✍️ A few words to start and end with
Nobody expects a whole letter in their language. A greeting and a sign-off in it says you thought about who is reading — and gives them something to correct, which is a fine way to start a friendship.
Thai
- Hello
- สวัสดี · Sawatdee
- Opening a letter
- ถึง … · Thueng …
- Thank you for your letter
- ขอบคุณสำหรับจดหมาย · Khop khun samrap chotmai
