Thai Language

The official and native language of Thailand is Thai or Siamese. It’s a tonal language in which different tones and pitches can imply different meanings, and that’s why most learners find this language difficult. The grammar of the Thai language might be considered simpler than grammar in Western languages, and for many students, this makes up for the additional difficulty of the tones. Most significantly, words are not modified or conjugated for tense, person, possession, number (singular/plural), or subject-verb agreement. Determiners such as “a”, “”an,” or “the” are not used.

 

The benefits of speaking Thai

Each year over 12 million people travel to Thailand and a large number relocate or spend an extended amount of time there.

Tourists can easily get by speaking no Thai if they stick to the main tourist areas. If you can’t speak the Thai language, even a simple task can become a real problem. How are you going to order food at the local restaurant? What about if your car or bike breaks down?

As a tourist ,who wants to spend a short time in Thailand , knowing a little Thai will give you the chance to have a richer holiday and gain a fuller cultural experience and If you plan to stay for a longer time, your ability to speak Thai will affect all aspects of your life. It will allow you to build more friendships. It will also help you a lot with all those simple day to day tasks like ordering food, going shopping. Knowing Thai will allow you to start a more successful business than any non-Thai speaker and can make it much easier for you to land a high paying expat job. Furthermore, it will allow you to successfully integrate into society and have a happier life. Overall you can improve the quality of your life in Thailand if you learn to speak Thai.
