********************************************************************************
GRAMMAR FOCUS!
The excessive construction is
|
ADJECTIVE + เกินไป [gern bpai] |
ร้อนเกินไป /rórn gern bpai/ = It’s too hot
คุณพูดเร็วเกินไป /kun pûut reo gern bpai/ = You speak too fast
ภาษาไทยง่ายเกินไป /paa-săa tai ngâai gern bpai/ = Thai language is too easy
Note: In spoken Thai, the phrase เกินไป /gern bpai/ is shorten to “ไป /bpai/”
For instance;
ร้อนไป /rórn bpai / = too hot
แรงไป /raeng bpai/ = too strong
I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it useful:)

This word “dtawn” can you explain little more what it means and when to use it?
Kindest Uffe
During my last visit to Thailand, I went to Wat Pho for a real Thai massage. It was wonderful and just perfect to relax my neck and shoulder muscles which were all cramped up from the long flight from Europe to Thailand.
The only complaint I had was that the massage was done so very good, that I did not get the chance to use any of the phrases you explained in your video.
It is nice to hear that you had a good massage experience in Thailand. It is an ideal situation when you don’t need to complain about anything. 🙂
I have just discovered your videos and would like to congratulate you. It is just fascinating. I have been learning thai for a few years and your explanations are very useful and precise.
I love that. Thank you very much.
Sawatdee ka Bernard, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. 🙂
สวัสดีครับอาจาร มอด
ผมโชบมากวิดิโคุณให่ทุกคน

Sawatdee ka Jarmo, I am sorry to hear that there is a problem. I am not sure which video you can’t watch, maybe you can go directly to my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/ThaiwithMod
I like the video much! Thank you Mod!
Hi kruu Mod i have a question about the last sentence of mink i’ve only understood phoodii but which are others words thank you wonderfull Mod
I am sorry for my late reply. The lat word Mink said was พอดีแล้ว /por-dii laew/ meaning ‘it is just right’ 🙂
พอดี /por-dii/ also means ‘fit well’.
Thank you Mod , you don’t have to be sorry!!!! See you soon.
Hi I got a qn. For english we would normally start with “I” Or “U”
Can we form a sentence with i instead?
Next qn , how do i pronouce the word Rue. wow it hard to pronouce the word R
สวัสดีครับ
This was a great video. I’ve already used several times today what I learned after watching it. Now instead of saying เกินไป or มากเกินไป a lot I just use ไป for short.
I feel more like a native Thai speaker (well, just a little bit ;D)
ขอบคุณครับ

kruu Mod,
if I have to ask a bus driver to stop at a place, will this work:
‘hyud tii Vipawadi na krap; pom mai-ruu yuu tii nai’
what I was trying to say: stop at Vipawadi please; I don’t know where it is (so, stop when it arrives).
Sawatdii ka,
Yes, that works as well. You can also say “I want to get off at Vipawadii” which sounds more like a Thai.
To get off is ลง long (shot vowel) : pom yaak long tii Vipawadii krap
but I don’t know it : dtae pom mai-ruu jak
Please tell me (when it arrives): chuai bork pom duai na krap.
Choke dii ka:)
hi,
thanks for the quick response; I was in need of it : )
บอกว่า “Swedish” or “Oil Massage” ยังไง ครับ
สวัสดีค่ะคุณจอห์น
Swedish massage เรียกว่า “นวดแบบสวีเดน”
Oil massage เรียกว่า “นวดน้ำมัน” ค่ะ 🙂
Excellent lesson. Very useful vocabulary words. Also, the “captions” are very helpful. Thank you!
Great video Khru Mod krap!
fun and very useful video, Mod ! Thank you as always.
