[วันสำเร็จการศึกษาสำหรับคนไทยถือเป็นวันสำคัญมาก - wan săm-rèt gaan sùek-săa săm-ràp khon thai thǔue bpen wan săm-khan mâak] - “Graduation Day for Thailand is a very important day”. So you find that the graduate actually wake up at like 4 AM in the morning to get the makeup and hairs done to look the best on their graduation day. That’s how important it is for Thai university students and graduates. |
| [ได้งาน - dâai ngaan] “to get a job”. [เขาเรียนจบปุ๊ปก็ได้งานทันที - khăo riian jòp bpúp gâaw dâai ngaan than-thii] - “He got a job as soon as he graduated”, what a lucky guy! |
