Explanation

The phrase combines เอา, meaning “take,” with กลับบ้าน, meaning “go home.” To name the item, place it between them: เอา + item + กลับบ้าน. For example, เอาหนังสือกลับบ้าน means “take a book home.” Omit the item when the context makes it clear. At a restaurant, เอากลับบ้าน functions as “to go,” even if you will eat the food somewhere other than home. For politeness, male speakers can add ครับ and female speakers can add ค่ะ.

Usage

Use it when taking items home from work or school, ordering food to go, or asking to take leftovers home. Restaurant staff also use it when asking whether an order is for here or to go.

Caution

กลับบ้าน by itself means to go home; it does not specify taking anything with you. When taking a person home, normally use พากลับบ้าน, as in พาลูกกลับบ้าน, “take your child home.”
