Long explanation:

The term 'แทนที่ (thɛɛn thîi)' is commonly used in Thai to show replacement or substitution of one action, object or person with another. It's akin to the English term 'instead of'. In Thai sentences, 'แทนที่' usually comes before the action, object or person that is being replaced.
