The Power Went Out

In this Easy Thai lesson, a hot day at home turns into a power cut! With the lights, TV, fan and air conditioner all running at once, the electricity suddenly goes off. Follow along as the neighbours are asked whether their power is out too, the circuit breaker is checked, and an electrician is called to find out what went wrong. The cause turns out to be a very relatable mistake!

Along the way, you’ll hear practical Thai for household appliances, politely asking neighbours questions, and dealing with everyday problems at home.
