How to use it

นอกจากนี้nâwk-jàak níi, "apart from this", adds another point: "moreover, in addition". The rest of the sentence often has ยังyang or ด้วยdûay for "also". นอกจากนั้นnâwk-jàak nán, "apart from that", is the same.

In conversation Thais say แล้วก็láew gâw, "and also", or อีกอย่างìik yàang, "another thing": อีกอย่างมันแพงìik yàang man paeng, and besides, it's expensive.
