We've welcomed a new member to Team LTBL! From the first time we met Mimi and told her our newly-acquired favorite Thai slang "dai yu", she was excited to teach us even more Thai slang. And we obviously needed to share these essential phrases with...everyone we know. So we're bringing you 10 (+1!) Thai slang phrases to level up your language game, finding out what English slang made the least sense to Mimi the first time she heard it, and so much more.
