How do you say "Hello" and "Thank you" in Thai?
hello male- sa wa dee khrap (roll your r) hello female- sa wa de ka thank you male- kap coon khrap (roll your r) thank you female- kap coon ka I think spelling this way is easiest as Thai does not have roman translation. Most Thai people do not pronounce their r's or their t's
How do you say "Hello" in Thai?
Sa-wat-dee kraup (male speaker) Sa-wat-dee Kah (female speaker) Note: Sawatdee is the greeting. Kraup (male) and Kah(female) are polite endings. You want to include them especially in any formal settings. It like when we add 'please' to a question, except they add them to questions and statements. As the poster mentioned, Sabai dee mai means how are you. However, Thai speakers don't ask this question unless they're familiar with the person. Otherwise it's considered an odd question. If you do know someone and want to ask, again add the polite ending. Sabai-dee mai Kraup? Thank you is - Kop Khun Kraup (or Kah for a woman). P.S. Good idea learning the greeting in Thai. They really appreciate it when we make that effort. Especially considering so many of them spend so much time learning our language.
How do you say "hello" in Thai? What are some other useful words and phrases?
Usually we use the word ‘Sawasdee’ which means hello. But to be polite or formal, if you are a man then say ‘Sawasdee krub’ which is the ending for male or ‘Sawasdee ka’ for female.Some other useful phrases:Kob Khun krub/ka (Thank you)Sabai dee mai krub/ka? (How are you doing?)Gin khao ru yang krub/ka? (Have you eaten?)Aroi mak (very delicious)Phed mak (very spicy)Chob phed phed (like spicy, use this at your own risk)Hong nahm you nai krub/ka? (where is the restroom)… Pai tang nai krub/ka? (which way … to ask for direction … BTS pai tang nai = which way is the BTS?)Pai nai ma krub/ka? (Where did you go or where have you been? Bear with me here, this might seem intrusive but it’s just a funny way Thais inquire about one another without really looking for in-depth answer. But do use this after you have established a kind of rapport with the person already)Laew pob kan krub/ka? (See you around)Chok dee krub/ka (good luck) (Thai language doesn’t have the ‘have a great day’ phrase but this is the closest thing to say)Hope these help :)
What are the Thai words for "I love you"?
Pom Rak Khun (for males to females) - which literally translates as “I Love You”. Though in Thai you can also say “Rak Khun” and drop the pronoun as this is quite common in Thai language. Thai language is contextual, which tends to make Thai people pretty good at “getting the gist” of stuff.If you’re really close to that person you can also say “Rak Teu” (sounds like tur) which is a more informal way of saying I love you.

Would you travel to Thailand for Medical/Dental Tourism - if a DR/DDS Facility was personally recommended?
As an old,"Broad" a recommendation sets me off in a direction, but it's not always the route I may take to my destination. I write about the Wellness Vacations I've experienced MYSELF, and make recommendations accordingly. Thailand is rated #1 in Medical Tourism, so that brings competition. A bad haircut grows out, bad dental work can make you sick. I've posted an article on my site, www.medicaltourismlite.com about, "How Dentists Rip You Off". Personally, I', a big fan of a wonderful Dentist in Bangkok,she's part of a group of 40 dentists at Yanhee International Hospitial, which is also part of the SS System in Thailand. No, just like us, Thai's don't get free dental either, but the work here is a component of the hospital's, American JCI Standards. It's a one stop shop for dental, as well as physicals, dermatogists, and cosmetic surgeons. Why would you chance it, by doing your own online research, or travel all over a city or town that is unfamiliar?

Is it a bit offensive to speak English to Thai people while in Thailand?
No, if you do not know Thai, speaking English is perfectly understandable.IF you are Thai, can speak Thai, but CHOOSE to speak English to a Thai who OBVIOUSLY does not speak English, this is rude, and is considered rude no matter where you go.A THAI PERSON WILL BE JUDGED MORE SO THAN ANY FOREIGNERIF you speak the language speak it, don't assume, you can ask.Foreign educated Thais sometimes INTENTIONALLY speak English, because it is the language of the elites in Bangkok, speaking English in a Thai circle thus has socio-economical implications. You might be praised to your face for your English skills, but behind your back, you can be sure to be perceived as a snob.Thais who don't speak English well, but want to be seen as "upper class" will mix Thai and English to a nauseating degree, and is a mark of ridicule amongst Thais who don't speak English, and Thais who are bilingual. SO DON'T DO IT, just stick to a language. There are certain terms that adopt English words, but things like "station" "restaurant" "food" names of countries have Thai equivalents that are GENERIC TERMS, there is no need to use the English phrases for them.Some obnoxious wannabes may say something like "ฉัน want จะไป Dinner ที่ร้าน riverfront เพื่อฟัง Jazz Music จัง"....which is like an English person saying "Excusez-moi, comment do you "appeller" the word "food" en francais"I find it funny how some Thai people "studying abroad" for the "long time" (like 4 months, come back and say things like "I don't remember how to say this in Thai" BULLSHIT, or develop a fake British accent after 2 months in the UK BULLSHIT.
