How to say “Back (of the body)” in Thai

หลัง

lǎng

“back (of the body)”

“Back (of the body)” in Thai is หลัง, written lǎng in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

หลัง carries a rising tone — dips, then climbs like a question. Thai uses tone to tell words apart, so the pitch is part of the word, not an accent you can drop.

The shortest way in is an English intonation you already use. Say “Huh?” out loud — puzzled, because you genuinely did not catch that — then say หลัง with that same shape.
