pai trong-trong
ไปตรงๆ
This phrase is a very common and direct instruction used when giving directions. It means to continue moving forward without turning left or right. It's a fundamental and polite way to guide someone along a path or road, indicating a straight trajectory.
In Thai, repeating an adjective or adverb (reduplication) often intensifies its meaning or indicates a continuous or sustained state. 'ตรง' (trong) means 'straight' or 'direct'. Reduplicating it to 'ตรงๆ' (trong-trong) emphasizes the straightness, meaning 'straight ahead' or 'directly straight', making the instruction clearer and more emphatic, often implying 'continuously straight'.
