Significado
Asking for someone's opinion on a matter.
Contexto cultural
When asking a senior (Pee) for their opinion, always add 'khrap' or 'ka' and perhaps use 'คิดว่ายังไงบ้าง' to sound more respectful. Thais might not give a direct 'no' when asked 'คิดยังไง'. If they say 'ก็ดีนะ' (It's okay/good), they might actually mean they don't like it but don't want to hurt your feelings. On Thai social media, 'คิดยังไง' is often used as a hashtag #คิดยังไง เพื่อระดมความคิดเห็น (to crowd-source opinions) on trending topics. In Thailand, decisions are often collective. Asking 'คิดยังไง' is a way to ensure 'Face' is maintained for everyone in the group.
Add 'Bang'
Always add 'บ้าง' (bang) at the end to sound 20% more like a native speaker. 'คิดยังไงบ้าง?'
Avoid 'Arai'
Never say 'Khit arai' to ask for an opinion. It sounds like you are asking 'What are you thinking about right now?' (like a daydream).
