This paper describes several dimensions of linguistic politeness in Bangkok Thai. These involve elevation of listener and self-effacement of speaker. The role of formal linguistic usage and formulaic deferential expressions in indicating politeness is illustrated. Kinship terms, emphasizing relative age, have been an important traditional means of indicating politeness in the past. This seems lo be undergoing a modification at present, linked to social change.
