Say it
sà-wàt-dii
สวัสดี
The universal Thai greeting used for both hello and goodbye. Add ครับ (kráp) for male speakers or ค่ะ (kâ) for female speakers to sound polite. Used in all contexts — meeting friends, entering shops, greeting colleagues. Omitting the polite particle sounds casual or abrupt.
