Cultural Tip: Politeness in Thai Verbs

In Thai culture, it is important to show respect when speaking. When using verbs, always remember to add the polite particle ครับ (khrap) when speaking as a male, or ค่ะ (kha) when speaking as a female. This simple addition shows politeness and respect in your language interactions.
