แล้วพบกันใหม่ (laaeoH phohpH ganM maiL)
is the only expression that I know and means more ore less see you soon (see you again).

No idea if there is an expression in thai that means "have a nice day".
Is surely a colloquial sentence and my thai knowledge are not so good.
On the greetings section I've found
ขอให้คุณได้แต่สิ่งที่ดีที่สุด
khaawR haiF khoonM daiF dtaaeL singL theeF deeM theeF sootL
and it means "I wish you all the best"

One thing that Thais say very commonly is: "bye-bye."

Or, โชคดีนะ (แล้วพบกันใหม่) - informally: (... เจอกันใหม่)

Nobody says "have a nice day."

This is an American phrase. Hardly anyone say that in Asia in their own languages here.

You should not try to tranlate; just listen what Thais say in the situation when you would say "have a nice day". They like to say โชคดี [chook2 dii] "good luck".

:) Nor anywhere else, even in most of the vast expanses of the two
American continents.

Sorry if I'm "beating a dead horse" again here - but "Americans" who are not from the USA don't say such a silly thing, either. ;)

โชคดีนะ
