Explanation

กระเป๋ากางเกง is made from กระเป๋า, meaning bag, pouch, or pocket, and กางเกง, meaning pants or trousers. Since กระเป๋า alone can also mean a bag, กระเป๋ากางเกง is the clearer word when you specifically mean a pants pocket.

Usage

Use this in everyday situations involving clothes, belongings, laundry, lost items, or theft. It is natural when talking about putting keys, money, or a phone in a pants pocket, or when a pocket is torn or something is sticking out of it.

Caution

Do not assume that a borrowed word for “pocket” is the normal choice in Thai. In ordinary Thai, use กระเป๋า when the context is clear, and กระเป๋ากางเกง when you specifically mean a pants pocket. For a shirt or jacket pocket, use กระเป๋าเสื้อ.
