Bedeutung
A place filled with many people.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Thailand, a 'khon yuea' market is a good market. It implies the produce is rotating quickly and is therefore fresh. Thais often use the crowd as a quality filter. On the BTS/MRT, 'khon yuea' is a daily reality. Thais are generally very patient in crowds, practicing 'Geng-jai' (not wanting to bother others). During the water festival, 'khon yuea' reaches its peak. Areas like Khao San Road become so packed that movement is impossible. This is the ultimate 'khon yuea' experience. Young Thais love 'Cafe Hopping'. If a cafe is 'khon yuea', it's a double-edged sword: great for photos, but hard to find a seat.
The 'Jang' Add-on
Add 'jang' at the end (คนเยอะจัง) to sound more like a native speaker expressing surprise.
Don't use with 'Bpen'
Never say 'Khon bpen yuea'. Thai adjectives don't need the verb 'to be'.

Crowds = Quality
If a Thai person says 'khon yuea' about a restaurant, they are often recommending it!
