to transfer (money) verb

How to use it
Thais pay for almost everything by transferring money in a banking app: rent, a friend's share of dinner, a market stall's QR code. After paying you show the confirmation slip, สลิปsà-líp, and in chats people send โอนแล้วoon láew, "transferred", with a screenshot of it. The full phrase is โอนเงินoon ngoen, to transfer money.
