'''''Chaiyo''''' ({{lang|th|ไชโย}}, {{IPA-th|tɕʰāj.jōː|pron}}) is a [[Thai language|Thai-language]] exclamation used to express joy or approval, comparable to '[[hurrah]]/hooray' in English. It is largely synonymous with '''''chayo''''' ({{lang|th|ชโย}}, {{IPA-th|tɕʰa.jōː|}}), which is more often used in poetry.

The words' modern use was initiated by King [[Vajiravudh]] (Rama VI), who took inspiration from a similar word used by Indian performers in a [[Ramayana]] dance. Its first recorded use was on 28 January 1914, when the King made a pilgrimage to the newly discovered ruins of the stupa believed to mark the site of King [[Naresuan]]'s legendary [[elephant duel]] (now the [[Don Chedi Monument]] in [[Suphan Buri Province]]). When his [[Wild Tiger Corps]] retinue failed to respond in unison to the traditional yodel-like [[call and response]] ''ho-hiw'',{{efn|This traditional call is still commonly used in wedding processions and other ''[[klong yao]]'' parades.}} Vajiravudh instructed them to shout ''yo'' in response to the call ''chai'', hence completing the cheer ''chai''-''yo'', three times in succession (much like ''[[hip hip hooray]]'' in English). Its use subsequently spread and entered popular usage.<ref>{{List journal |work=Sarakadee |date=January 2003}} Quoted in {{cite web |title=คำว่า “ไชโย” ซึ่งเป็นคำที่มาพร้อมอาการโห่ร้องด้วยความดีใจ... |url=https://www.facebook.com/sarakadeelite/posts/pfbid02X3M6w9wifBkzBmxYh3djgWGn3av32HBk2dUi7qvSJKMMBD2JZLVMuSMaeY9VGxgdl |website=Sarakadee Lite Facebook page |publisher=Sarakadee |access-date=29 September 2023 |language=th |date=28 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author1=Rome Bunnag |title=ทำไมต้องร้อง “ไชโย” แทน “โห่..ฮิ้ว”! คำแสดงความยินดีแทนการโห่ ๓ ลา!! |url=https://mgronline.com/onlinesection/detail/9630000008595 |access-date=29 September 2023 |work=Manager |date=27 January 2020 |language=th}}</ref>

In later writings, Prince [[Damrong Rajanubhab]] noted that ''chaiyo'' as an interjection was actually an old term, found in Thai poetry from the reign of King [[Rama II]] (1809–1824), but which had fallen out of common usage by then.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Damrong Rajanubhab |title=สาส์นสมเด็จ พุทธศักราช ๒๔๘๑: วันที่ ๒ กุมภาพันธ์ พ.ศ. ๒๔๘๑ ดร |url=https://vajirayana.org/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%87%E0%B8%88-%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%A8%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%8A-%E0%B9%92%E0%B9%94%E0%B9%98%E0%B9%91/%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%98%E0%B9%8C/%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%88-%E0%B9%92-%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%98%E0%B9%8C-%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A8-%E0%B9%92%E0%B9%94%E0%B9%98%E0%B9%91-%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%A3 |website=Vajirayana Digital Library |access-date=29 September 2023 |language=th |date=22 October 2019}}</ref> Such usage is also found in folk songs and poems of [[Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province|Ayutthaya]], [[Ang Thong Province|Ang Thong]] and Suphan Buri.<ref>{{cite book |author=Sukanya Patrachai |title=สารานุกรมวัฒนธรรมไทย ภาคกลาง |volume=4 |date=1999 |publisher=Thai Commercial Bank Foundation for the Encyclopedia of Thai Culture |location=Bangkok |isbn=9748365301 |page=1762 |language=th |chapter=ชโย-ไชโย }} Reproduced in {{cite web |title=(เกร็ดความรู้เรื่องไทยศึกษา) ชโย-ไชโย |url=https://www.facebook.com/ThaiStudiesCU/posts/1837679469704320 |website=สถาบันไทยศึกษา จุฬาฯ Institute Of Thai Studies, Chulalongkorn university Facebook page |publisher=Institute of Thai Studies, Chulalongkorn University |access-date=29 September 2023 |date=26 October 2020}}</ref> According to the ''[[Royal Institute Dictionary]]'', ''chayo'' is a variant form of {{lang|th|ชัย}} (''chai''), itself a loanword from [[Pali]]/[[Sanskrit]] {{IAST|jaya}} ({{lang|sa|जय}}), meaning 'victory'.<ref>{{Cite RID|platform=web|access-date=29 September 2023}}</ref>
