Learning notes
Explanation
ขนส่ง combines the ideas of carrying and sending, so it usually means moving goods or people to a destination, often through an organized service. As a verb it means “to transport,” and as a noun it means “transportation,” “shipping,” or “logistics.” It appears in common phrases such as ค่าขนส่ง “shipping fee,” บริษัทขนส่ง “transport company,” and ระบบขนส่งสาธารณะ “public transportation system.” In everyday speech, it can also be a shortened way to refer to a bus or transport terminal.
Usage
Commonly used when talking about shipping fees, delivery services, logistics companies, moving goods, passenger transport, public transportation, and long-distance bus terminals. It is natural in everyday contexts, but it has a practical transport or logistics feel.
Caution
Do not use ขนส่ง for sending photos, messages, or emails. Use ส่ง for those. ขนส่ง is for physically transporting goods or people.
