bpai nǎi  maa =  Where have you been?

“maa”–  is usually means..to come.. but when it’s located at the end of the sentence, That’s sentence becomes past tense sentence.

bpai nǎi  maa =  Where have you been?

Watch this video for an example:

Wife: bpai nai maa (where have you been?)

husband: Bpra-chum ( (I had) meeting.)

Wife: laew bpai (Okay(over) then)

* laew bpai — be over; be ended; be bygone
laew bpai– is the answer which is an expression of the relieved feeling from trying to caught somebody mistage.

About me

Sawaddee kha!!

My name is Orapan. I would like to provide Thai lesson to anyone around the world who want to learn communicate Thai or develop a better understanding of Thailand. Thai is my native tongue, I have lots of experience teaching, and I am very patient. My class will help you to achieve your goal faster in fun and easy way.

I received my bachelor degree in English from Rajabhat Institute Maha Sarakham University, Maha Sarakham, Thailand.

I have experienced teaching at the well-known Thai Language School for the foreigners and as a private tutor over 4 years, Thailand and USA.  My teaching experience has helped me to understand each student has different needs, so I prefer giving a private lesson because I can design each curriculum to suit student’s interest. That’s made me become a successful language teacher because my major concern is the progress of each individual student in my classes.

I want a student to be able to speak Thai naturally like a native as much as possible.

Sincerely,

Orapan

Thailand, land of smiles, is a beautiful place that every one should visit some day. Better start getting prepared now!
