VIDEO: Taking SkyTrain

Sunday September 22, 2013 by Mod 16 Comments

I live in Bangkok and use Skytrain all the time. Many times tourists approached me to ask questions about the station they wan to go to or the right exit they have to take. Even myself I have to ask these questions when I go somewhere I am not familiar with.

So let’s learn to ask these questions in Thai, shall we? 🙂

 

ถ้าจะไปซอยสุขุมวิท 24 ต้องลงสถานีไหนคะ

tâa jà bpai soi Sukhumvit 24, dtông long sà-tăa-nii năi ká?

If I want to go to Soi Sukhumvit 24, which station do I have to get off?

Sentence Structure:

Question structure in Thai language, the question word is often put at the end.

EN Structure: Which station do I get off?

TH Structure: I get off station which?

VOCAB:

ไป /bpai/ = to go

ลง  /long/ = to get off a vehicle

สถานี /sà-tăa-nii/ = station

ไหน /năi/ = Which?

 

You can apply the same pattern when taking the Chaopraya River boat.

For example you take the boat to to the Grand Palace (in Thai it is called วัดพระแก้ว Wat Phra Kaew), and you don’t know which pier you have to get off, you could ask this question;

จะไปวัดพระแก้ว ลงท่าไหน

jà bpai wát prá-gâew, long tâa năi?

I’m going to the Grand Palace, Which pier do I get off?

EN Structure: Which pier do I get off?

TH Structure: I get off pier which?

VOCAB:

ไป /bpai/ = to go

ลง  /long/ = to get off a vehicle

ท่า /tâa/ = pier

ไหน /năi/ = Which?

 

ออกทางออกไหน

àwk  taang-àwk năi?

Which exit do I leave? 

EN Structure: Which exit do I leave?

TH Structure: I leave exit which?

 

ออกทางออกสาม

àwk  taang-àwk săam

leave exit three.

VOCAB:

ออก /àwk/  to leave, to go out, to exit

ทางออก /taang-àwk/ way out, exit

 

Bangkok BTS Map (Bangkok SkyTrain Map)

The BTS Skytrain runs through all important downtown disctricts and major transport hubs in Bangkok, from Mo Chit to On Nut (Sukhumvit Line) and National Stadium to Bang Wa (Silom Line). With connecting points to the MRT Underground, Chao Phraya Express Boats and two land transport terminals at Victory Monument and Mo Chit, it is the best way to get around.

    sawadee kap!

    i’m a filipino struggling to really learn thai. i am just so amazed by your culture. i have many thai friends & all my room mates before were thais. they used to bring me to all places thai like markets, restaurants & even bars & discos. i haven’t been to thailand but i stepped on your big airport in bangkok on my way to egypt in 2009. only 5 hours though but that was so magical. i wish to come & visit thailand in the near future & totally immerse myself in the culture & the thai way of life.

    this site is heaven sent for me. i just happen to stumble on it while online. keep up the very good work.

    Thank you so much.

    Have been in Phuket for 24 years but still struggling because I am 83! Never too old to teach an old dog new tricks but it goes much slower.

    Taught English and German at Phuket Rajabhat University for 22 years. Love the students. Love Thailand. Will be in Phuket again on November 4..

    My friend is from Nong Kai.
