Signification
Inviting someone to go on a trip or outing.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Sanuk' means that even mundane tasks should be made fun. 'ไปเที่ยวกัน' is the verbal embodiment of this philosophy. Thais are among the world's most active social media users. 'ไปเที่ยวกัน' is a ubiquitous hashtag (#ไปเที่ยวกัน) used to share travel aesthetics. It is common for Thai offices to organize an annual 'Company Outing.' Employees will use 'ไปเที่ยวกัน' to describe this, even though it's work-sponsored. Multi-generational trips are common. 'ไปเที่ยวกัน' often includes grandparents, parents, and children all in one van.
The 'Na' Factor
Always add 'นะ' (na) at the end to sound much more friendly and persuasive. 'ไปเที่ยวกันนะ' is much harder to say no to!
Not for Work
Never use this with your boss for a business trip unless you are very close and the trip is actually for fun.

The Vague Invitation
Sometimes Thais say 'ว่างๆ ไปเที่ยวกันนะ' (When free, let's go out). This is often a polite social filler, similar to 'We should do lunch sometime' in English.
