Have you ever been in a situation when you overheard two Thai people talking, and then all of a sudden you became irritated because they used a hilarious English word? You are not the only one. In our capacity as foreigners in Thailand, we consistently engage in this behaviour, which can be embarrassing at times. In addition, it is possible that you are totally oblivious to the fact that such foul-smelling English words have a fairly innocent connotation in Thai translation. We have compiled a list of a few Thai words that are considered to be quite offensive in English.
Fuk! Fuktong! Fukmeaw! Fukmee!!!
I do not doubt that you just laughed out loud after reading that, but the word “fuk” is the most common in Thai. Every variety of gourd or squash is referred to as fuk in Thai. Tong is a word for pumpkin, and meaw is a word for chayote. Although Fukmee is the best one, the Thai word for it just means something along the lines of “having enough gourd.”
Lots of Porn
Thai people usually have long names but they make it short and say to foreigners only because it’s very hard to pronounce. It is good that they hide their real names coz some of them will have the word “porn” in them. Hilariously porn in Thai means blessing or a wish. So to speak, haiporn means monk and the blessing you ask from them is called as korporn. There are many other words which have pornPornpiss – Piss is pronounced pid but they usually spell it as Piss and it means full of blessings.Tossaporn – means men blessingsPornthip- means splendid blessing
Tits Everywhere
Although you might see a lot of tits around Pattaya but in Thai, tits literary means directions. There are other meanings also like Atit means Sun and wanatit means Sunday
Beautiful Thong
The term “thong” refers to a colourful metal that is typically referred to as gold. The meaning of this word is expanded by combining it with other words from the Thai language. In Thailand, one can hear phrases such as “o-gart-thong,” which means “Golden Opportunity,” “seingthong,” which means “golden voice,” and “wai thong,” which means “menopause” or “moody woman.”
Other casual Words
Choke dee – means Lucky
Bang on – means Pretty Lady. So next time before you bang on say Bang on.
55555- means hahaha ok – means like saying “knock”
