How do you Welcome in Thai?

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

Formal:

* ยินดีต้อนรับ (yin di ton rap) - This is the most common and formal way to say "Welcome." It literally translates to "Happy to welcome."

* ยินดีที่ได้พบ (yin di thi dai pob) - This means "Happy to meet you." It is a more personal welcome, suitable for meeting someone for the first time.

Informal:

* ยินดี (yin di) - This is a shortened version of "yin di ton rap" and is more casual.

* ต้อนรับ (ton rap) - This literally means "to welcome." It is very informal and only used with close friends.

Other ways to express welcome:

* ดีใจที่ได้เจอ (dee jai thi dai jur) - This means "Glad to see you."

* ขอต้อนรับ (kor ton rap) - This literally translates to "Please welcome," and is a more polite way to say "Welcome."

Tip:

The choice of welcome depends on the situation. If you are in a formal setting, such as a hotel or business, use "yin di ton rap" or "yin di thi dai pob." If you are talking to a friend, "yin di" or "ton rap" are more appropriate.
