Hi everyone!! It’s Timpika and you’re listening to Thai T la nid podcast EP 5!! As you know it’s the hottest time of the year in Thailand right now. It’s burning hot and many times, I have to say “ร้อนมากกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ล้านตัว” (slang).

Alright, some of you might know “ร้อนมาก”  already ร้อน means hot and มาก means very so ร้อนมาก means very hot.

And when you want to emphasize an adjective or adverb even more you can pronounce the word “มาก” longer (The longer the more emphasis). For example ร้อนมากกกกกกกก. Just like that.

But that’s not enough. When it’s a very very great degree. We can add the expression “ก.ไก่ล้านตัว” "gor-gài láan dtuua" or with a million of “ก”.

ก.ไก่ is the letter “ก” which is the final consonant of the word “มาก”
ล้าน = million 
ตัว = the classifier for letters, consonants, vowels, numbers, characters 

So when we say ร้อนมากกกกกก แบบ ก.ไก่ล้านตัว, it means the weather is sooooooo hottttttt! With a million of “t”

More examples on using ก.ไก่ล้านตัว
1. สงกรานต์ที่เมืองไทยสนุกมากกกกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ ล้านตัว
2.  ส้มตำร้านนี้อร่อยมากกกกกก แบบก.ไก่ล้านตัว

Well, I hope you enjoy this episode of Thai T la nid podcast. Let me know and share the link to your friends who are learning Thai if you find this is helpful. Thank you so much. See you in the next episode. Bye-bye 😊

In many of the world's richer countries, young adults feel they can't afford to start a family. They also see the idea of buying a house as an impossible dream.

So, they're going on holiday instead!

And Elizabeth Currid-Halkett from the University of Southern California told CNN that young people are happy to take on some debt to go on a trip.

That's because it feels like a very small amount of debt compared to the cost of college or a house.

In fact, a May 2024 survey by US money website WalletHub found that two out of five Americans agree: they think it's worth going into debt to be able to have a good vacation.

Some call it "doom spending" — spending money on short-term pleasure, not saving it for something bigger in the future.

People point to the fact that house prices have increased much faster than wages, and so young adults today feel that saving for a home isn't realistic.

They feel the money would be better spent on a nice vacation.

There are also airlines that let customers book a flight but pay for it later, something that may appeal to these younger travelers.

However, experts say doom spending is a risky way to use your money, especially if it becomes a habit.

Money expert Louise Hill told Sky News that spending on short-term pleasure also makes it even harder to save for big things in life like a house or a family.

She said: "By the time you've saved enough for it, think about whether you still really want it."
