Numbers---from the basics!

Sawadee ka!

The basics of every language is learning to count.  Thai language is the same.  In this blog, I will introduce you the numbers from 1 to10.  Thai numbers get pretty repetitive as you get higher, so there's no need to worry.  Sometimes it incorporates Chinese words in there, so that might make it a little tricky---mind you, the majority of Thai people have Chinese ancestors and Thailand have a rich history with China since hundreds of years ago.

Here they are!  The numbers are in this order.  ENJOY!
Aerobic Number : Thai writing : Thai Number : Thai pronunciation.

1 / หนึ่ง / ๑ / Nung
2 / สอง / ๒ / Song
3 / สาม / ๓ / Sam
4 / สี่ / ๔ / See
5 / ห้า / ๕ / Ha
6 / หก / ๖ / Hok
7 / เจ็ด / ๗ / Jet
8 / แปด / ๘ / Pad
9 / เก้า / ๙ / Gaow
10 / สิบ / ๑o /Sib

Sometimes you will see Thai people wrote "55555" on their face book comment.  Don't be surprised, this is not a typo, they are basically writing "hahahahaha!"  Knowing this trick and repeating in to Thai people, will astonished them!!  Try it out!
