Hello Ploy! You look in such a good mood today.
Hello Nat! Yes, I'm very happy today, but yesterday I had a very exciting situation.
What happened? What exciting thing did you do, Ploy?
Yesterday I went shopping at the supermarket. When I got to checkout, I was so shocked!
What happened? Were the groceries too expensive?
No! I forgot my wallet!
Oh no! Forgot wallet at checkout? That's a huge problem!
Yes! Today we are going to chat about this, about forgetting your wallet at checkout.
Awesome! Today's topic is so fun and super useful for Thai learners.
Today we have six important phrases for everyone, especially our hero phrase: forgot wallet.
Besides that, we also have fun stories and Thai payment culture to share with you.
And we also have useful phrases like excuse me and how to pay.
Are you ready? If you're ready, let's listen together!
Nat, do you know what happened when I was paying yesterday?
Tell me about it Ploy, I really want to know now.
Yesterday after work, I walked to buy stuff at a big store near my house.
And what did you pick out to buy, Ploy?
I picked out sweets, fresh fruit, and drinks, filling up the basket.
Everything sounds so delicious!
Yes! When I walked to the counter, the cashier said the total was four hundred baht.
Four hundred baht is a normal, reasonable price.
Yes, but when I opened my bag and reached inside, I was shocked because I forgot my wallet!
Haha! Where did you leave your wallet, Ploy?
I left my wallet on my work desk at home. At that moment I was so embarrassed!
And what about the people queuing behind you to pay?
There was a long queue! So I quickly turned around and said excuse me.
Was the cashier nice? How did they react?
The cashier smiled politely and said it's okay, stay calm.
Most Thai people are very kind and considerate! So what did you do next?
So I pulled out my phone and asked the cashier: Can I scan to pay?
Ah! Scanning QR code via mobile banking app, right?
Exactly! The cashier pointed to the QR code, so I scanned and paid immediately!
I heard that nowadays in Thailand almost every store has QR code for payment, super convenient.
True! Even street food carts can scan to pay easily.
The scan payment system saved your life on the day you forgot your wallet!
Yes! If I couldn't scan to pay, I would have had to ask to hold my items and run home.
Asking to hold items first is also a good solution when you forget your wallet.
Ploy's story was so fun! Now let's explain the six phrases clearly for everyone.
Our first phrase is our hero phrase: forgot wallet.
The phrase forgot wallet means forgetting to bring your wallet with you.
The second phrase is excuse me / sorry. It means apologizing politely and friendly.
When making minor small mistakes, you can say excuse me / sorry.
The third phrase is how to pay. This means asking about payment methods.
If you want to know how a store accepts money, ask how to pay.
The fourth phrase is can I scan to pay? Used to ask if mobile payment works.
If you have phone but forgot wallet, ask can I scan to pay.
The fifth phrase is hold items first. This means asking to leave goods at store temporarily.
And the sixth phrase is can't find. This means tried looking but couldn't find.
If you search your bag and can't find it, say can't find.
And Ploy, do you prefer carrying cash or scanning via phone more?
I'm on Team Ploy! I prefer carrying cash because it feels safe and reassuring.
As for me, I'm on Team Nat! I prefer scanning because I don't need to carry a wallet.
And Nat, do you want to guess what percentage of Thais scan to pay?
I read that Thais love scanning, I guess seventy percent!
Almost right! I read that in big cities scan usage goes up to eighty percent!
Up to eighty percent! Truly matches the cashless era.
So let me ask Nat another question: if people forget wallet, what do most people do?
I guess fifty percent will cancel their purchase!
I heard only twenty percent cancel! Another eighty percent find a way to scan pay!
Because everyone wants the items they chose!
Now it's time for our practical quiz section!
Super ready Ploy! I will try my best to answer every question.
Question one: Nat walks to counter and realizes no wallet. What do you say?
I will say immediately: Excuse me, I forgot my wallet!
Correct! Question two: Nat wants to know payment method. How do you ask cashier?
I will ask politely: Excuse me, how to pay at this store?
Very good! Question three: Nat has no cash, only phone. How do you ask about scanning?
I will ask right away: Excuse me, can I scan to pay here?
Great! Question four: Nat needs to go get money at car. How do you ask cashier to hold items?
I will tell cashier: Can I hold items first? I'll come back soon!
Very clear answer! Question five: Nat searches pants pocket and can't find car key. What do you say?
I will tell friend: Oh no, I can't find my key!
Awesome! Question six: Nat accidentally bumps into someone at store. How do you apologize?
I will quickly say: Excuse me, I didn't mean to!
Question seven: Nat buys street food and wants to use QR code. How do you ask seller?
I will ask vendor: Vendor sir, can I scan to pay here?
Question eight: Nat grabbed wrong bag and feels no wallet. What do you exclaim?
I will be shocked and shout: Oh gosh, I forgot my wallet!
Question nine: Nat rides taxi and wants to know payment method. How do you ask driver?
I will ask taxi driver: Driver sir, how should I pay for this ride?
Question ten: Nat wants to place food bag at counter briefly. What do you say?
I will say: Can I hold items first just for a moment?
Question eleven: Nat searches glasses in car and doesn't find them. What do you tell friend?
I will tell friend: So strange, I can't find it!
Question twelve: Nat spills water on friend's table. How do you quickly apologize to friend?
