Learning notes
Explanation
Here, คิด means “calculate,” and ตังค์ is an informal word for money. The expression normally describes the seller calculating or charging an amount. Said by a customer to a server, it becomes a request for the bill.
Usage
It is common at casual restaurants, food stalls, and shops, both when asking for the bill and when discussing whether something costs money.
Caution
Use จ่ายเงิน for paying money yourself. คิดตังค์ refers to calculating or charging the amount due, rather than making the payment.
