ไลน์ lai
LINE (the messaging app everyone in Thailand uses) name
- lai mid
- Mid: level, in your normal speaking voice.
How to use it
LINE is Thailand's chat app: friends, families, landlords, schools and even government offices use it, and many shops take orders through their LINE account. Swapping LINE contacts has replaced swapping numbers: ขอไลน์หน่อยkǎw lai nàwy is "can I have your LINE?", and ไลน์lai also works as a verb, to message someone. Stickers are half of every conversation.
