These numbers are the building blocks for counting in Thai. To count from 11 to 100, we combine the words for the tens and units. For example, to say 11 in Thai, we say "สิบเอ็ด" (sip-et), which literally translates to "ten one." Here are some examples of counting from 11 to 100:
It's essential to practice these numbers until you are comfortable with them, as they will be used repeatedly in this lesson.
 
== Breaking Down Numbers ==
 
Now that we have a basic understanding of Thai numbers, let’s see how we can apply this knowledge to telephone numbers.
 
=== Structure of Telephone Numbers in Thailand ===
 
A typical Thai telephone number consists of 10 digits. They usually start with a prefix that indicates the type of line (mobile or landline). For example:
 
* Mobile numbers often start with '''08''', '''09''', or '''06'''.
 
* Landline numbers typically start with '''0''' followed by the area code.
 
Here’s a breakdown of how to say a 10-digit number correctly in Thai:
 
1. Say the prefix (e.g., 08, 09, etc.).
 
2. Proceed to say each digit separately.
 
For example:
 
* The number '''0812345678''' would be articulated as '''"ศูนย์แปด หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด"''' (sǔun pàet nùeng sǎng sǔi hâa hòk jèt pàet).

Now that we have refreshed our memory on Thai numbers, let's move on to telephone numbers.
We’ve included a variety of examples to illustrate how different numbers are communicated in Thai.  


== Telephone Numbers in Thai ==
== Common Scenarios for Using Telephone Numbers ==


Telephone numbers in Thai consist of a series of digits that are read out individually or in groups. To understand telephone numbers, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the Thai names for the digits from 0 to 9. Here they are:
Understanding how to use telephone numbers in conversation is just as important as knowing how to say them. Here are a few common scenarios where you might need to use this vocabulary:


{| class="wikitable"
1. '''Making a Phone Call'''
! Thai !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
 
|-
* When you want to call someone, you would typically say: “I will call you at [telephone number].”
| ศูนย์ || soon || zero
 
|-
* In Thai: “ฉันจะโทรหาคุณที่หมายเลข [หมายเลขโทรศัพท์]” (Chǎn jà thoo hǎa khun thîi mǎai lêek [mǎai lêek thoo sàp]).
| หนึ่ง || neung || one
 
|-
2. '''Sharing Your Number'''
| สอง || song || two
 
|-
* If someone asks for your phone number, you can respond: “My number is [telephone number].”
| สาม || sam || three
 
|-
* In Thai: “หมายเลขของฉันคือ [หมายเลขโทรศัพท์]” (Mǎai lêek khǎng chǎn khue [mǎai lêek thoo sàp]).
| สี่ || see || four
 
|-
3. '''Taking Down a Number'''
| ห้า || haa || five
|-
| หก || hok || six
|-
| เจ็ด || jet || seven
|-
| แปด || bpaaet || eight
|-
| เก้า || gao || nine
|}


When pronouncing telephone numbers, each digit is read individually. For example, the number 1234567890 would be pronounced as "หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด เก้า ศูนย์" (neung song sam see haa hok jet bpaaet gao soon).
* If someone gives you their number, you might say: “Can you repeat your number?”


In addition to individual digit pronunciations, it's important to note that Thai telephone numbers are often grouped into sets of two or three digits. The grouping of digits can vary depending on the region or personal preference. Let's take a look at some examples:
* In Thai: “คุณช่วยพูดหมายเลขของคุณอีกครั้งได้ไหม?” (Khun chûai phûut mǎai lêek khǎng khun ìik khráng dâi mái?).


{| class="wikitable"
4. '''Confirming a Number'''
! Thai !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| โทรศัพท์หมายเลข || thoo-ro-sap mai lek || telephone number
|-
| หนึ่ง-สอง-สาม || neung-song-sam || one-two-three
|-
| สี่-ห้า-หก || see-haa-hok || four-five-six
|-
| เจ็ด-แปด-เก้า || jet-bpaaet-gao || seven-eight-nine
|-
| ศูนย์ || soon || zero
|}


As you can see, the Thai word for "telephone number" is "โทรศัพท์หมายเลข" (thoo-ro-sap mai lek). This phrase can be used to refer to telephone numbers in general.
* If you want to confirm a number you’ve written down, you might say: “Is this your phone number?”


