Greeting for someone's birthday.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Many Thais celebrate by going to the temple to 'Tham Bun' (make merit) and release birds or fish for good luck. Younger generations heavily use English loanwords and acronyms like 'HBD' in digital communication. It is common for the 'birthday person' to treat their colleagues to lunch or snacks, rather than the colleagues paying for the birthday person. The day of the week you are born (Monday-Sunday) is often more important than the date itself for astrological purposes.
Add 'Na'
Adding 'na' (สุขสันต์วันเกิดนะ) makes you sound much more like a native speaker and less like a textbook.
Tone Matters
If you say 'koet' with a high tone, it might sound like another word. Keep it low!
