Bedeutung
Completing school assignments.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Thai students often stay late at school or go to tutoring centers (Rian Phiset) to do their homework together. It is a social activity as much as an academic one. In Thai corporate culture, 'doing your homework' on a senior executive's background before a meeting is seen as a sign of 'Kreng Jai' (consideration/respect). On Thai social media, 'sending homework' (ส่งการบ้าน) is slang for posting proof of a trade or a successful project implementation. Parents in Thailand are often very involved in their children's homework, sometimes leading to the joke that the parents are the ones actually 'doing the homework.'
The 'Kan' vs 'Ngan' Rule
Always use 'Kan' for school assignments and 'Ngan' for house chores. This is the #1 way to sound like a native.
Don't forget the tone
The falling tone on 'Ban' is crucial. If you say it with a mid tone, it might sound like 'thin' or 'cymbals' in some contexts.

Use it in Business
Don't be afraid to use this in a Thai office. Saying 'I've done my homework' (ทำการบ้านมาแล้ว) makes you look very diligent.
The 'Copying' Culture
While not encouraged, 'Lok Kan Ban' (copying homework) is a common social bond in Thai schools. Knowing the term helps you understand student humor.
