So so	ngan ngan na งั้นงั้น น่ะ
There are two ways to say "so so". The first one "ruay ruay": for condition or situation such as body conditions. The second "ngan ngan": for things such as how the taste is about food. For example: How's business ?: "Ruay ruay krab/ka" (So so.) How's this dress ?: "Ngan ngan na" (So so.) Note: "Ngan nga" is only for close relationships. "Ngan ngan" is only for close relationships such as between friends. Remember that it will be rude if you say that to older people.

Kidding, and Others
Other phrases of Thai language. The first one is, when you are telling something to someone, you might want to make a little fun of him/her and say some joke that sounds true but actually not, in that case, you will say "Just kidding !" or "noooo" after the joke;
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
Just kidding !	laaw len ล้อ เล่น
...., no (just kidding)	sa-mua-rai ซะเมื่อไหร่
I don't know very well, though, but there seems a little difference between those two phrases above. "Sa-mua-rai" is more casual than "Laaw Len". About "Sa-mua-rai", you can use like this below; "...... khun suay chan krab (you are beautiful),... sa-muarai" This can be used only in a real close relationship ! I don't know what would happen if you used it. :D When you want to say " nothing " against being asked " What's wrong ? "
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
Nothing.	mai-mee arai krab/ka ไม่มีอะไร ครับ/ค่ะ
