Let’s Celebrate! Thai Party Words You’ll Love
Thai parties are colorful, joyful, and full of tasty food, music, and laughter just like the language kids use during them! Whether it’s a birthday, school celebration, or a national holiday, children in Thailand pick up playful and polite words that help them express excitement, kindness, and gratitude.
Here are some Thai party words kids will love to say:
งานเลี้ยง (ngaan líang) – Party
Used for all kinds of gatherings—from birthday parties to school events.
สุขสันต์วันเกิด (sùk-săn wan-gèrt) – Happy Birthday!
A longer phrase, but super fun to sing and say when celebrating someone special.
ขนม (kha-nŏm) – Snacks/Desserts
A favorite word among Thai kids, especially when there’s cake or sweets involved!
สนุกมาก (sà-nùk mâak) – So fun!
A great phrase for any party—used by kids when dancing, playing, or eating delicious food.
ของขวัญ (kŏng-kwăn) – Gift
This word pops up during birthdays and New Year parties when kids exchange presents.
What makes Thai parties even more special is the blend of joyful chaos and deep-rooted politeness. Kids often say “ขอบคุณครับ/ค่ะ” (khàwp khun khráp/kâ) or thank you after receiving a gift or a piece of cake. It’s all part of the celebration!
Platforms like Dinolingo help reinforce these everyday words in party-themed songs, animations, and games. So the next time your child attends a party—real or pretend—they might just surprise you with some cheerful Thai!
