To doubt = “สงสัย” (sǒng sǎi) 
True = “จริง” (jing)

In English, if you say “I doubt it’s true”, it means you don’t believe it but in Thai if you say “สงสัยจริง” (sǒng sǎi jing), it means you think it’s true! Interesting, isn’t it? (^3^) This is because the word “สงสัย” (sǒng sǎi) has two meanings “to doubt” and “to suspect.” So “สงสัยจริง” (sǒng sǎi jing) means “It seems to be true” or “I suspect that it’s true.”
