what does ไปก็ไป mean?

thank you.

Depends on the context, but generally speaking Thai verb anaphora like this, in isolation, have the connotation of "If you're gonna go, then go." Substitute 'we' or other pronoun for 'you' depending on the person(s) being referred to. In most cases X ก็ X phrases like this express a certain indifference on the part of the speaker.

Context #1

จะไปมั้ย Ja Pai Mai? = are you going?

ไปก็ไป Pai Kor Pai = ok, I'll go

Same meaning as "Pai kor dai" ไปก็ได้

Implies hesitation.

Context #2 = like Sabaijai mentioned, but usually it begins with another prefix "Ja" จะ or "Yak" อยาก

จะไปก็ไป, อยากไปก็ไป

Implies being annoyed, sarcastic.

If you're going to go, then go is - ไปก็ไป ไปก็ไปเลย

ไปก็ไป - is used in response to a question of whether you're going somewhere or not and this statement has an indifferent or understated sound to it, as if you don't really care if you go or not

Lots of nuances available for this phrase.

But when she who will not take no for an answer asks or makes a remark about going to the local casino my response is often ไปก็ไป (going..so go) with the implication that I don't want to waste my time on this topic any further as it will be to no avail. :o

agree with all that has been said. However it REALLY does depend on whom you are speaking to and the topic etc.

maipaigordai (if you don't want to go that's ok ....)

araigordai (whatever is fine) etc

These phrases aren't the same.
