Long explanation:

'คง (khong)' is a Thai word that is used to express a level of certainty or probability about a situation. In English, this would translate to 'probably' or 'must be'. It is not an absolute assertion of fact, but rather shows a strong belief that something is true. It is typically used at the beginning or within a sentence.
