous ThaiVisa discussion, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?sh...9928&st=375

The figurative and almost literal Thai equivalent is กงเกวียนกำเกวียน [gong gwian gam gwian]

The prior post said (edited):

". . . the correct phrase for this idiom is กงเกวียนกำเกวียน

กงเกวียน - wheel of a cart.

กำเกวียน - wheel-spoke.

กงเกวียนกำเกวียน - a simile indicating the inevitability of cause and effect which equivalent to ' vicious circle' in English."

Edward B opined that a better English equivant is "what goes around, comes around."
