Depends on how much English the person knows. Usually younger thai people know more English. Sometimes they will, but if they look a little confused or they’re just smiling they might be having trouble to understand you. It’s best to try and speak the language to the best of your ability.

Please do try. We Thais really appreciate it when foreigners try to speak Thai even though it may or may not understandable. Good listeners (not everyone) will try to listen and help you their best. Believe me, you already won their hearts just trying.
