How to use it
ที่นั่งtîi-nâng, a "place to sit", is a seat on a bus, a train or a plane, at the cinema or in a restaurant. A window seat is ริมหน้าต่างrim nâa-dtàang and an aisle seat ริมทางเดินrim taang-doen.
On the skytrain and on buses some seats are marked for monks, older people, pregnant women and children: offer yours when they need it. Women don't sit right next to a monk.
