Worth knowing

Age decides the words

พี่ for someone slightly older, น้อง for someone younger - used with strangers, waiters and colleagues alike. Guessing wrong is harmless; guessing older than the person is the safer error to make.

สนุก and สบาย run the culture

สนุก is fun, สบาย is comfortable and at ease - the word this app is named after. Together they explain a great deal about how things are done here, and both show up constantly in ordinary conversation.
