Significado
Changing a previous decision.
Contexto cultural
Lao people value 'Muon' (fun) and 'Sabai' (comfort). If a plan stops being 'Muon', it is socially acceptable to 'pìan chai' without much fuss. In business, changing your mind too often can lead to a loss of 'Face'. It's better to use 'Khor thod' (Sorry) and provide a logical reason. The phrase is a staple in 'Phleng Phuea Chivit' and pop songs, often describing a lover who has found someone new. The concept of 'Anicca' (impermanence) means that thoughts and 'hearts' are always changing. This makes 'pìan chai' a very natural part of the human condition.
Add 'Laew'
Always add 'ແລ້ວ' (laew) to sound more natural when you've already made the new decision.
Don't be too blunt
When changing plans with an elder, add 'Khor thod' (Sorry) first to be polite.
