How to use it

อินเดียin-dia is India and Indian: คนอินเดียkon in-dia, อาหารอินเดียaa-hǎan in-dia. Thai culture owes India a great deal, from Buddhism and the Ramakien epic, รามเกียรติ์raam-má-gian, to thousands of words from Sanskrit and Pali.

Older Thais may call Indians แขกkàek, "guest"; it can sound disrespectful, so say คนอินเดียkon in-dia.
