Long explanation:

In Thai language, the phrase 'แต่งานจริง (dtàe ngaan jing)' is used to oppose what is expected or presumed to be true with the real situation, similar to the English 'in reality' or 'actually'. It mostly placed at the beginning of a sentence, followed by the fact that contradicts the prior belief or expectation. The phrase can be utilized in different contexts and with various types of sentences, enabling a speaker to express a surprising fact or surprising turn of events.
