Basically greeting in Thai language
Thai people really love and feel good with foreigner who can greet in Thai (and I believe other host in every country love this too!)
Just say 'Sa-was-dee-ka' (for woman) or 'Sa-was-dee-krab' (for man)
So you will see a smile on their faces when you say this word.
Another useful word is 'Kob-Khun-Ka' (for woman) or 'Kob-Khun-Krub' - (for gentleman) which means THANK YOU. They will be surprised if you can say this word as well.
