Grammar focus

I want to talk about the phrase 'หลังจากนั้น' (Lǎng-jàak-nán), which means 'after that.' It’s super useful for connecting ideas when you’re sharing plans or telling a story. For example:

'หลังจากนั้น เราจะลองไปกรุงเทพ' – After that, we will try to go to Bangkok.

You can use 'หลังจากนั้น' to smoothly transition between different events when talking about what happens next.

Examples:

เราไปดูหนังกัน หลังจากนั้นไปกินข้าว
Rao bpai duu nǎng gan, lǎng-jàak-nán bpai gin khâao.
We went to watch a movie together, and after that, we went to eat.

เขาทำการบ้านเสร็จ หลังจากนั้นเขาพักผ่อน
Khao tam gaan-bâan sèt, lǎng-jàak-nán khao phák-pòn.
He finished his homework, and after that, he relaxed.

พวกเราจะไปเที่ยวทะเล หลังจากนั้นจะกลับบ้าน
Phûak-rao jà bpai thîaw thá-lay, lǎng-jàak-nán jà glàp bâan.
We’re going to the beach, and after that, we will go home.

ฉันต้องประชุมงาน หลังจากนั้นจะไปเจอเพื่อน
Chán dtông bpra-chum ngaan, lǎng-jàak-nán jà bpai jooe phûean.
I have a work meeting, and after that, I will meet my friend.
