| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Jay: When you want to say thank to your friends informally, say khàawp-jai. You can say this to someone younger than you or to someone of a lower social status than you. I often use this with my younger sister. Khàawp-jai indicates that you are very close to the person, so don’t use it when you meet someone for the first time. |
