How to Talk About Yourself & Others in Thai

It's strange. Of all the simple “must know” Thai words, I come across so many foreigners learning Thai who don't know how to refer to other people using words like “he, she, they, we, adult, old person, teenager”, that sort of thing.

This is so important when it comes to stringing basic sentences together in everyday conversation. Even as a tourist, these simple references to others are important for explaining who did what in a particular situation. In fact, just knowing the 14 words in this lesson will massively ramp up your ability to speak conversational Thai.

In this video lesson, you'll learn the essential words for referring to yourself and others. I've also given you the transcript below the video so you can practice writing Thai too.

Video Lesson Transcript

1. You – Khun – คุณ

2. Me/I  – Chan (female) – ฉัน / Phom (male) ผม

3. Him/he – Khao phu chai –  เขาผู้ชาย

4. Her/she  – Khao phu ying  เขาผู้หญิง

5. We/us  – Rao – เรา

6. They – Phuak khao – พวกเขา

7. Man – Phu chai  ผู้ชาย

8. Woman – Phu ying – ผู้หญิง

9. Old person – Phu sung ayu –  ผู้สูงอายุ

10. Adult – Phu yai  – ผู้ใหญ่

11. Teenager – Way ruun – วัยรุ่น

12. Child – Dek – เด็ก

13. Baby – Taarok – ทารก

Hi! I’m Peter. I’ve been living & traveling in Thailand for 14 years. I’m here to give you all the information you need to make your Thai adventure safe, happy, & successful.

Recommended Thailand Services

I get a lot of requests for recommendations on services related to living in Thailand. To make things easier for you, I’ve compiled a list of those I use below.

Learning Thai

Thaipod101 is the best way to learn Thai online. It's how I started learning. They have hundreds of video and audio lessons to help you start speaking Thai today. Start free here.

Sending Money

Wise is the cheapest and fastest way to send money to Thailand. I use it and so do many of my readers. Go here to get your first transfer free.

Financial Planning

Whether you need life insurance, pension planning or other investment advice, I can connect you with my personal IFA. Simply fill out this form.

Health Insurance

I recommend getting a quote from Cigna for international Insurance, and then comparing that with local insurance premiums on Mr Prakan.

Travel Services

Hotels: Agoda offers good deals on hotels in Thailand. This is because they are located in the region and secure lots of special promotions. It's also worth trying Booking.com and Hotels.com for comparison.

Travel Insurance: SafetyWing is great for trips to Thailand and elsewhere. I've used them many times. If you're from the UK/Europe you can also try True Traveller.

Over 70? Insure My Trip. has policies for those struggling to find travel insurance cover due to age restrictions.

Bank Account

Need an international bank account that holds multiple currencies and lets you transfer, receive & spend wherever you are, with a MasterCard. I've used one for 4 years. Check out Wise.

Rent / Buy Property

Looking for an apartment to rent or a home to buy? For the largest selection of properties in Thailand, and a completely free service, visit PropertyScout here.

Data Security

To keep your data secure you should use a VPN when using public WIFI and when accessing internet banking and other sensitive information online. I use both Vypr VPN and Nord VPN.
