Learn to count in Thai

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

There are just exceptions to be aware of.

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

Then, you just have to add the next number to ten, for example: twelve = sip song (ten two), thirteen = sip sam (ten three) and so on up to 20 where there is another particularity:

20 is not song sip (two tens) but yii sip

Then, 30 is said sam sip (three tens) 40 sii sip (four tens), 50 haa sip ….

Numbers after 0: sunne

1: nung
2: song
3: sam
4: sii
5: haa
6: hok
7: djette
8: paette
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 move on to 100: nung rôille ; 101 nung rôille nung (and not nung rôille ette ); 102 nung rôille song…

200: song roille ; 300: sam rôille ; 400: sii laughs ….

1000: no failure ; 10,000: nung munne , 100,000: nung senne

1,000,000: nung lanne ; 100,000,000: nung rôille lanne …

There you go, you know how to count to 100 million!

Thai or Arabic numerals?

In Thailand, Arabic numerals are generally used, as we do here, but if you want to learn to read Thai , you will need to be able to distinguish the numbers from the other characters in the Thai alphabet and therefore, you must also learn to recognize the numbers written in Thai.

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