Say “I Love You” and Other Thai Love Phrases
October 1, 2007
When you meet a girl and you like her or think she’s pretty you want to be able to tell her right? It can be hard enough for some of us when the girl speaks the same language as us, but what can you do if you’ve just met the Thai girl of your dreams and don’t know how to tell her how you feel?
Here are a few phrases of love that will go a long way in letting your girl know how you feel and finding out how she feels. Don’t let the spoken language barrier block the language of the heart.
koon suay mak - You are very beautiful
koon na-ruk mak - You are very cute
koon tam hai pom mee kwarm sook - You make me happy
pom kit teung koon - I miss you
pom sot - I am single
koon chorp pom reu blao - Do you like me? (For yes the reply is “chorp” and for no the reply is “mai chorp”)
koon mee faen reu yung - Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend? (For yes the reply is “mee” and for no the reply is “mai mee”)
ben faen pom dai mai - Can you be my girlfriend? (For yes the reply is “dai” and for no the reply is “mai dai”)
pom kit wa pom long ruk koon - I think I have fallen in love with you
hua jai kong pom ben kong koon - My heart is yours
chan rak khoon - I love you
chan rak khoon maak leeuy - I love you so much
joop dai mai - Can I kiss you?
tee rak - sweetheart or darling
koon keu yot ruk kong pom - You are my sweetheart
That’s all for right now, I’ll post more Thai dating and love phrases later so you can speak of matters of the heart better with your Thai girlfriend. Let me know if there’s anything specific you would like to know.

How do you pronounce some of the sentences coz i know there are a lot of silent Ts and Ks etc in thai language…so can you also share the pronounciation text (tee rak - is it pronounced TEE RAK?) along with the written translation.
What about writing it there in Thai letters too?
Like: Do you have a gf = คุณมีแฟนหรือยัง [koon mee faen reu yung]
So they an surprise their lover writing something in Thai :]
@ Jerry - These are already phoenetic spellings so no silent letters included. They are pronounced as they are spelled.
@ Porn - That’s a great idea! Of course I can’t do it myself as I’ve never been able to find the time to read/write Thai. Maybe once I am semi-retired. I will see if I can convince Golf to do the translations for everyone and will update here soon hopefully.
