How to say “Drunk” in Thai
เมา
mao
“drunk”
“Drunk” in Thai is เมา, written mao in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
เมา carries a mid tone — level, no movement. 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 “Yeah.” out loud — bored and flat, your voice at rest and going nowhere — then say เมา with that same shape.
