Learn to count in Thai

Learn to count in Thai is easy, once you know how to count to ten, you've done the hard part.

There are just some exceptions to be aware of.

For example, we do not say sip nung (ten one) to say eleven, but sip ette

Then simply add the next number to ten, e.g. twelve = sip song (ten two), thirteen = sip sam (ten three) and so on up to 20 where there is another feature:

20 is not said song sip (two ten) but yii sip

Then, 30 says to himself sam sip (three ten) 40 sii sip (four ten), 50 haa sip....

The numbers after 0: sounne

1 : nung
2 : song
3 : sam
4 : sii
5 : haa
6 : hok
7 : djette
8 : peacock
9 : kao
10 : sip
11 : sip ette
12 : sip song
13 : sip sam
14 : sip sii
15 : sip haa
16 : sip hok
17 : sip djette
18 : sip paette
19 : sip kao
20 : yi sip
21 : yi sip ette
22 : yi sip song
23 : yi sip sam
Then :
30 : sam sip
31 : sam sip ette
32 : sam sip song
then
40 : sii sip
50 : haa sip...

Do you understand?

Then we go to 100 : nung is on the prowl ; 101 nung rôille nung (and not nung rôille ette) ; 102 nung rôille song...

200 : song rôille ; 300 : sam roosting ; 400 : sii rôille....

1000 : nung breakdown ; 10 000 : nung munne, 100 000 : nung reindeer

1 000 000 : nung lanne ; 100 000 000 : nung rôille lanne...

Now you can count to 100 million!

Thai or Arabic numbers?

In Thailand, Arabic numerals are generally used, as they are in our country, but if you want to learn to read ThaiIt will be necessary to be able to distinguish the numbers from the other characters in theThai alphabet and so you also have to learn to recognise the numbers written in Thai.

In some places where there are two tariffs, one for Thai and one for foreigners, the prices for Thai people are displayed in Thai figures.
