Thai Vocabulary → Daily Activities → Days of the Week and Months

As a Thai language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am excited to teach you about the days of the week and months in Thai. This is a crucial part of daily conversation and I will provide cultural information and interesting facts along the way.

Days of the Week

Thai language has a unique system for the days of the week, as they are named after celestial bodies:

Thai Pronunciation English
วันอาทิตย์ wan aa-tit Sunday
วันจันทร์ wan jan Monday
วันอังคาร wan ang-kaan Tuesday
วันพุธ wan put Wednesday
วันพฤหัสบดี wan pheu-rueat-hat-sa-ba-dee Thursday
วันศุกร์ wan suk Friday
วันเสาร์ wan sao Saturday

Did you know that Thai people often wear clothes in the color associated with the day of the week they were born on? This is called "sukjai" and is believed to bring good luck.

Months

The names of the months in Thai are influenced by Sanskrit, and are also named after celestial bodies:

Thai Pronunciation English
เดือนมกราคม deuan mok-gara-kom January
เดือนกุมภาพันธ์ deuan gum-paa-pan February
เดือนมีนาคม deuan mee-naa-kom March
เดือนเมษายน deuan ma-sa-yon April
เดือนพฤษภาคม deuan phreu-sa-phaa-kom May
เดือนมิถุนายน deuan mi-tun-naa-yon June
เดือนกรกฎาคม deuan gam-ga-daa-kom July
เดือนสิงหาคม deuan sing-haa-kom August
เดือนกันยายน deuan gan-yaa-yon September
เดือนตุลาคม deuan dta-laa-kom October
เดือนพฤศจิกายน deuan phreu-sa-ji-gaa-yon November
เดือนธันวาคม deuan than-waa-kom December

In Thailand, as in many other cultures, there are specific traditions associated with each month, especially when it comes to festivals and holidays.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson on the days of the week and months in Thai. It's always beneficial to expand your vocabulary and cultural knowledge in a foreign language.
