Explanation
ที่โน่น is a locative expression for a place at some distance. It combines ที่, referring to a place, with โน่น, which points to something farther away, giving it the basic image of “that place over there.” It commonly follows verbs, as in อยู่ที่โน่น “be over there” and ไปที่โน่น “go over there.” It is a normal, neutral expression used in everyday conversation. A useful distance scale is ที่นี่ “here,” ที่นั่น “there,” and ที่โน่น “over there, farther away,” although the exact distance depends on the situation and the speaker’s perspective.
Usage
Commonly used when pointing out a distant shop or building, saying where someone or something is, giving a destination, or indicating where to put something. It may accompany a pointing gesture, but it can also refer to a distant place already understood from context.
Caution
Use it for a place perceived as relatively far away. For a more general “there,” ที่นั่น is often more suitable. The variant spelling ที่โน้น has essentially the same meaning and use.
