    • Since Thai is a tonal languag, you cannot indicate mood, emotion, or politeness by tone as in English. To do this Thai has particles, words that frequently end phrases or sentences. I saw above the recommendation that you say "khorp koon ka" for "thank you." This is only said by a woman. Said by a man it should be "khorb koon khrap." "Ka" is the female politness particle; "khrap" is the male politeness particle.
