Learning notes
Explanation
ต่อคน is made from ต่อ, meaning “per” or “for each,” and คน, meaning “person.” The core idea is calculating something with one person as the unit. It usually follows a number, price, quantity, or limit, as in 100 บาทต่อคน, “100 baht per person.”
Usage
It is common in restaurant menus, hotel and tour prices, admission fees, booking pages, campaign rules, and statistics when amounts are shown by person.
Caution
Do not use it just to mean “to a person” or “toward people.” For everyday distribution, such as “one each,” คนละ may sound more natural.
