A2 Expression 正式

ขอโทษที่รบกวน

ขอโทษทรบกวน

Sorry to bother you

意思

Polite way to interrupt or ask for help

🌍

文化背景

The phrase is deeply tied to 'Kreng Jai'. Even if you have a right to be there (like a customer in a shop), using this phrase makes the interaction smoother. In meetings, junior staff will often use this before offering a dissenting opinion to avoid appearing aggressive. On the Line app, stickers featuring characters bowing and saying this phrase are among the most popular for work-related chats. In villages, people might use 'รบกวนหน่อยนะ' more often as it feels more neighborly and less like a formal apology.

🎯

The 'Wai' Combo

When saying this to an elder, perform a small 'Wai' (hands together) to double your politeness points.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

If you say it every 5 minutes to the same person, it starts to sound insincere or annoying.

💬

Smile!

Thailand is the Land of Smiles. A polite phrase without a smile can feel cold or robotic.

💡

Add 'Vela'

Adding 'Vela' (time) makes the apology feel more specific and respectful of their schedule.

Yes, it is highly recommended. It shows you respect their authority and time.

Only with close friends or colleagues. For others, use the full 'Kho thot thi rop kuan'.

That means 'It's okay.' You can proceed with your question or request.

Only in very formal writing or if you are speaking to someone of very high status.

Yes, it's a great way to start an email asking for a favor.

Yes, in the context of interrupting. But for 'Excuse me, let me pass,' use 'Khor thang noi' (May I have some way).

The phrase itself isn't, but the particles 'khrap' and 'kha' at the end are.

Technically yes, but it will sound very sarcastic.

Say 'ขอโทษที่รบกวนอีกครั้งนะครับ' (Kho thot thi rop kuan eek krang na khrap).

Extremely. You'll hear it in almost every Thai drama (Lakorn).
