Sawaddee ka welcome to hot thai kitchen so this is the second video in my Thai language for traveler
series and today we are gonna go over phrases that are useful when you are in a restaurant
in Thailand now if you missed my first video make sure you check that out first because we
went over some basics some ground rules when it comes to Thai language it will help you actually
in this video so let's get started first thing that happens when you walk into a restaurant is
probably this they're probably gonna ask you how many people in your party and it's gonna sound
like this gee taan ka or gee taan krab gee is how many can is a polite way of referring to people
and ka or krab is our polite suffix and if you don't know what I'm talking about check out my
first video we went over all of that now if you might also hear them say corn cob and corn is
just a different way of saying people so you sit down you look at the menu now you need to
call your server so what do you call them now you could just say car towed car which is I'm sorry or
excuse me we learned that in the previous video or if you want to sound like a local you can say this
Nong Khai or pika so know it's a term that refers to somebody who is younger than you like a sister
or brother and P is somebody who's older than you so this does require you to make a judgement on
whether they're older or younger than you which might make you nervous but don't be nervous no
one's gonna check your ID like ty people have to decide all the time whether we're gonna call them
nhong or p so just say something you call your server successfully now you need to tell them
that you need to order your food so how do you say can I please order my food you would say sang
a han no attack or for Men song a han nightclub sang mean to order a han is food no makes it a
request and cap or cup is our polite suffix so Santa had like you've ordered you've had a few
beers and now it's time to go to the bathroom so where is the bathroom Honam unite Hong Nam
is bathroom U is is nigh is where so bathroom is where cat so how to get your bill now that you're
ready to leave it's actually half English check big night huh check is check like the same word
in English bin is a Thai accent for bill because we don't actually do l at the end of words so they
all gets turned into an N so Ben Nye as we have seen makes it a request kha makes it polite check
be tonight ha or check be tonight crap so it's half English super easy but maybe you're not in
a restaurant you're buying something on the street and you need to ask how much is this how much is
toe right toe right now if you want to specify how much is this one and you're pointing to something
you want to add the word this one which is an e so I need how right huh now maybe you're at
a street vendor and you see a mysterious skewer of something you want to know if it's chicken or
pork or beef and you want to ask what is this say that I'm me Erika or an e or a cup and me is this
one a try is what so this is a useless question if you don't understand the answer that they're gonna
give you so that is precisely the subject of our next video we're gonna go over some food terms and
