How to use it
ที่พักtîi-pák, "place to stay", covers hotels, guesthouses, hostels, resorts and homestays, so it's the word of booking sites and tourist signs. A hotel is a โรงแรมroong-raem, a room to stay in a ห้องพักhâwng-pák, and the cost of the stay ค่าที่พักkâa tîi-pák. Over long weekends and Songkran, book early: Thais travel too.
