Explanation

ขาไป is made from ขา, meaning a leg or side of a journey, and ไป, “to go.” In this expression, ขา does not mean a body part; it marks a direction or segment of travel. Its opposite is ขากลับ, the return leg. It commonly follows nouns, as in ตั๋วขาไป “outbound ticket” and เที่ยวบินขาไป “outbound flight.”

Usage

It is common in travel planning, commuting, ticket booking, flight or bus schedules, and when talking about travel time. It is especially useful when contrasting the outbound and return parts of a trip.

Caution

ขาไป is not the verb “to go.” It is a noun meaning the outbound leg or outward side of a trip. Use ไป when you simply mean “go.”
