Food and drink ไวน์ waai
wine noun
- waai mid
- Mid: level, in your normal speaking voice.
How to use it
Said like the English, with the final letter silent: waai. Red wine is ไวน์แดงwaai daeng and white wine ไวน์ขาวwaai kǎao. Imported wine carries heavy taxes, so even a simple bottle costs far more than in Europe. Thailand makes some wine of its own, in the hills of Khao Yai and near Hua Hin.
