Bought too much !
Shopping is really fun ! But be careful not to buy too much ! :D When you bought too much more than you expected, let's say like this in Thai language.
meaning	Thai Language (Green:stress / Blue:male / Pink:female)
I bought a little too much today.	wan-nii pom/dichan suekhong mark pai noi krab/ka วันนี้ ผม/ดิฉัน ซื้อของ มาก ไป หน่อย ครับ/ค่ะ
"do something too much " can be said " mark pai " in Thai. " Suekhong " is "buy" or "shopping", and "noi" is "a little". So, "Suekhong mark pai noi" means "bought a little too much".  do something too much This expression "mark pai" (do something too much) is very useful. You can say other similar phrases with this; "eat too much" is "gin mark pai"("gin" is "eat") putting "gin" instead of "suekhong". Likewise, "drink too much" is "deuum mark pai" ("deuum" is "drink"). wan-nii: today suekhong: buy "Shopping" can be used instead of "suekhong" in Thai. mark: very pai: go noi: a little
