Order like a local in any Thai restaurant or street stall. This topic covers eating out — asking for a table, ordering staples like ผัดกะเพรา (holy-basil stir-fry) and ผัดไทย (pad thai), using the right classifiers — จาน (a plate), แก้ว (a glass) — and customising your food: ไม่เผ็ดมาก (not too spicy), flagging an allergy, or asking for มังสวิรัติ (vegetarian). Its 42 sentences, recorded by native speakers and with English translations and word-by-word notes, also build the vocabulary of the five Thai tastes and how to ask for the check or a takeaway.
