How to Say “Get well soon” in Thai
ขอให้หายเร็วๆ
khɔ̌ɔ-hây hǎay rew-rew
Get well soon
นะ (ná) turns this into a gentle request rather than an order — and after นะ (ná), women say คะ (khá) (high tone), not the plain ค่ะ (khâ).
Word by word
When to use it
Used to wish someone who is unwell a speedy recovery. You can also say ขอให้หายไวๆ (khɔ̌ɔ-hây hǎay way-way), which conveys the exact same meaning. Add the particle นะ (ná) at the end for a warmer tone. For a more casual tone with friends or family, simply drop ขอให้ (khɔ̌ɔ-hây), leaving you with หายเร็วๆ นะ (hǎay rew-rew ná) or หายไวๆ นะ (hǎay way-way ná).

There is no single standard for writing Thai in the Roman alphabet — phrasebooks, road signs, and tourist guides each follow a different system, and many just invent their own spellings. The romanization on this page uses a consistent IPA-based system that marks all five tones and distinguishes short from long vowels. The same word always gets the same spelling.
