意味
Switching off the electrical lighting.
文化的背景
Saving electricity is a major point of discipline in Thai families. Leaving a light on is often seen as a sign of being 'unmindful' or 'wasteful'. In Bangkok, 'Earth Hour' is a high-profile event where major malls and temples 'ปิดไฟ' simultaneously to promote environmental awareness. Some Thais avoid turning off all lights in a house if they are alone, believing that 'Phi' (ghosts) are more active in total darkness. It is common to see stickers on light switches in Thai government offices reminding people to 'ปิดไฟทุกครั้งหลังใช้งาน' (Turn off the light every time after use).
The 'Open/Close' Rule
In Thai, you 'open' and 'close' almost everything: lights, water, doors, windows, and even your heart!
Don't forget the 'Noi'
Just saying 'ปิดไฟ' can sound like a harsh command. Always add 'หน่อย' (nòi) to make it a request.

The Bill Factor
If you want to sound really Thai when someone leaves a light on, say 'เปลืองค่าไฟ!' (Waste of electricity money!)

よくある質問
10 問Yes, 'ปิดทีวี' is perfectly correct. The 'open/close' logic applies to most electronics.
'ปิดไฟ' is for switches. 'ดับไฟ' is for extinguishing flames or when the power goes out (ไฟดับ).
No, you should say 'กรุณาปิดไฟด้วยครับ' or 'ช่วยปิดไฟให้หน่อยครับ'.
You can say 'ไฟปิดอยู่' (The lights are in a closed state).
It's a linguistic leftover from the days of oil lamps where you had to physically close the lantern.
Not directly, but in poetic or cinematic contexts, 'the lights going out' can symbolize death.
Not a specific word, but shortening it to just 'ปิดดิ' (Close it!) is very casual slang.
No, 'ปิดไฟ' is fine for general use. Use 'ดวง' only if you are pointing at a specific bulb.
Use 'ปิดไฟหน้า' (pìt fai naa).
Yes, though the pronunciation of 'pìt' and 'fai' might change (e.g., in Isan or Northern Thai).
