Different ways of saying "Thank You"

Hi

Mandarin seems to have a few ways of saying thank you and related words so I was wondering if Hokkien had more than one. Mandarin has "xie xie", "duo xie", "gan xie" and probably more.

I know "Kum sia" but are there any other ones?

Thanks

I think my question was too vague. I meant to ask whether they are used in different situations like how Mandarin "duo xie" is when someone gives something to you and "xie xie" is more general.

Thanks

kam un for big thanks.
hui sin for minor things
lo lat I find that people mostly use to some stranger.
