When to use it

You can use 'ขอบคุณ' in almost any situation to express gratitude. It is appropriate in both formal and informal settings. Use it when someone does something nice for you, like helping you or giving you a gift.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "Thank you" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Common mistake
Some learners may confuse 'ขอบคุณ' with 'ขอบใจ', which is more casual and not suitable for formal situations.

Vocabulary you only read fades fast. Vocabulary you say out loud sticks. Hear ขอบคุณ, repeat it a few times, then use it in a real sentence. SPAIKING lets you practice exactly that, speaking Thai with a coach that corrects your pronunciation in real time. You can start with two free conversations.
