How to Order Food in Thai

Restaurant Thai made simple

Ordering food is where a little Thai pays off every single day. This short walks through the handful of phrases that carry you through a meal, from getting the staff's attention to choosing a dish and asking for the bill.

You will hear the polite endings kha and khrap doing a lot of work, along with simple words for I want, this one and the check. String a few together and you can handle a whole meal without pointing at pictures.

Restaurants and street stalls are the perfect place to practise, since staff are used to helping. This short Thai reel shows how to order food in Thai so eating out in Phuket becomes part of the fun, not a guessing game.
