It is possible, while you are in Thailand, you might visit a Thai family. On this page I have prepared for you some useful vocabulary about family members. It might seem confusing to you at first as we have more than one word for uncle/aunt and grandfather/grandmother. We have one word for people on our father's side and another for our mother's side. The word also tells you whether they are older or younger than your parents.

If you have ever been to Thailand you might have heard the words "pee" and "nong" being used. These mean "older" and "younger". My brother is younger than me so he calls me "Pee Gor". If you don't know, Gor is my nickname. I would then call him "Nong Guy". My mother is younger than my father so she calls him "Pee Goong". But, he doesn't call her "nong", he just uses her first name. Actually, I don't often say "Nong Guy". More often I would say "Guy". But, younger people will always address an older person as "pee".
