For Muay Thai fighters, as same as for Thai people, incantation was or has been a part of their belief. They used to have hidden faith in the supernatural art of prayer. So now you can tell what our article is about today. If you want to learn Muay Thai, this is another thing that you can’t miss. To be a Muay Thai fighter, you have to think as a Muay Thai fighter or at least understand what he thinks.

Lots of Muay Thai fighters or trainers studied the subject matter, believing that incantations would give them miraculous strengths to conquer their opponents without difficulty and give them stamina and invincibility, shielding them from all people and things.

Many who have studied this art believed that an incantation uttered before or during a fight had the supremacy to keep them from being knocked out, as a mouthful of air would instantaneously bring back their consciousness.

Incantations or in Thai called “Kartar Arkom” were not only part of a rich oral tradition but also were in due course printed for reference. Many incantations books can still be found if you really looking for or they can be passed hand to hand from generation to generation.

I want to give you an example here. One prayer called “Gam Pan Nak Muen” is believed to give the fighter the conviction of winning with just a single punch. “Gam Pan Nak Muen” literally means “Thousand Kilograms Fist”. In the past, many Muay Thai fighters had these tattoos on the back of their hands which incorporated the power of this said spell.

You can still find incantations nowadays, for instance, that said blowing wind before a fight. Basically it really give the fighters confidence and urge to win overcome their opponents. Believe it or not, many times it works! Without incantation from sacred teacher or trainers might decrease their confidence and they might lose the game. They in fact stuck in this belief already!

Hi guys! Are you ready for our Thai lesson today? Today’s dialog is how to ask a basic question “Who is she?” Basically you can use this everywhere, for example, you go to your friend’s party and you spot this beautiful girl and you wanna ask your friend who she is or maybe this beautiful girl is a star because people are taking pictures of her.

Let’s take a look at our dialog and then I’ll tell you what each sentence means and then a list of crucial vocabularies from this dialog. Let’s get started, shall we?

Pu Ying Kon Nun Klai? - Who is she?
Kon Nai? - Which one?
Kon Tee Suay Suay Ngai - The one that is so beautiful.
Ar…Peoan Chan/Pom Eng - Ar…she’s my friend.

Alright, that wasn’t too hard I suppose. Now I’ll break it down for you. There are many new words you need to know in this dialog. But remember you don’t need to memorize all the new word this time. Try to focus on the phrases and how to say them above.

Pu Ying = girl, woman
Kon = person, human
Nun = that
Klai = who
Nai = which, where
Suay = beautiful (we say it twice to indicate that she is really beautiful)
Peoan = friend

You might still remember that Chan and Pom is “I” for a woman or a man. Here I said Peoan Chan or Peoan Pom which mean my friend. So you can see that when Chan and Pom are following a noun, here is Peoan, they will become possessive pronoun “my”.

Ok I don’t want to take much about grammar. The most important is how to use it. But you can always comment and tell us what you want to learn here, we can change our way of lesson anytime if that would suit your need. Alright it’s time for us to leave. We’ll be back again for another lesson next week. See you then right here at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog!

It’s time for Speak of Thai. We are here to teach you how to speak Thai in the easiest way. The lesson we put here are so simple and easy to follow. We’re talking about tiredness today. Maybe after you work out or train for a long time and you’re really tired, how can you express that? How do you say it correctly in Thai?

Let’s set out a situation here. Let’s say you’re been training all day and your gang comes to ask you out with them. And you don’t want to go because you are too tired, so you tell them so. Here’s how you can say it.

The key word here is “tired”. In Thai we call it “Nueay”. Ok….it might sound weird and hard to pronounce. Just go “Nue-Ay” faster and faster until you can say it in one word. Practice make perfect…that’s so true here in this situation.

Ok let’s not waste time! Memorize and practice it as many times as you can.
John: Hey let’s go find something to eat! = “Pai-Ha-Arai-Kin-Kan”
Rick: No. I’m really tired today. = “Mai-la Wan-Nee-Nueay-Mak”

Let me break it down for you.
Pai = to go
Ha = to find
Arai = what, something
Kin = to eat
Kan = let’s…
Mai = No
Wan Nee = today
NUEAY = to be tired
Mak = lots, really, truly
