The term 'เมื่อไรก็ตาม (mʉ̂a rai gôr dtàam)' is used in Thai to indicate an event occurring regardless of the time, similar to the English 'whenever'. It is often placed at the start of sentences to signify that the action or state being described can or does occur at any time without concern for specific timing. It can be used with a variety of verbs to express flexibility in time or context.
