Say “I Love You” and Other Thai Love Phrases

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.

Updated with Thai script as requested by Porn so you can now surprise your girlfriend by sending her some words of love in writing.

koon suay mak (คุณสวยมาก) – You are very beautiful
koon na-ruk mak (คุณน่ารักมาก) – You are very cute
koon tam hai pom mee kwarm sook (คุณทำให้ผมมีความสุข) – You make me happy
pom kit teung koon (ผมคิดถึงคุณ) – I miss you
pom sot (ผมยังโสด) – I am single
koon chorp pom reu blao (คุณชอบผมหรือเปล่า) – Do you like me? (For yes the reply is “chorp” and for no the reply is “mai chorp”)
koon mee faen reu yung (คุณมีแฟนหรือยัง) – 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 (เป็นแฟนผมได้ไหม) – 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 (ผมคิดว่าผมหลงรักคุณ) – I think I have fallen in love with you
hua jai kong pom ben kong koon (หัวใจของผมเป็นของคุณ) – My heart is yours
chan rak khoon (ฉันรักคุณ) – I love you
chan rak khoon maak leeuy (ฉันรักคุณมากเลย) – I love you so much
joop dai mai (จูบได้ไหม) – Can I kiss you?
tee rak (ที่รัก) – sweetheart or darling
koon keu yot ruk kong pom (คุณคือยอดรักของผม) – 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.

    @Mickael

    So what’s your point on how many rooms your heart has ??? In fact, it could be a 1000 rooms hotel … if someone is the only one in that hotel… the same hotel could actually have 5000 rooms … what’s that … a typical, boring “American” joke … are we supposed to laugh now or just forget about you J*** ?

    Hi Steve,
    I found the way to read (pronounce) those Thai sentences.
    1. Use google translate tool: translate.google.com
    2. Paste the Thai sentences you want to read.
    3. There’s a listen button on the bottom right corner box.
    Click and listen how they pronounce :)
    Enjoy

      Very nice find! Does it actually pronounce them correctly or does it garble everything the way it does when you try to translate? I’m guessing the audio is easier than the translation maybe? Does it also get the tones correct?

    Are American names pronounced the same in Thai as in English? I heard someone introduce themselves and the name sounded quite different.

    • Steve 22 January 2011 at 2:01 pm Permalink

      Maybe because Thais have trouble pronouncing certain sounds and consonant combinations. For example, almost every Thai pronounces my name ‘Sa-teeb’, because they have trouble with the ‘st’ combination as well as the letter ‘v’.

        Very interesting. Thanks for the insight.

    Sorry Big Daddy S, you mispelled somes words “ฉันก็ฅีดถ๊งและเปีนหวงฅฌเหม็อน?รักนะลับๆ” must be “คิดถึงและเป็นห่วง รักนะ”. You don’t need to always say the pronoun in thai language. Also be careful: “ห่วง” means to be worry about BUT “หวง” means to be jealous.

    Another sentence to complete this article:

    “มีแต่คุณในหัวใจ” – You are the only one in my heart

    And then for fun to add:

    “แต่หัวใจมีสี่ห้อง” – But my heart has 4 rooms :)

    • erlando mariano 27 December 2012 at 7:23 pm Permalink

      can you translate in word i cant understand the thai writing
      “มีแต่คุณในหัวใจ”
      :0

    thanks a million Steve!

    • Steve 20 August 2010 at 11:41 am Permalink

      My pleasure Big Daddy S ;)

  6. Big Daddy S 19 August 2010 at 5:56 am Permalink

    Sorry it should be

    ฉันก็ฅีดถ๊งและเปีนหวงฅฌเหม็อน?รักนะลับๆ

    missed out some words earlier on.

    • Steve 19 August 2010 at 9:10 am Permalink

      It’s still missing some characters, but this is what it says:
      “I miss you too and worry about you. Love you”

  7. Big Daddy S 19 August 2010 at 5:37 am Permalink

    Wonder if I could get some help translating this Thai msg. As I know close to nil about the thai languague, this short text took me like 20 mintues with a Thai virture keyboard to typ it out, those ?? are words that I was not able to find. LoLZ!

    ฉํนก้ภ็งะเปีหวงดฌเหม็อน?กันรักนะ????

  8. Michael @ Bellingham Real Estate 13 August 2010 at 3:44 pm Permalink

    I always tell my wife “pom ra khun” for I love you

    “kit teung koon jeung loy”for I miss you

    • Mal 28 August 2012 at 7:38 am Permalink

      I think you are insulting your wife – leave out the “jeung loy”

  9. katie 3 March 2010 at 9:17 am Permalink

    how would you say nicky in thai? oh and Nan in thai? i want to learn how to pronounce it.

  10. dio 12 February 2010 at 7:33 am Permalink

    What the following sentence means?
    Sabay dee kha.Kid tueng khun mak mak.Doo lae tour aeng duay na..

    • Steve 16 February 2010 at 11:34 am Permalink

      @dio
      I’m doing well. Miss you very much. And take care yourself.

  11. Steve 7 June 2008 at 9:28 am Permalink

    @ 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.

  12. Porn 6 June 2008 at 5:27 pm Permalink

    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 :]

  13. Jerry 24 May 2008 at 4:22 pm Permalink

    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.
