There are a few ways to say "well done" in Thai, depending on the context and the level of formality:

Formal:

* ดีเยี่ยม (dee yiem) - This is the most formal way to say "excellent" or "well done." It is often used in professional settings.

* ยอดเยี่ยม (yot yiem) - Similar to "dee yiem," this is a formal way to say "outstanding" or "well done."

Informal:

* เก่ง (geng) - This means "good" or "skilled" and can be used to say "well done" in a casual setting.

* เยี่ยม (yiem) - This is a more casual way to say "excellent" or "well done."

* สุดยอด (soot yot) - This means "the best" and can be used to express appreciation for a great job.

Adding "for you" or "for your work":

* ดีมาก สำหรับคุณ (dee mak samrap khun) - This means "very good for you" and is a polite way to express appreciation for someone's work.

* ยอดเยี่ยม สำหรับงานของคุณ (yot yiem samrap ngan khong khun) - This means "outstanding for your work" and is a more formal way to praise someone's efforts.

Choosing the right expression:

* Consider the relationship between you and the person you're talking to.

* Think about the formality of the situation.

* Choose an expression that accurately conveys your meaning.

For example, you could say "ดีเยี่ยม (dee yiem)" to your boss after a successful presentation, but you might say "เก่ง (geng)" to your friend after they ace a test.
