One of the biggest common mistakes that nearly every male Thai learner makes is to pronounce “ครับ” [kráp] with a low tone or any other tone but a high tone, especially when it’s not in a question but in a statement. Remember to ALWAYS pronounce it with a “high” tone, even when it’s not a question. This is one of the easiest things you can change right now, to sound more like a Thai person!
