意思
The act of having breakfast, lunch, or dinner
文化背景
In Bangkok and central regions, 'Thaan' is the standard for the urban middle class. Using 'Kin' in a nice mall or office might get you side-eyes. In the north, people might use 'Kin' more naturally even in polite settings, but 'Thaan' is still recognized as the 'polite central' standard. Many Thai-Chinese families use 'Thaan' to show they are 'refined' and well-integrated into Thai polite society. In Isan, 'Kin' is the dominant word. 'Thaan' is often reserved for talking to officials or people from Bangkok.
The 'Khaao' Rule
Always add 'Khaao' after 'Thaan' if you aren't specifying the food. Just saying 'Thaan' sounds incomplete.
Don't be too stiff
If your Thai friends are all saying 'Kin', and you keep saying 'Thaan', you might seem like you're trying to act superior. Follow the group's lead.
