How it's used
This term refers specifically to a viral dance style originating from Thailand that became popular on social media in Hong Kong. It is a loanword based on the phonetic sound of the Thai lyrics, which sound like 'che-nai' to Cantonese speakers. It is almost exclusively used in informal contexts when discussing internet trends or nightlife.

He really likes going to Thailand to dance the 'che-nai'.
