なぜbusiness & meetingsのタイ語を学ぶのか？
Business Thai is the difference between being understood at work and being trusted at work. Thai professional life runs on hierarchy and harmony — the same fifty phrases cover ninety percent of emails, meetings, and follow-ups from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Whether you are writing a status update to a client in Silom, opening a video call with a supplier in Rayong, or following up on a contract with a partner in Phuket, the right phrase in the right register is what makes you sound like a peer, not a foreigner. What separates business Thai from conversational Thai is not just vocabulary — it is the polite particles 'khrap' and 'kha', the formal pronouns, and the indirect, face-saving phrasing that Thai culture expects. A direct 'No' becomes 'Yom dai na khrap' (might be difficult); a blunt deadline is softened with 'Nai wa khao khun duai dai mai khrap' (could we consider within this timeframe?). LangOria's business-phrase deck is built around the ten sentences that come up in every meeting and every email chain, with politeness calibrated for Thai corporate culture where saving face matters more than speed. Master these ten phrases and you can walk into any Thai-language meeting and carry your weight — even at A2. The phrases double as templates for the email lines you write the night before.

文化とエチケット
Thai business culture is harmony-first: confrontation is avoided, and 'yes' may mean 'I heard you' rather than 'I agree'. Silence is not awkward — it is thinking. The wai greeting applies in business too; the junior person wais first, the senior returns it. Add 'khrap' (male) or 'kha' (female) to every sentence. Address senior colleagues as 'Khun' followed by their first name (e.g. 'Khun Somchai') — surnames are long and rarely used. Email subject lines should be clear and prefixed with the topic. The meeting often opens with personal pleasantries — skip them and you seem cold. Hierarchy is respected: the most senior person speaks first and last. 'Mai pen rai' (never mind) is the phrase that smooths over mistakes and delays — use it to show grace, not to dismiss concerns. Business cards are exchanged with the right hand or both hands, and given a moment of study before being pocketed. Avoid pointing with your feet or touching anyone's head. Friday afternoons are quiet; Buddhist holidays (especially in July) slow the calendar. Follow up meetings with a 'khop khun khrap' email summarising decisions.
このシナリオの学習方法
Spend five to seven days on the business deck before your first Thai-language meeting. Review the ten phrases with spaced repetition until you produce them cold, then drill the email templates out loud. In real life, listen for the particles your colleagues use and mirror them — 'khrap' if you are male, 'kha' if you are female, attached to nearly every sentence. The ten-minute daily loop plus one real meeting per week is enough to reach professional working Thai in three months. Three habits to layer in: (1) Before every meeting, read the agenda once and underline the two phrases you will most likely need ('rao atan praroi pro [time]?' — can we meet at [time]?, 'chao kan ruang [project]' — update on [project]) — this is your pre-rehearsal; (2) After every meeting, write the follow-up email in Thai, even if your colleague would accept English — the writing is where the polite register locks in; (3) Once a week, rewrite in Thai one email you would normally send in English. By month three, you should reply in Thai without a translator.
