This video clip has gone viral among Thai social media users. It is about a foriegn guy got cursed the first time by a Thai. In the video, he told us almost ten swear words in Thai. Below are words spoken in the clip;
Do you know ควย /kuoy/ ?
ควย /kuoay/ means ‘dick’
He said he knew many curse words such as:
ไอสัตว์ / i sàt/ animal
ไอเหี้ย /i hîa/ monitor lizard (Yep! “monitor lizard” in Thai is considered a very bad word)
*Note: ไอ /i/ or ไอ้ /î/ is a rude title used to put before a name you call someone.
พ่อมึงตาย /pâw mueng dtaai/ your father dies
แม่มึงสิ /mâe mueng sì/ it’s your mother
(This is a common way to respond when someone curses at you that ‘your father died’. You say ‘it’s your mother! (not my father) )
อีกะหรี่ /e gà-rìi/ hore
ไอหน้าหี /i nâa hǐi/ vagina face
His favorite word is “เย็ด /yét/ (to fuck)” because he thinks it is a convenient word, you can put anything behind it.
These are his example;
เย็ดแม่ /yét mâe/ fuck mom
เย็ดเป็ด /yét bpèt/ fuck duck
เย็ดเข้ /yét kây/ fuck alligator
เย็ดเหี้ย /yét hîa/ fuck monitor lizard
เย็ดครก /yét krók/ fuck mortar

Sawatdee ka Ivan, thank you for your message. No, it is not deliberate. I am not sure why they require a login, it shouldn’t be like that. Let me have a look.

อีกะหรี่ /e gà-rìi/ hore
hore should be spelled whore (a person who does sex work or prostitution).
I understand there are several words for a person who does sex work.
Daniel says
5555, I imagine the scene of the girl saying naa/daak ling and can´t stop laughing. Thank you for all your interesting posts.
Nigel says
Some ladies(not so nice) will say Nah Ling which means monkey face but say it quickly so the foreigner thinks they mean Darling.
Ralf says
I like that you are including some “bad” words on your website as well, Mod! I rarely use them, but it doesn’t hurt to know them. A Thai lady friend of mine once asked me to comment on her new hair cut and asked me “na-rak mai?” You should have seen her reaction when instead of “na-rak” I answered “na-yet maak!”
There is a great book called “Outrageous Thai” by T.F. Rhoden, which is loaded with profanity and things they don’t typically teach you at language schools.
Mod says
Thank you for reading my post. I am happy you enjoyed it. 🙂
jason says
555. I think it means ass monkey 555. Thais understand when I have used it. Is this correct ? thanks for a humourous post.
Mod says
I understand ลิง /ling/ (monkey), but I was thinking so hard about the word “ดาก daak”. Now I know what it is! I asked my Isan friend, she told me that ดาก /dàak/ is Isan dialect meaning ‘ass’. Thank you for introducing me a new word. 🙂
jason says
I think he was cursed in the first year but he did,nt understand enough Thai. My favourite is Daak Ling.
Mod says
That could be true. 555 Anyway, what is “Daak Ling”? I am sorry I am note sure what it is.

Hey Kruu Mod ,
ดากลิง or Dark ling is what jason has been hearing .I have herd it many times before in Thailand
Mod says
Sawatdee ka kun Cam, could it be ดาร์ลิง (Darling) that you have heard?
Reena says
ดากลิง – the joke it’s that it sounds like the English word “Darling”.
So when a bargirl sweetly calls her customer “Darling”, she is really saying ดากลิง.
Jon says
What exactly is ดากลิง? What does it mean or imply?
Mod says
ดาก is “butt” and ลิง is “monkey”, so it means “monkey’s butt”. I don’t understand either why people in Isan use this word to scold at someone.
