I always thought that the word Sawasdee Kha is derived from a Sanskrit word,Swastika.

kha or khrup (short khup) is attached to speech quite often as an expression of politeness

sabeidee mai kha
bpai nai kha
kawp khun khrup
an nee tao rai kha

to give some examples

but why use an ending at all and why is it different for men and women like chan and pom
