Explanation
For a person or animal, ลำตัว refers mainly to the central part of the body, excluding the head and limbs. It can also describe the long main body of animals such as fish and snakes. The same word can refer to an aircraft's main central body, excluding its wings and tail. Common combinations include ลำตัวเครื่องบิน (“aircraft fuselage”) and บิดลำตัว (“twist the torso”).
Usage
Used when describing the location of an injury or pain, body movement during exercise, or an animal's shape. It is also used for the fuselage in discussions of aircraft structure and maintenance.
Caution
Unlike ร่างกาย, which refers to the entire body, ลำตัว is limited to the central body or trunk. For the trunk of a tree, use ลำต้น rather than ลำตัว.
