ra tri sa wad kaa

As Beer said, ra tri sa wad = good night.
kaa = an honorific particle used by a woman

The phrase above might be translated as "Good night, dear".

I have to disagree with the above. KA(r) is not an honorific particle. Ka(f) & Krab(r) were invented to make the Thai language sound more refined. It does not mean "dear" at all.

Sorry, everyone.

What do you mean they were invented? Was there a meeting with a bunch of people sitting around saying, "You know, I think our language sounds a little rough. We need some new words to spruce it up a little, you know, make it sound more refined".

Agent,

I wish I could tell you how, when and who invented those words.

But, Yes, indeed many words were added to the original Thai language to make it more refined. ie.
ผม to be used instead of กู ,
คุณ to be used instead of มิง
& etc.

These new words did not exist in the old Thai language.

I hope this explain my point.
