Say it
taang-dtan
ทางตัน
A road or path that has no exit, literally meaning 'blocked road.' Thai speakers use this for actual dead-end streets when giving directions, and metaphorically for situations with no solution or way forward. Common in Bangkok's maze-like soi system where many small streets end abruptly.
