i always have trouble with this. i want to take away 1 gapow moo w/ rice and 1 gapow gai w/ rice

gapow moo neung tee, gapow gai neung tee. gap ban krap.

Is there a better or more polite way to say this. The thai person always seems to have a hard time understanding me when I order multiple items.

[raindrops]

That is polite enough and it sounds ok to me. But then again I don't know how you actually said it. You can try saying it slowly and use hand gesture...like 1 and then another 1.

or...you can maybe try

grapow moo neung tee...laew gor....grapow gai eek neung tee, glab bahn krap.

laew gor = and

eek = also (and)

If the confusion is coming in that you want it specifically to take home you might use "glòng" instead of tee. They might also think that you are correcting yourself rather than ordering two dishes. (For a while I had a lady who just couldn't fathom that I wanted two dishes to eat for myself-why would someone eat two?-so she would just assume I mispoke. It got worked out though.) To make it more evident that you do actually want two dishes and aren't just correcting yourself I've added a few words in bold.

kaw gapow moo neung glòng, leow gaw kaw gapow gai eek neung glòng duay. gap ban krap

poot dooai ! tum mai mai poot dooai !? (said in an exasperated tone).

[bangkoksingapore]

why do you say Thaa Phom instead of Thaa Khun?

[meadish_sweetball]

In what situation would you use that? I don't recognize it.

[mangkorn]

Perhaps he is referring to: กระผม (gra-phom)

This is frequently said as a polite form of acknowledging what another person is saying. The word literally means "I, me" (male), but here it is a shortened form of the full, very formal ขอรับกระผม

In common usage, the "r" is often not voiced; it sounds like "ka-phom."

If that is indeed the word you are thinking of, the sense of it refers back to oneself as a way of saying, "I am listening/I am at your service," rather than directly telling the other person to continue speaking; that is why the first-person pronoun is used instead of the second-person pronoun.

In the event that my supposition about the question is wrong, I hope this can still be useful to anyone else who's been wondering what "ka-phom" means. It took me a while to figure it out. And it is a very nice thing to say. Cheers.

EDIT: Now I'm not completely certain - the expression may just be ครับผม - meaning the same thing. Does anybody know the relationship between the two expressions?

I was refering to this

If you do a good job, I will give you a tip.

Thaa phom phor jai, ja hai tip na khrap

Thaa ถ้า means 'If' correct?

So this sentence reads... If I.... Why is it not If khun?

I if I want to say "Next time we will go to Fuji"

Should I use

khrang lang

krang naa

wan naa

wan lang

khraao naa

khraao lang

Would all of these be correct?

khun means 'you'.

what do phor and jai mean?

[meadish_sweetball]

Thaa phom phor jai, ja hai tip na khrap

If I satisfied will give tip [softener particle] [polite particle]

'phor jai' has to be analyzed as one here. The component parts mean 'enough' and 'heart; mind' so literally the whole expression is "enough-mind" - the word equates more or less to 'satisfied'.

That's how the sentence is built.
