Badminton Competition

Join Daisy, Yim and Tim for a lively game of badminton in this fun Thai story! Dad buys everyone a new badminton racket, and the children cross the road to play with A, the boy from the house opposite, who has won lots of badminton trophies. But the game ends much sooner than Dad expects. Find out how each child comes ‘first place’, and why everyone has to stop playing so soon! Along the way, you’ll learn useful Thai vocabulary about sports, homes and neighbours while listening to natural Thai.

Thai Vocabulary:
ไม้แบด (mái bɛ̀t) – Badminton racket
ลูกแบด (lûuk bɛ̀t) – Shuttlecock
ถ้วยรางวัล (tûay raang-wan) – Trophy
บ้านตรงข้าม (bâan trong kâam) – The house opposite
ค้าง (káang) – Stuck (e.g. in a tree)

Learning Thai through stories helps you understand vocabulary in context and remember it more naturally. Keep listening, keep learning, and enjoy your Thai journey with every story!

Do Not Give Up on the Jigsaw Puzzle

On a Saturday afternoon, a parcel arrives with a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle ordered online. Follow the whole family as they find the corners, sort the edges, group pieces by colour, and refuse to stop until the puzzle is finished, even if that means eating lunch, snacks and dinner at the table! Along the way, you’ll hear how to tell the time in Thai and how to describe doing two things at once. Thai Vocabulary: ต่อจิ๊กซอว์ (tɔ̀ɔ jík-sɔɔ) – To do a jigsaw puzzle พัสดุ (phát-sà-dù) – Parcel ไม่ยอมแพ้ (mâi yɔɔm phɛ́ɛ) – Don’t give up ขี้เกียจ (khîi-gìat) – Lazy
