Did you know?

While สุดยอด describes the 'peak' of quality, the word ยอด also refers to the tender 'top' of coconut trees or bamboo shoots, which are considered delicacies in Thai cuisine.
The word อัศจรรย์ is derived from the Sanskrit word 'āścarya', which relates to something that causes a startle or a sudden shock of wonder.
In modern slang, Thai speakers often shorten สุดยอด to just สุด to indicate that something is 'the absolute best' or 'the most' of its kind.
