Direction: tit-taang

Someone lost the way? Let's improve your Thai words about the direction!

liao saai (Turn left)
liao kwaa (Turn right)
dtrong bpai (Go straight)
bpai rueai rueai (Keep going)
jort tee-nee (Stop here.)
jort loei see yaek (Stop after intersection)
jort gawhn see yaek (Stop before intersection)
san-yaan fai ja-raa-jorn (Traffic light) or "fai daeng" (Red light)
glap rot (U-turn), but we can speak U-turn (be sure speak it like Thai accent
that is u-toen)
"jort fang saai" or "jort saai muue" (Stop by the left side)
"jort fang kwaa" or jort kwaa muue" (Stop by the right side)

PS: "jort" means stop that used with only vehicles. We say "yut" when we talk other things.
Ex: yut puut (Stop speaking)
yut rian (Stop studying)
yut len (Stop playing)
