Kultureller Hintergrund
Thai culture values 'Kreng Jai' (consideration for others). Using 'ไม่แน่ใจ' helps avoid direct refusal. In Thai business, saying 'I don't know' is risky. 'ไม่แน่ใจ' is the standard professional hedge. When friends ask for plans, 'ไม่แน่ใจ' is a soft way to say 'maybe' without committing. Staff use it to avoid giving wrong information to customers.
