How to say “Doctor” in Thai

หมอ

mǎaw

“doctor”

“Doctor” in Thai is หมอ, written mǎaw in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

หมอ 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 หมอ with that same shape.
