Nice to see you again

Non-PRO English to Thai Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
My own guess is

Yin Di Ti Dai Jer Gun Eek.

Does it make sense? Please correct, or suggest a more natural way to say it.
Proposed translations (Thai)
5 +5 dee jai tee dai jer gan eek

Proposed translations

Selected

dee jai tee dai jer gan eek

There is nothing wrong with your guess >>Yin Di Ti Dai Jer Gun Eek
"yin dee" is more formal than "dee jai"
"pob" is more formal than "jer"
To a friend, I would use "dee jai jang tee dai jer gan eek"
To a know person, not so closed : "dee jai tee dai pope khun eek"
For formal greeting: "yin dee tee dai pope khun eek kha" the word kha is added for politeness, if a speaker is female (as "krab" is for male)

"pob" is more formal than "jer" >>> correction: "pope" < "pob"
