Thai Swimming Vocabulary

Do you like swimming? I do.

Even though I have just learned how to swim not long ago, I find it fun!

So today, I have some Thai vocabulary about swimming.

Let’s check this out!

 

Thailand being a hot tropical country helps to make swimming both a popular exercise and a way to cool down after a long hot day. A bit of Thai vocabulary will help you talk to Thais and make more friends. Have a try.
