How to Say Thank You in Thai


Welcome to your essential guide on expressing gratitude in Thai! Whether you’re planning a vacation in Thailand or just starting your Thai language journey, learning to say “thank you” is one of the most important first steps. Thai people are known for their warm hospitality, and showing appreciation in their language will help you connect with locals and enhance your travel experience.

One unique aspect of Thai language is that men and women use different polite particles when speaking. When saying thank you:

  • Men say “kòorb kun kráb” (ขอบคุณครับ)
  • Women say “kòorb kun kâ” (ขอบคุณค่ะ)

In general, you can add the word มาก (mâag) which means “very much” or “a lot”. This transforms a simple thank you into thank you very much. Both men and women can say ขอบคุณมากครับ/ค่ะ kòorb kun mâag kráb/ kâ) to show greater appreciation.

When someone thanks you in Thai, there are two common polite responses you can use:

  • yin dee kráb/ kâ (ยินดีครับ/ค่ะ) – which means “With pleasure.” or “You’re welcome.” or
  • mâi bpen rai kráb/ kâ (ไม่เป็นไรครับ/ค่ะ) – which means “It’s nothing.” or “No problem”
