Explanation
This noun phrase consists of ทาง “way, road, or direction” and ไป “to go,” giving the basic image of “the way to go.” The common pattern is ทางไป + destination, as in ทางไปสนามบิน, “the way to the airport.” Depending on context, it may refer to the actual road, the direction to take, or the way to reach the destination. It is best understood as a regularly formed phrase rather than a completely fixed compound word.
Usage
Commonly used when asking for directions, pointing out a road leading somewhere, or explaining which way to take on a map or sign.
Caution
For the outbound part of a round trip, ขาไป is usually more natural than ทางไป. When referring to a defined travel route or itinerary, เส้นทาง is often the better choice.
