뜻
Giving a direction to turn left.
문화적 배경
Thailand drives on the left. This means left turns are often 'free' at intersections, even if the light is red, provided there is a sign saying 'เลี้ยวซ้ายผ่านตลอด'. In Bangkok, 'Sois' (alleys) are often one-way or very narrow. Giving a 'เลี้ยวซ้าย' command too late can result in a long detour. When giving directions to an elder or a driver, adding 'ครับ/ค่ะ' is not just polite; it's expected to maintain a smooth social interaction. The word 'Sai' (left) is used in many compound words. For example, 'สายตา' (eyesight) uses a different 'Sai' (line), so be careful with spelling!
Use your hands
When saying 'เลี้ยวซ้าย' to a driver, pointing left helps ensure there is no tonal misunderstanding.
Watch for 'Pass Through'
Remember that 'Left turn permitted' is common; don't be scared if the driver turns on red!

Add 'Khao Soi'
If turning into an alley, say 'เลี้ยวซ้ายเข้าซอย' (Liao sai khao soi) to sound more natural.
Politeness matters
Always end with 'khrap' or 'kha' when giving directions to a stranger.
