Questions & Answers about พวก ไฮโซ ซื้อ ซูเปอร์คาร์ ใหม่ อะไร จะ รวย ขนาดนั้น คะ
How exactly does the frame อะไรจะ... ขนาดนั้น give us "How can they be so rich!"?
This is a rhetorical exclamation pattern. Literally, อะไรจะรวยขนาดนั้น asks "What would be rich to that extent?" But in actual usage, it expresses astonishment at the degree of something. You place the adjective you are emphasizing—in this case, รวย (rich)—right in the middle. It effectively means "How can [subject] be so [adjective]!"
Why does the sentence end with the question particle คะ if it translates to an exclamation?
Even though it is spoken as an exclamation of surprise, the grammatical structure relies on the question word อะไร (what). In Thai, rhetorical exclamations containing question words still typically take the high-tone question particle คะ rather than the falling-tone statement particle ค่ะ.
I recognize ไฮโซ sounds like "high society." Is this widely used in daily Thai?
Yes, ไฮโซ (hi-so) is extremely common in everyday Thai. It functions as both a noun for wealthy, upper-class elites and as an adjective to describe something fancy, expensive, or luxurious. Adding พวก (group) in front of it simply means "those high-society folks."
Do I need to include a pronoun like "they" before อะไรจะรวยขนาดนั้น?
No, it is highly natural to drop the pronoun here. Because the first half of the sentence establishes พวกไฮโซ as the topic, the second half (the exclamation) just jumps straight into the อะไรจะ... frame. The subject is perfectly understood from the context of the first clause.
