There are 2 ways to say Hair in Thai. The words are ผม pŏm and ขน kŏn. Do you know what the difference is?
ผม pŏm
ผม is when you are talking about the hair on your head.
For example:
- hair cut

pŏm kŏng kun rîap
ขน kŏn
ขน is when you are talking about the hair NOT on your head. For example, the hair on your leg or the hair on your arm.
It is also what you call the hair / fur on animals.
For example:
