Thai Love Phrases Transcript
The Thai language has 5 tones, but for those who can't read the Thai alphabet, I have provided some instructions as to when to go up and down in tone for certain words.
Use these notes along with the Thai speaker in the video to work on your tones.
Remember, each of these phrases and questions should have the male/female pleasantry attached to the end. If you're a man say “Khrup” (often sounds like “Kup”) and if you're a lady say “Ka” (sounds somewhat like “Kaar” at the end of each sentence.
Note: if you are copying and pasting the Thai script to share with a romantic interest, make sure you edit the “khrup” and “ka” accordingly at the end before you send it to your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Also note that the transliterations (the Thai words converted to English alphabet) may differ from other text you have read. This is common and you will see different versions from time to time. I use spellings which I think make the most sense to an English-speaking reader.

Cor ber tho-ra-sap kong khun dai mai khrup/ka?
ขอเบอร์โทรศัพท์ของคุณได้ไหม – ครับ/คะ
– “Cor” (please) goes down in tone. The “ra” in “tho-ra-sap” (telephone) goes up in tone and the “sap” goes down in tone. “Dai” (can) goes up in tone and “mai” goes down in tone).
2. Can I call you?
Phom thor haa khun dai mai khrap/ka?
ผม/ดิฉันโทรหาคุณได้ไหม – ครับ/คะ
