Is this a commercial break but good fun 😅?

[@Schrear]

Good job man. This is what you do when you not only love Thailand, but also respects it.

[@MogShade]

Well said....

[@davodavo1782]

Learning even just the basics of a language of a country such as Thailand will get you lots more respect from the locals and leads to all sorts of experiences you normally would miss out on otherwise. It certainly changed my life.

[@AndreaGG-i8t]

More respect and a lot of smiles too. Locals love to hear farangs speaking Thai. It is almost worth learning it only because of this.

[@שגהש]

Especially if you live in a country, you should learn the language and the culture and become one of them.

[@mikehunt5637]

I REALLY recommend taking the 100 Day Thai Challenge with Kru Fah. I wanted to surprise my Thai girlfriend who doesn't speak much English so I signed up for Kru Fah's class. I visited Thailand after about the first 50 lessons and my Thai girlfriend was very happy, and her friends were also very impressed. After finishing all 100 lessons, communicating with my Thai girlfriend is much easier.

[@geeb3376]

$500 is way too expensive. You could have used YT to get all that for free.

[@mikehunt5637]

@@geeb3376 I'm sorry, but you're wrong. $500 for 100 lessons and access to Kru Fah is a million times better than what you might learn on YT. Before I took her course, I might have agreed with you, but I have tried to learn Thai on my own and I have taken Kru Fahs 100 Day Thai Challenge, and there is no comparison. Trying to randomly learn Thai on YT as compared to a structured Thai language course is a waste of your time.

[@turbochargedfilms]

Well.... Time to get a Thai girlfriend first then 😅

[@matthewmasur6749]

Nice work bro, I am sure she is super happy with you

[@mikehunt5637]

@@matthewmasur6749 Thanks, Matthew. Pia is really happy. Just today she complimented me on my Thai again after our video chat. Even though I finished all my lessons, I still have access to all the video, the Quizlet flashcards, and the entire lesson book (which is a downloadable PDF), so I continue studying by reviewing. I was a little skeptical at first, but after all is said and done, I'm really glad I took the 100 Day Thai Language Challenge.

[@HipHopKorea]

Chris, I smiled while watching you crush this test! I’m impressed!

[@jellycoding]

What a lovely personality she has. It's a good thing she works with people.

[@THETINGTONGJOHN]

Always love watching your videos Chris. She’s a brilliant a teacher

[@MogShade]

Learning and practicing Thai with complete strangers in the wild is very rewarding. Thai people are so helpful, happy and encouraging when they hear / see a foreigner attempting to speak their language.

[@Radiancegrace]

Impressed with your skills and Fah is lovely🙏

[@stuharris9993]

I got a 95, but I'm not as fast as you Chris. I think those 100 words would get someone around Thailand pretty well. Good teacher!

[@NickLearnsThai-VLOG]

Great idea. I like that Kru Fah forced you to do them fast and interspersed with example sentences to keep you on your toes.

[@twinflowerfioretta]

"di mak" good job kah, great video ! I enjoyed it very much, some words i know, some i rememberd. Very lovely "suai" teache😊👍

[@beniam2042]

I was surprised to know more than 90 of these words. Fun video to watch!

[@ddd4783]

เห้ยยยยย ลุงคริสแอบไปฝึกภาษามา ความจำสุดยอดมากๆครับ

[@RandyTimeTraveler]

Great video ! My wife and I are planning a 3-week trip; Koh Chang, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Hua Hin, next year. Will be watching this over and over and learning as much as I can. You make it very fun !

[@UlyssesOfOmaha]

I'm moving here to retire in December. If my retirement visa process is ultimately unsuccessful, this statement will be irrelevant: I plan to spend the remainder of my life in Thailand paying forward what you are teaching all of us on this channel. These videos are a gift and it will be my honor to do so. You appear to appreciate shown gratitude rather than spoken appreciation, so I'll dive back in to the learning!

[@robertolesen2349]

Trying to teach myself some Thai I managed to get around 80% of this right, without anyone to practice with stitching sentences together is still a huge challenge for me.

[@famljw3095]

Wow, you're really getting better at this. Now would be a GREAT time to learn how to read and write in Thai. It will help with your pronunciation immensely as you will actually be able to "see" the tones. Your existing lexicon will really help with this process. Keep up the good work!

[@MaxHeifetz-zi3dc]

He already has a teacher 555

[@peterrangani]

Missed your vids .. So happy to see you back !

[@teckin139]

Kru Fah needs to help Chris with his tones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nlav26]

yeah, nice to see him trying but the tones were pretty much non-existent.

[@nicolasnord5361]

The pronunciation as well in some words.

[@jinparksoul]

@@nicolasnord5361 Yes, his pronunciation of the vowels of in very basics like ขอโทษ, ผม, and ฉัน were like fingernails on a chalkboard to me and my thai gf. Still there are no shortage of people likening him to a native speaker in the comments.

[@nicolasnord5361]

@@jinparksoul completely agree, it’s good he wants to learn but like c’mon all the videos are about Thailand… if I would spend that much time in Thailand as him, I would at least pay attention to the pronunciation. Not saying it’s easy because it’s not, but also it’s not impossible to learn.

[@nicolasnord5361]

@@jinparksoul also it’s nice that she is kind to him and is pushing him, but also she should correct him 😅 I would never let my Thai teacher to lie to me and tell me that I’m good and saying it good when I’m not 😂 … or maybe I see too much the details but in my opinion that’s exactly what makes it complete the language you learn.

[@southpaw1755]

Sounding like a native. Great job!

[@ptanisaro]

Chris can speak Thai quite fluent now. Impressive!

