Sports & Hobbies: what a phrasebook leaves out
The context beside the words in chapter 13. Learn what the situation asks of you, as well as what to say.
Talk about what you like to do with ชอบ (chorp, like) + verb: ชอบเล่น (like to play). Hobbies are great small-talk - Thais love asking about them.
