First of all, I apologize for the background noise caused by the heavy wind. I filmed this video with my phone so the frame is very small, and I tried to reduce the background noise, but it didn’t work! 🙁 I hope you can hear my voice well enough.
I spent my long weekend at the beach in Pranburi. You can read more information about this lovely and peaceful beach village here.
Here is the script of my video:

Dear Mod,
This video is down for some reason.
Are you familiar with it?
Thanks!
Can’t hear what you said in the video but your script helps clarify. 😉 thanks for the lesson.
Nice try but the wind was too strong so your voice was not clear on the video.
nice setting and good script to learn new words. the but have to really listen to hear with the background noise. otherwise a very good effort. … I did learn some new works and how to use them. Thanks Khun Mod and the team.
Hello Mod,
Since a few weeks I try to learn thai.
I saw you used for the word beach ‘ ta-lay ”
and for a car the word “rot maa. ”
I learned for beach ” tjai haad ” and for car ” rot jon ”
Can you explane? Thank you.
Adje.
Sawatdee ka Adje,
Literally, the word ‘the beach’ in Thai are 1. ชายหาด /chaai-hàad/ or in short หาด /hàad/
The word ทะเล /tá-lay/ actually means ‘the sea’.
When Thai people talk about ‘the beach’ in general, not being specific which beach it is, we commonly use the word “ทะเล /tá-lay/”. For example, มดชอบไปเที่ยวทะเล /Mod chôrp bpai tîao tá-lay/ I like to go to the beach.
But when we are talking about the specific beach, we will use the word หาด/hàad/. For example; มดชอบหาดกะรนที่ภูเก็ต /Mod chôrp hàad Karon tîi Phuket/ I like Karon beach in Phuket.
As for the word ‘car’ in Thai, the full term is รถยนต์ /rót yon/, Thai people like to say just the word รถ/rót/.
I am not sure about “rot maa”. Could you give me the context or where you got this word from? kop kun ka.
I think he or she wanna say “rot mae”. It means a bus.
I catched.Thank you (merci) Mod.
