Bash

[Deserted]

What is bash or closest equivalent in Thai? Is there such a word other than hit hard? On line dictionaries are of no help.

Depends what thing is bashing.

กระแทก should be close enough

[Mole]

If you mean people bashing, then for verbal bashing, you could use โจมตี while for physical bashing you can use กระทืบ.

[Deserted]

Bashing an object, to hit something hard.

[Mole]

For objects, you can use กระแทก กระทบ or ปะทะ

ปะทะ means 2 objects hitting eachother or collision.

Note that โจมตี and กระทืบ can only be used with people.

While ปะทะ can also mean "versus" for example 2 people or 2 teams facing each other in competition.

If a person bashing an object, ทุบ can be used.

I have heard โจมตี used a lot on news programmes in the sense of attack, assault e.g rebels attacking a police station etc.

Other words to consider might include

ฟาด

ตี

ฟัน

ต่อย

etc.

Thanks, its ทุบ that I was looking for.

Second that ฟาด is fairly commonly used as well.

[Mole]

ฟาด is when you use something to hit something else. Usually there's some kind of swinging motion involved such as using a bat, stick, racket, whip, chain, etc..

ทุบ is usually used when you are hitting something in order to destroy it or break it into pieces. Can be with your own hands or with tools.
