How to say "Hello / Good morning" in Thai or say "Hi" in Thai

Hello = "Sa Wat Dee" in Thai

Ordinary, Thai people use the word "Sawatdee khrap/kha" [สวัสดี ครับ/ค่ะ], meaning in Thai "Hello" for greeting each other. It is used by Thai people for saying greeting when they meet anyone, anywhere, and anytime.

Sawattdii khrap(สวัสดีครับ) Hello, everyone.

My name is Michael Leng. Today, I'm going to teach you the sentences for say as "Good morning, good afternoon and good evening" in Thai.

If you know some basic Thai words. So, this sentence is not too difficult to learn it will take only a few minutes.

Thais greet each other with a "wai(ไหว้)" while saying the words: "Sawatdee(สวัสดี)"

It means Thai will not only say "Hello" but also do "wai(ไหว้)" as well. For instance, if you go to work, at 8.00 o'clock you meet one of your colleagues, you will say.
"Sawatdee Khrap(สวัสดี ครับ)" and do Wai as well.

What's it? Quiz

Anyway, formally, Thai language has the particular word of greeting to say in the different of timing too. They are as below:

"Arunsawat khrap/kha"

อรุณสวัสดิ์ ครับ/ค่ะ

Good morning.

Alternatively, you can use another word as below instead too.

"Sawatdee tonchao krup/kha”

สวัสดี ตอนเช้า ครับ/ค่ะ

Good morning.

To say “Hello” in the afternoon, Thai people say:

"Sawatdee ton-klang-wan khrap/kha"

สวัสดี ตอนกลางวัน ครับ/ค่ะ

Good afternoon.

What to say in the evening time? To say “Hello” in the evening time in Thai language, use follow state:

"Sawatdee ton-yen khrap/kha”

สวัสดีตอนเย็น ครับ/ค่ะ

Good evening.

*Say "Lakon" = "ลาก่อน (Goodbye) when they are about to leave.

I almost forget to tell one more thing, Thai use the word "Sawatdee = สวัสดี" to say when they are about to leave (Goodbye) too.

Do not worry too much about the three of the greetings above. Just remember and use the only one word that would be fine.

You just say, "Sawatdee = สวัสดี(Hello)", to greet and to say goodbye to Thai people. That would be all right.

"Khrap = ครับ" is no meaning, it is the Thai particle for adding at the end of sentences for anyone who is male to use in term of more polite.

If you are female, you just add the particle "Kha = ค่ะ" instead of at the end of sentences you speak.

Well, time is up again for today's posting. I hope you love our article.

Tip from Michael Leng:

Please don't write "Sawasdee".
This is wrong grammar.
ส วัส ดี, sà-wàt-dee (Sor Suea, is not the first character, so it should be pronunced as a T, not S)

ส วัส ดี, sà-wàt-dee.
Sor Suea is an S, as the first consonant, but a T as a second consonant, like it is after Wor Wan.
Many Thai letters have a different sound, depending on whether the first or second consonant.
