How to say “To travel” in Thai

เที่ยว

thîeaw

“to travel / go out for fun”

“To travel” in Thai is เที่ยว, written thîeaw in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

เที่ยว carries a falling tone — starts high, drops hard. 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 “NO!” out loud — snapped at a dog going for the food on the table — then say เที่ยว with that same shape.
