SWE 118 Wayne Gretzky Motivational Quote

The word “vacation” in Thai is พักร้อน (pák-rón)
พัก (pák) = to rest
ร้อน (rón) = ฤดูร้อน (réu-doo-rón) = summer
พักร้อน (pák-rón) = to go on vacation or to take a vacation/annual leave 

You can ask someone:
คุณจะไปพักร้อนที่ไหน (kun jà bpai pák-rón têe-nai) = Where are you going on vacation?
จะ (jà) = will
ไป (bpai) = to go
พักร้อน (pák-rón) = vacation/ annual leave 
ที่ไหน (têe-nai) = where

Now, let’s learn more phrases 

1. ไปเที่ยว (bpai-tîiao) = to go visit somewhere or go on vacation.
ไป (bpai) = to go
เที่ยว (tîiao) = to travel/ visit somewhere 

ผมจะไปเที่ยวเชียงใหม่ (pǒm jà bpai tîiao chiiang-mài) = I’m going to visit Chiang Mai.

ฉันอยากไปเที่ยวทะเลแล้วก็ดำน้ำ (chan yàak bpai-tîiao tá-lay láew-gôr dam-náam) = I want to go to the sea and snorkel.
อยาก (yàak) = to want to do sth
ทะเล (tá-lay) = sea
แล้วก็ (láew-gôr) = and, and then
ดำน้ำ (dam-náam) = to snorkel/ dive 

2. เที่ยวให้สนุกนะ (tîiao hâi sà-nùk ná) = Have fun. Have a great trip.
สนุก (sà-nùk) = fun

3. เดินทางปลอดภัย (dern-taang bplòt-pai) = Have a safe trip.
เดินทาง (dern-taang) = to travel
ปลอดภัย (bplòt-pai) = safe

4. กลับบ้าน (glàp-bâan) = to go back home
กลับ (glàp) = to go back
บ้าน (bâan) = home

This can also mean to go back to hometown to visit their family as well.

All right. We have seven phrases today. Let’s repeat again.

1. พักร้อน (pák-rón) = to go on vacation or to take a vacation/annual leave 

2. คุณจะไปพักร้อนที่ไหน (kun jà bpai pák-rón têe-nai) = Where are you going on vacation?

3. ผมจะไปเที่ยวเชียงใหม่ (pǒm jà bpai tîiao chiiang-mài) = I’m going to visit Chiang Mai.

4. ฉันอยากไปเที่ยวทะเล แล้วก็ดำน้ำ (chan yàak bpai-tîiao tá-lay láew-gôr dam-náam) = I want to go to the sea and snorkel.

5. เที่ยวให้สนุกนะ (tîiao hâi sà-nùk ná) = Have fun. Have a great trip.

6. เดินทางปลอดภัย (dern-taang bplòt-pai) = Have a safe trip.

7. กลับบ้าน (glàp-bâan) = to go back home
