How to Say Last Week and Last Month in Thai

Talking about the recent past

To say something happened in the recent past, Thai adds thii laew (ที่แล้ว), meaning last or gone by, after the time word. So last week, last month, last year and more all follow the same neat pattern.

A couple of set phrases are worth memorising as they are. Last time is khrang thii laew (ครั้งที่แล้ว), and other last minute style expressions work in a similar way. Once you have the pattern, you can slot in the time word you need.

This is exactly the grammar you reach for when you tell a Phuket friend where you went last week or what happened last night. This short Thai reel lists them together so you can hear the pattern and reuse it.
