Long explanation:

The term 'แต่ว่า (dtàe wâa)' is used in Thai language to show contrast or present unexpected results or contradictions, similar to how 'but' or 'however' is used in English. This is used often to showcase difference between two facts or to introduce an opposing point of view. It is usually used in the beginning of a sentence after the first statement.
