Korean:
감사합니다 (kam-sa-ham-ni-da)
고맙습니다 (ko-map-seum-ni-da)
(Both are in the formal polite speech level. The first one seems to be a bit more common, in my experience, but both are used.)

Thank you in languages that I'm studying/that are on my hit list which haven't been mentioned:

Swahili - tafadhali
Hungarian - köszönöm
Romanian - mulţumesc
Czech - děkuji
Indonesian - terima kasih
Afrikaans - dankie
Hindi - धन्यवाद (dhan'yavāda)
Croatian - hvala vam
Lithuanian - ačiū
Irish - go raibh maith agat
Hebrew - תודה (toda)
Welsh - diolch


That Swahili looks like an Arabic loan word, though in Arabic it doesn't mean thank you. Interesting.

The Irish is so often mispronounced I feel the need to throw in the pronunciation I know (Learned off a native Irish speaker, Ulster dialect) as "gurra ma hagat"

Oops. I wrote tafadhali (which means "please") for Swahili instead of asante ("thank you). I'll fix that.

That almost sounds like English "thank you"!
