หน้าด้าน

Explanation

The word combines หน้า (“face”) with ด้าน (“hardened” or “numb”), evoking a face so thick-skinned that it feels no shame. It strongly condemns a person’s character or behavior. Although classified as an adjective, it can also describe how someone performs an action, much like “shamelessly” in English.

Usage

Used to criticize someone who repeatedly makes unreasonable demands, shows no remorse, tells blatant lies, or remains unmoved by justified criticism. It may be said about a third party or directly to someone during a heated confrontation.

Caution

This is a strongly insulting term and can easily provoke conflict when said directly to someone. Avoid it in formal or respectful settings. It does not positively mean “bold” or “confident”; use กล้า or มั่นใจ for those ideas.
