意思
Being unfaithful to a partner.
文化背景
The concept of 'Mia Noi' (minor wife) is a historical cultural phenomenon in Thailand. While illegal now, it still appears frequently in Thai media and 'Lakorns', making 'นอกใจ' a very common word in entertainment. Thais often use the term 'มือที่สาม' (the third hand) to refer to the person someone is cheating with. Infidelity is considered a violation of the Third Precept (refraining from sexual misconduct), which adds a layer of moral/religious guilt to the term 'นอกใจ'.
Context is King
Never use this word in a business meeting to mean 'dishonesty'. It will sound like you are accusing someone of a romantic affair.
The 'Jai' Family
Learning 'Nook-jai' is a gateway to 500+ other Thai words. If you see 'Jai' at the end of a word, it's almost always about an emotion.
