In Thailand, do boys say that Sawadika is a joke?

Whether Sawadika can make jokes generally varies from person to person. In Thailand, boys can't say that, because Sawadika is generally a word that women respond to, and boys will be mistaken for shemale if they say it.

Thailand, as a world tourist destination, has beautiful scenery, but in Thailand, due to the hospitality of local people, tourists often meet local people and say "Sawadika" with their hands folded, which often appears in various film and television works. It's harmless, but if you follow the trend, it will attract attention. Not everyone can say this sentence in Thailand.

In Thai, Sawadika means hello. "Ka" is a modal particle, which is equivalent to "you" and "ah" in China. But its particularity lies in that it is a modal particle with special purpose. In Thailand, girls use it by default, but boys don't. If Thai boys respond with Sawadika, they will mistake you for a shemale and make jokes. Therefore, when Thai men say hello, they usually use "kabu" as the modal particle at the end, which together is "Sawadika no".

There are many places to pay attention to when traveling in Thailand. After all, the customs of every place are different, and a little carelessness will make a joke. There are many friendly nicknames in Thai, and many of them have the word "fart". In addition, locals usually use reduplicated words to express friendliness when addressing others, such as "Nuo Nuo", "Longlong" or "Fart Nuo Nuo" and "Fart Longlong". Translating into Chinese actually means brother and sister. Although it is only a phonetic word, it has different meanings for people of different sexes.

Besides some modal particles, you should also pay attention to many living customs in Thailand. If you only travel for a period of time, as long as you don't touch their taboos, but if you want to settle in Thailand, you must really integrate into the local area and learn their living customs.