Way to go! Nice session language training paying off: something thing I never take for granted. Fun teacher too, and her enthusiasm makes it easier to follow and learn. One of the reasons we return to Thailand so often! 🎉

[@AbroadInThailand]

Thanks for sharing. Very educational! 🎉

[@jared40000]

Great job bro, but it was really hard to not notice how beautiful the teacher is. First time I think I want to stay after school.

[@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395]

Your vocab and ability to make sentences is superb wow! You really should only focus on your tones, and then you're all set

[@jinparksoul]

Far more than the tones are off and never corrected. Worst part of learning thai over a decade was people telling me how good my thai was when it actually was not very good and thus I never learned I was making a mistake. Its a cultural thing. I needed a paid private thai teacher and girlfriend to tell me the truth. For instance just at the start of the his test ขอโทษ, ผม, ฉัน all had the wrong vowel sounds.

[@XarxayJones]

When will the waitlist be over? I want to signup! 🙂

[@andrewlinstead8296]

Excellent video both entertaining and educational. I got more than half right (my Thai wife teaches me) but you were way too quick on some of them and I would have got a few more I think with a bit more time. Very enjoyable none the less !

Bravo Chris and Fah for making learning entertaining and fun. We will most likely participate in the Thai Language Challenge when we come to Bangkok next month.

[@AlteroThai]

Great effort! Finally, Chris can speak some Thai. But it can't be 'dee mak' (very good) each time as most of the words were pronounced wrong 😂 But anyway it was a fun watch and Kru Fah is adorable 😍 I hope Chris is really eager to learn Thai as he said in this video and will speak Thai fluently soon👍

[@IMadeOfClay]

Well done Chris. You're pretty good! I just finished learning the Thai alphabet a few days ago. It's a pretty funky alphabet. Next is to learn reading Thai. The bloody tone rules are killing me😂 After that, I'm going to go HARD with learning Thai properly. I'm looking forward to moving there in 2026. Thanks for the great video.

[@clauspedersen7206]

Thanks for the link🙏🏻🤩

[@andrewryan7583]

I got 95 and haven’t spoken any Thai in about 10 years. I’m happy with that!

[@tonfather9731]

Good job Chirs👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@johng5950]

I absolutely wish it was as simple as just memorizing the words, but the killer is that if you don't get the tones just right, you'll still likely not be understood by thai people regardless if you know the actual word. That is incredibly frustrating, but you got to start somewhere. Me and a thai woman reviewed a single word (maa) in multiple tones and it took at least 45 minutes before I got it right, even though the entire time I was positive I was saying it exactly like she was. Today, according to google translate, I am still unable to properly say the english word "horse" (maa, high tone) in thai language. Keep trying or give up. I choose to get trying.

[@JacksparowLL]

Good job Chris.

[@Rockstar_lisaaa]

Lovely 🙏🏻🇹🇭💕🫶🏻🥊💯 welcome to Thailand everyone 🥰

[@steveforbes8287]

Chris, that was really well done. You've done very well at learning Thai. I hope to do half as well as you. It's a shame that you will be backing off of your video production for a while. I guess you have earned a break, though. You have spent the past several years really putting your heart and soul into this channel. Some slack time would be good for you. Maybe you can go shore fishing and do some videos about fishing in Thailand? That sounds like a good idea to me. Another idea would be to see if the hobby of astronomy is practiced there. It seems as if it would have very nice night skies and a good telescope would open the universe to so many if you were to share it with them. Those are the two ideas that just popped into my head right now. Enjoy your slack time and thanks for all of your hard work.

[@jkow814]

Good video, I knew a lot of the words, but I still have problems with Tone and sentence structure. The thing I notice when looking for a Thai teacher is if they pronounce the words correctly, so they sound the same, Not all Thai instructors do, but she did and did a good job.

[@karisaraba]

Chris, You are very good at thai language. Come gratulation for You! I test myselve and I forgot about 5 word so You are better than me. But I am better at speaking tones because I knew all the tones of all the words. Unfortunately, I live in Poland and I only learn Thai as a hobby, mainly for singing songs. I have only been to Thailand 3 times for 2 weeks and I practically do not know this beautiful country. But I like watching your films and when I go to Thailand, this knowledge will be very useful to me.

Greetings Chris Parker, congratulations on completing Kru Fah’s Thai language and sentence structuring challenge. I agree with you in that, Kru Fah is indeed an extremely beautiful Thai woman and surely a knight will indeed ask for her hand going forward.

I'd like to learn Thai as well. and I have a question. "Can a student visa allow you to stay in Thailand more than 3 months?" It's kind of hard to get a straight answer to this one...

[@End_Illegal_Apartheid_israhell]

wow. wonderful

[@parawm4585]

Impressive Chris! But she's not being very strict on the tones :)

[@bengmelea8646]

Great job! Just be careful about saying the tones correctly. "Ma" can be pronounced many different ways - มา หมา ม้า ม่า หม่า -come (middle tone), dog (rising tone), horse (high tone), or mom (informal -falling tone), or as a consonant like in ประหม่า (low tone). You can see how the meaning of a sentence can completely change just by using the wrong tone! Most Thai people will get the meaning you intend to say from context, for example: "I'm going to ride my horse" rather than "I'm going to ride my dog".

[@bengmelea8646]

5:56 Near klai (ใกล้ -falling tone) and far klai (ไกล -middle tone) often get mixed up. You pronounce it correctly at first but when you put it in a sentence it comes out as "far". Khru Fah will always encourage her students with a compliment which is typical Thai -even if they're not 100% correct. It's good for business to keep those students coming and makes the students like you!
