Maybe it's better to use the 'Thank You' first, then the negative as in 'Terima Kasih, Tidak'. Indonesians avoid unnecessary negatives.

Another one would be (there are many), 'lebih baik tidak' which means 'better not'

Enjoy your Bahasa Indonesia as this is where we really get to know our neighbours and hosts.
