I’m new to this language (very, very, …. very new), so if any mistakes are found, kindly correct me.
I never wanted to learn Thai in particular because most of them have subtitles, but there is one reality show called “School Rangers” in which they don’t have subtitles at all, and I don’t know whether in future it will have or not. So, I thought when I’m trying to learn Korean for EXO, and Japanese for anime, why not Thai for Tay, New, FourthGemini, and OffGun?
So, I’m making up a guide to help the newbies and me. Below are the words most used (I guess so) in Thai dramas or reality shows.
