I don't pretend to be a specialist, but for me the question of the OP is too general and the answer of kennyro is incomplet

for instance ( I don't like to write in phonetics but I do it because you ask in phonetics ), "for " can also be " samrap ( for you, samrap koon ), "and " can also be " kap " for instance " noi kap lek" ( Noi and Lek ), " rao " is also " pouak rao " etc

good idea to look at thai-language.com, because there are many examples depending of the context

[Briggsy]

I agree with Aforek.

e.g. "I'll take" perhaps refers to agreeing to buy something in a shop. e.g. "I'll take 200g of pork" in which case ao would be used.

Or possibly "I'll take you to the airport" which would be phom song.......

And in addition, only the first two are conjunctions, sentence-joining words.

The OP should invest in the Rough Guide Phrasebook.

[kennyro]

I agree. I take the easy way out - hopefully to encourage Bookie to do his own research. If communicating in Thai was as easy as learning a few joining words we would all be experts.

[Plotholes]

As mentioned by others, different words are used in different contexts, so OP have to be careful on the usage.

A useful channel on youtube is

She deals with some of the listed words in certain videos.

Two sentences,

ผมจะเรียกแท็กซี่ส่งคุณไปสนามบิน

ผมจะขับรถพาคุณไปสนามบิน

There is a difference

First, I will call a taxi to send you/take you to the airport.

Second I will drive the car and take/acomnpany you to the airport.

The first doesnt mean I will take you, but will send you, as in I wont accompany you.

The second means, I will accompany you, I will go with you, ด้วยกัน

I was taught ส่ง was for items, such as ส่งจดหมาย or ส่งอีเมล

Waiting for the experts, as with everyday soi Thai, usage can vary.

[kennyro]

Yes, I find kru wee videos very helpful

In my example, the subject of the verb ส่ง is ผม

In your example the subject of the verb ส่ง is แท็กซี่

In your second example, the verb พา can be replaced with ส่ง in Thai.

So, your ส่ง example is completely different therefore from mine. And also both ส่ง examples retain a subject - verb word order which is the same as English.

So, unfortunately I don't get what it is you are trying to point out. If you are trying to say that ส่ง in Thai means the person doesn't accompany the person going to the airport, then I must respectfully point out you are under a misapprehension.

ผมต้องส่งเพื่อนที่บ้าน = I have to take my friend home NOT I have to send my friend home..

Briggsy, from the definition of ส่ง, it is making something go to a target. Send in the sense that you can send something across a river, past a point, but you have to be there to do it. You can not ส่ง a person to their house in the way that you seem to be able to do in English. The reason for ส่งเพื่อนที่บ้าน is that when he enters the house that is the time when you send him, "send friend at his house" it's not physical he walks in, you have to be at the house to do that, so you have taken him home.

พาเพื่อนไปบ้าน นำเพื่อนไปบ้าน are similar could be translated as 'take'

That's exactly what I said!

[tgeezer]

I wasn't sure how much you have studied it. There are people who learn 'phrase book style' and just learn that this is what Thais say, sometimes saying that when Thais say 'send' they actually mean 'take'!
