Questions & Answers about เรา ไป โฮมสเตย์ วันหลัง ดีกว่า ครับ

The current lesson is about อื่น (other), so why does this sentence use วันหลัง instead of วันอื่น for 'another day'?
While วันอื่น means 'another day' in the sense of 'a different day', วันหลัง literally means 'day after' or 'later day'. When Thais want to postpone plans to 'some other time' or 'next time', วันหลัง is the most natural and commonly used phrase, which is why it replaces the standard อื่น here.
How does ดีกว่า work as a grammar pattern at the end of the sentence?
You likely know ดีกว่า as the comparative 'better'. However, when placed at the end of a proposed action, it translates to 'had better' or 'it would be better to'. It is a very common way to soften a suggestion or state a preference for an alternative plan.
Why is the time phrase วันหลัง placed after the destination โฮมสเตย์ rather than at the start of the sentence?
Time words in Thai can go at the beginning or end of a clause. In this sentence, placing วันหลัง (later) right next to ดีกว่า (better) highlights the contrast between the current plan and the new suggestion: it emphasizes that going 'later' is what is 'better'.
Is โฮมสเตย์ just the English word 'homestay'?
Yes, it is a direct phonetic loanword. Culturally, it is useful to know that a Thai โฮมสเตย์ specifically refers to rural, community-based tourism where visitors stay with local families, which is a very popular way to travel domestically in Thailand.
