How do you say thank in Thai phonetically?

There are two ways to say "thank you" in Thai, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Khop khun kha (for females) / Khop khun krap (for males)

* Phonetically: kop kʰun kʰa / kop kʰun kʰrap

Informal:

* Khop khun

* Phonetically: kop kʰun

Tips for Pronunciation:

* K sounds like the "k" in "kick".

* H is a soft aspirated "h", almost like a breath.

* P is similar to the English "p".

* U is similar to the English "oo" in "moon".

* N is similar to the English "n".

* Kʰ is a stronger, aspirated "k", as in "cough".

* A is similar to the English "a" in "father".

It's important to note that the informal "Khop khun" is more common among friends and family.
