Contacts & SNS

1. แลก LINE กันได้ไหมครับ / คะ

   Lâek LINE kan dâi mǎi khráp / khá

   Can we exchange LINE?

   Usage

   LINE is the most popular messaging app in Thailand. Exchanging QR codes is the norm

   Grammar Note

   "Kan" marks reciprocal action: "laek kan" (exchange with each other), "chuai kan" (help each other). Social media exchange is very common in Thailand

2. Instagram ของคุณคืออะไรครับ / คะ

   Instagram khǒng khun khue àrai khráp / khá

   What's your Instagram?

   Grammar Note

   "Khong" = possessive marker (of/'s). "Khong khun" = yours. "Instagram khong khun" = your Instagram

3. ขอแอดเฟซบุ๊กได้ไหมครับ / คะ

   Khǒ àet Facebook dâi mǎi khráp / khá

   Can I add you on Facebook?

   Usage

   Facebook remains very popular in Thailand, especially among older users

   Grammar Note

   English verbs are borrowed directly: "aet" (add), "laik" (like), "sher" (share). Thai adapts foreign social media vocabulary easily

4. นี่คือเบอร์ของผม/ฉันครับ / ค่ะ

   Nî khue boe khǒng phǒm / chǎn khráp / khâ

   Here's my number

   Grammar Note

   "Ni khue" = this is. "Nan khue" = that is. "Nun khue" = that over there is. Three-level demonstratives

5. ส่งข้อความมาหาผม/ฉันนะครับ / คะ

   Sòng khôt khwam ma hǎ phǒm / chǎn ná khráp / khá

   Message me

   Grammar Note

   "Ma ha" = come to find (me) = reach out to me. "Tit to ma" is another way to say "contact me". LINE dominates Thai messaging

6. ติดต่อกันต่อไปนะครับ / คะ

   Tìt tò kan tò pai ná khráp / khá

   Let's keep in touch

   Grammar Note

   "To pai" = continuing forward/from now on. "Ti to kan to pai" = let's keep connecting with each other

7. คุณใช้ WhatsApp ไหมครับ / คะ

   Khun chái WhatsApp mǎi khráp / khá

   Are you on WhatsApp?

   Usage

   LINE dominates in Thailand, but many Thais also use WhatsApp for international contacts

   Grammar Note

   "Chai" = use/utilize (versatile verb): "chai ngoen" (spend money), "chai wela" (spend time)

8. ขอช่องทางติดต่อได้ไหมครับ / คะ

   Khǒ chông thang tìt tò dâi mǎi khráp / khá

   Can I have your contact?

   Grammar Note

   "Chong thang" = channel/means (hole + road = pathway). Works for payment, communication, and more

9. ขอไลน์หน่อยสิ

   Khǒ lai nòi sì

   Give me your contact

   Usage

   Casual — for friends and peers. With someone older or senior, add "khrap / kha" and say "kho Lai dai mai khrap / kha". Thai names the concrete channel — "Lai" (LINE) or "boe" (phone number) — rather than an abstract "contact". For a number, say "kho boe noi si"

   Grammar Note

   "Kho + noun + noi" is the everyday way to ask for something. Final "si" nudges a friend along and is never used with seniors — drop it and swap in "dai mai khrap / kha" to be polite

10. เล่น LINE ไหม

    Lên LINE mǎi

    Do you use LINE?

    Usage

    Casual, no politeness particle — for friends and peers. Add "khrap / kha" with anyone older or senior. LINE is overwhelmingly the default in Thailand, used by everyone from street vendors to students

    Grammar Note

    Thai pairs social apps with the verb "len" (play): "len Facebook", "len IG". You can also ask by possession — "mi LINE mai" (do you have LINE?)

11. ขอดู QR โค้ดหน่อย

    Khǒ du QR khót nòi

    Show me your QR code

    Usage

    Casual — for friends and peers; add "khrap / kha" with anyone senior. QR codes drive everything in Thailand, from adding LINE friends to PromptPay transfers, so asking to see someone's screen is routine

    Grammar Note

    "Kho + verb + noi" = "let me [verb] for a sec". "Khot" is a loan from English "code", also written คิวอาร์โค้ด. If you are the one scanning, say "kho sakaen noi" (let me scan)

12. เดี๋ยวทักไปนะ

    Dǐao thák pai ná

    I'll message you later

    Usage

    A casual parting line for friends; add "khrap / kha" with anyone senior. "Thak" is the everyday Thai word for pinging someone on LINE or another chat app

    Grammar Note

    "Diao" opens the sentence to mean "in a bit, I'll…". The "pai" after the verb is a directional marker showing the action goes toward the listener, and "na" softens it into a friendly promise
