Explanation

The word is built from กระเป๋า “bag,” สะพาย “to carry with a strap,” and ข้าง “side.” The usual classifier for bags is ใบ, as in กระเป๋าสะพายข้างหนึ่งใบ, “one shoulder bag.” It can be used for bags for any gender and covers small everyday bags as well as messenger-bag-like styles.

Usage

This word is common when describing outfits and belongings, shopping for bags, or talking about what someone carries for commuting, school, or travel. Colors and materials can be added after it, such as กระเป๋าสะพายข้างสีดำ, “a black shoulder bag.”

Caution

For a backpack, use กระเป๋าเป้ or กระเป๋าสะพายหลัง. For a bag carried by hand, กระเป๋าถือ is more natural.
