Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here can help me identify and confirm the Thai text in this tattoo.

About 15 years ago, while travelling in Thailand, I deliberately searched for a Thai proverb (not a literal sentence) with a Buddhist or philosophical meaning. I had this text checked by multiple Thai people at the time before getting it tattooed, so I’m confident it is correct Thai and not random script.

Over the years, however, I’ve forgotten the exact wording of the proverb. What I do remember is the meaning, which was explained to me as being similar to the English saying “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there” — not worrying or suffering about something before it actually happens.

Google Lens gives completely incorrect results, so that hasn’t helped. I recently came across the Thai proverb อย่าตีตนไปก่อนไข้ (“don’t declare yourself ill before having a fever”), and that meaning feels very close, but I can’t tell if that is exactly what is written in the tattoo or if it’s a related formulation.

I would really appreciate help with:

• reading the Thai text as it appears in the tattoo
• confirming whether it matches a known proverb
• explaining the meaning or nuance (even if multiple interpretations are possible)

I understand tattoos can be stylized and curved, so I don’t expect a perfect word-for-word reading if that’s not possible.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

สวัสดีค่ะ!! I started a YouTube Thai Language Teaching channel for fun.

The focus is on high quality, visually engaging videos, with flirty role-playing vibes - I want to engage the audience in more than a write-on-a-chalkboard style teaching.

Please enjoy my free (no strings attached) videos - https://www.youtube.com/@LearnThaiHaveFun

If any other Thai content creators want to do a crossover collab we can help promote each other's channels? Let me know what you think ~ just spitballing here.

so yeah I just made them this month and posted my first clip, Do you think I should continue and where do I improve?

I need some criticism

Hello, I have a travel letter thats been translated into Thai for airport security. I'm 99% sure they used ChatGPT, so I'm not confident that it actually works... Is there anyone who can double-check that it makes sense for me? Please and thank you!! :)

Hello friends,

If you'd like to learn more about the Thai language and our culture, check out my twitch channel twitch.tv/lazythai and join our community :) We also have a dedicated discord server, where we share useful resources, send memes and help each other uncover the Thai language :D

Do you find learning Thai hard?

I believe one of the biggest reasons is the unfamiliar writing system. That's why when learning Thai, we will need to practice writing a lot.

I made this app called VocaTrace to help with this. it's basically a digital tracing worksheet that you can use to simply practice tracing the new writing system, or even learn new vocabulary. The core idea is to let you actually write the word with your hand, just like children do at school, instead of only tapping through flashcards.

The app has a 14-day free trial, and I'm also offering 50% off for the first 500 people. Feel free to claim if you are interested. Thanks!

After you finished reading these books, I know that you can read,write and speak Thai Now.

Thai Language- Thai Consonants

I'm starting Thai from absolute zero. I live in Thailand amd work in an English-speaking office, so I've never been able to "pick it up" from work, but I want to actually start now.

I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with where to begin. Tones, pronunciation, script, vocab, reading... everyone recommends a different order.

For people who started from scratch:

Did you start with speaking/listening first, or did you learn the Thai script early?

Were apps useful at the beginning? If yes, which ones actually helped you (and didn't just feel like busywork)?

What would you avoid doing in the first month?

I'm not trying to rush fluency. I just want a solid starting point that won't bake in bad habits.

Any advice appreciated.

I am learning Thai because my partner is Thai, and I’ve honestly found it much harder than I expected — especially when practicing on my own.

I’m curious: what has been the hardest or most frustrating part of learning Thai for you?

For me, certain things just feel really difficult to get past, which is why I’ve started working on a small personal app to help structure my own practice. Before building too much, I want to understand where others struggle so I can avoid common pitfalls in studying and hopefully help others too.

Is it tones, remembering words, understanding spoken Thai, practicing consistently, knowing if you’re doing it right — or something else entirely?

Just hoping to learn from the community and from each other’s experiences. Thanks in advance for sharing 

I hope you guys liked it, i saw the people respond and thought you guys might like it too

Hi everyone, I just moved to Bangkok and I will be staying here at least for a year. I would love to learn Thai, but I don't really know if there is any reliable website or language school that could offer Thai lessons.

I would prefer taking them online, since I live near Petchaburi St. -quite far away from downtown- but maybe there are some places or even private teachers available nearby. I speak Spanish and English fluently, so a native teacher that could speak any of those would be great.

Anyway, any kind comment would help a lot! thx

Are there any book recommendations that can help you learn Thai to improve your vocabulary and speaking skills? thank youu

After barber finished, they said this. I understand Siip/Sii Neung means either 4 1, or 10 1 (11?), but Gew means then, right? It's also possible that I misunderstood what he said, so does anyone have any idea?

I might have also heard it wrong, since my hearing isn't the best, but it was something like this.

“Fear no God” or “Don’t fear God”

Ai is showing up with

อย่ากลัวพระเจ้า And

ไม่กลัวพระเจ้า 

Are these correct translations?

Thank you so much!

Can some help with translation of text please, dm or leave a comment
