In English, it is important to have “personal pronouns” to form complete English sentences.

In Thai, we often omit personal pronouns, especially for “I” and “You” in casual Thai conversation, if it is obvious. We may mention personal pronouns occasionally when it is not clear and needed.

In English, it is more difficult to form sentences because of English grammar and long sentence structure.

In Thai, most casual sentences are quite short, so you will need to understand “the little things that make BIG differences”
