How to say “Old (things)” in Thai
เก่า
gào
“old (things)”
“Old (things)” in Thai is เก่า, written gào in the Latin alphabet.
Tone
เก่า carries a low tone — below your resting pitch, and it stays there. 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 “Don’t.” out loud — quiet and stern, the warning you give without raising your voice — then say เก่า with that same shape.
