"How much / How many: The word "thaorai" is used if you don't know the exact value or it is an unspecified mass, like the "how much" in english. Opposite is "gii (...)" but it can only be used with an additional follower.
Example: Khun(you) ayu(age) gii(how many) bpii(years) mai(question)? = How many years old you are? The "gii" cannot stand alone. This would refer to the english use of "how many".
Basic form to say thank you.
Addition: If you want to express special thanks you can add the word "maag" (very much) into the sentence: Khop khun maag khap/kaa.
