There are a few ways to say "thank you" in Japanese, depending on your desired level of politeness. These are the most commonly used:
Thanks: doumo ã©ãã
Thank you: doumo arigatou ã©ãããããã¨ã
Thank you very much: arigatou gozaimasu ãããã¨ããããã¾ã
arigatou gozaimashita ãããã¨ããããã¾ããã(past tense)
And a lot of times, the Japanese would simply attempt to say "thank you" in English.

Domo to your peer or friend.
Domo arigato to a stranger. Dozo, or dozo yoroshiku in awkward situations.
Domo arigato gozaimasu to a superior or elder person. Don't say dozo, however, except in a first time greeting.
It means "Please be kind to me."

If you are an American just say "Thank - you" Loudly, they'll understand.
Same rule applies for anything else you want to say to them.
