How to talk about
different types of shops in the Thai language
Hi everyone.
In this Thai language lesson we will learn some Thai vocabulary about different types of shops or stores.
In Thai we call shops – ร้าน ráan. You can talk about any shop in the Thai language by taking the objects that are sold in the shop and then adding the word ráan at the beginning. Here are some examples:
Thai Shop Vocabulary
ร้านอาหาร /ráan aa-hǎan/ = restaurant
ร้านซักรีด /ráan sàk rîit/ = laundry
ร้านตัดผม /ráan dtàt pǒm/ = barber’s
ร้านเสริมสวย /ráan sə̌əm sǔai/ = beauty shop, beauty salon
ร้านอินเตอร์เน็ต /ráan in-dtəə-nèt/ = internet cafe
ร้านขายยา /ráan kǎai yaa/ = pharmacy
ร้าน(ขาย)โทรศัพท์ /ráan (kǎai) too-rá-sàp/ = mobile shop
ร้าน(ขาย)เสื้อผ้า /ráan (kǎai) sʉ̂a-pâa/ = clothes shop
ร้าน(ขาย)กาแฟ /ráan (kǎai) gaa-fɛɛ/ = coffee shop
ร้าน(ขาย)หนังสือ /ráan (kǎai) nǎng-sʉ̌ʉ/ = bookstore
ร้าน(ขาย)ขนมปัง /ráan (kǎai) kà-nǒm-bpang/ = bakery
