뜻
Making a reservation at a restaurant.
문화적 배경
In casual Thai eateries, 'จองโต๊ะ' is often done by placing a pack of tissues or an umbrella on the table. This is a widely understood social contract. In high-end clubs, 'จองโต๊ะ' usually requires buying a bottle of spirits. The table is yours as long as the bottle is there. When 'จองโต๊ะ' for a business lunch, the person who invites usually arrives early to ensure the table is the best one available, showing respect to the client. Apps like 'QueQ' have revolutionized 'จองโต๊ะ'. You can now book a place in line from kilometers away, reflecting Thailand's high mobile penetration.
Use 'Wai'
Always add 'wai' (จองโต๊ะไว้) when you arrive at the restaurant. It sounds much more like a native speaker.
The Tissue Trick
In food courts, if you see a pack of tissues on a table, it's 'จองแล้ว' (already reserved). Don't sit there!
