Haw do you say goodbye in Thai?

There are a few ways to say goodbye in Thai, depending on the formality of the situation:

Formal:

* ลาก่อน (laa-gawn): This is the most formal way to say goodbye and is appropriate for elders, superiors, or in professional settings.

* สวัสดีค่ะ/ครับ (sa-wat-dee krap/kha): This literally means "hello," but can also be used as a formal way to say goodbye. "Krap" is used by men, and "kha" is used by women.

Informal:

* บาย (bai): This is a casual way to say goodbye, similar to "bye" in English.

* เจอกันใหม่ (jəə-gan-mài): This means "see you later" and is a more casual way to say goodbye.

* ไปแล้วนะ (bpai-lɛ́o-ná): This means "I'm going now" and is a very informal way to say goodbye.

Other ways:

* ไว้เจอกัน (wái jəə-gan): This means "see you again" and is a common way to say goodbye.

* ไปดีๆ นะ (bpai-dii-dii ná): This means "have a safe trip" and is often used when someone is leaving for a long journey.

The best way to say goodbye depends on the context and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
