Hi

Thanks for help earlier.

How do you say "Ready!" In Thai? If I get on the back of a motorbike taxi and want to tell the driver I am ready to go, what should I say?

I think I could say

ไป กัน เหอะ

"Let's go!"

But if I want to say something like "I'm ready." What should I say?

Thanks

พร้อม everything arranged/prepared and complete. Preparations are done, พร้อมแล้ว as รัานพร้อมแล้ว shop is ready. พร้อมไหม are you ready?

Thanks guys, I definitely appreciate.

I think I'll try ไป ได้ on the back of a motorbike and พร้อม แล้ว if someone calls me and asks if I am ready for something.

ah well perhaps its a different way, certainly a lot of ways to say the same thing in Thailand

If you don't know him personally don't use ไปกันเหอะ I would say ผมพร้อมแล้วครับ, ไปได้, ไปได้แล้ว if you guys are very close you can say ปะ, ปา

it really is เสร็จหรือยัง as far as common expressions go

finish or not which is what "ready!?" means deep down (its a way not to say are you <deleted> finished)

correct...ไปกันเถอะ could definitely sound too abrupt/familiar if you're not close (or at least much older than the driver, and a very good speaker of Thai)...I think a simple ไปได้คับ is safest.