It's worth mentioning that Thai telephone numbers may also include special codes or prefixes. For example, mobile phone numbers often start with the prefix "0" followed by the network provider's code. Here are some common prefixes:
* In Thai: “นี่คือหมายเลขโทรศัพท์ของคุณไหม?” (Nîi khue mǎai lêek thoo sàp khǎng khun mái?).


{| class="wikitable"
5. '''Leaving a Message'''
! Prefix !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| 0 || soon || zero
|-
| 081 || bpaaet neung || zero-eight-one
|-
| 082 || bpaaet song || zero-eight-two
|-
| 083 || bpaaet sam || zero-eight-three
|-
| 084 || bpaaet see || zero-eight-four
|-
| 085 || bpaaet haa || zero-eight-five
|-
| 086 || bpaaet hok || zero-eight-six
|-
| 087 || bpaaet jet || zero-eight-seven
|-
| 088 || bpaaet bpaaet || zero-eight-eight
|-
| 089 || bpaaet gao || zero-eight-nine
|}


These prefixes can help identify the type of phone number or the network provider. For example, a mobile phone number starting with "081" belongs to the network provider with the code "081."
* When leaving a message, you might say: “Please call me back at [telephone number].


Now that we have covered the basics of telephone numbers in Thai, let's move on to some practice exercises to reinforce your learning.
* In Thai: “กรุณาโทรกลับมาที่หมายเลข [หมายเลขโทรศัพท์]” (Karunā thoo klàp mā thîi mǎai lêek [mǎai lêek thoo sàp]).

In this lesson, we'll dive deep into how to say and understand telephone numbers in Thai, ensuring you feel confident on the phone or in any situation that requires you to give or take down a number.

This lesson is designed for complete beginners, so we'll start with the basics, gradually moving towards more complex structures. By the end, you should be able to confidently understand and communicate telephone numbers in Thai.

Why Learning Telephone Numbers is Important[edit | edit source]

Understanding how to communicate numbers in Thai is not just about memorizing digits; it’s about building your confidence in a real-world context. Whether you're studying, traveling, or living in Thailand, knowing how to share your phone number or understand someone else's is crucial.

Introduction to Thai Telephone Numbers[edit | edit source]

In Thai, telephone numbers are typically spoken digit by digit. This is similar to how numbers are conveyed in English, but with a unique twist. Let’s explore how numbers are structured in Thai and how to articulate them clearly.

Basic Thai Numbers Recap[edit | edit source]

Before we dive into telephone numbers, let's quickly recap the basic numbers in Thai. Understanding the digits from 0 to 9 is essential as these will form the foundation for all telephone numbers.

Thai Pronunciation English
0 ศูนย์ (sǔun) zero
1 หนึ่ง (nùeng) one
2 สอง (sǎng) two
3 สาม (sǎam) three
4 สี่ (sì) four
5 ห้า (hâa) five
6 หก (hòk) six
7 เจ็ด (jèt) seven
8 แปด (pàet) eight
9 เก้า (kâo) nine

It's essential to practice these numbers until you are comfortable with them, as they will be used repeatedly in this lesson.

Breaking Down Numbers[edit | edit source]

Now that we have a basic understanding of Thai numbers, let’s see how we can apply this knowledge to telephone numbers.

Structure of Telephone Numbers in Thailand[edit | edit source]

A typical Thai telephone number consists of 10 digits. They usually start with a prefix that indicates the type of line (mobile or landline). For example:

  • Mobile numbers often start with 08, 09, or 06.
  • Landline numbers typically start with 0 followed by the area code.

Here’s a breakdown of how to say a 10-digit number correctly in Thai:

1. Say the prefix (e.g., 08, 09, etc.).

2. Proceed to say each digit separately.

For example:

  • The number 0812345678 would be articulated as "ศูนย์แปด หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด" (sǔun pàet nùeng sǎng sǔi hâa hòk jèt pàet).

Examples of Telephone Numbers[edit | edit source]

Let’s look at some examples of how to articulate different telephone numbers in Thai.

Thai Pronunciation English
0812345678 ศูนย์แปด หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด 0812345678
0923456789 ศูนย์เก้า สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด 0923456789
0634567890 ศูนย์หก สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด เก้า ศูนย์ 0634567890
021234567 ศูนย์สอง หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด 021234567
0856789012 ศูนย์แปด ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด เก้า ศูนย์ หนึ่ง สอง 0856789012
0934567890 ศูนย์เก้า สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด เก้า ศูนย์ 0934567890
045678901 ศูนย์สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด แปด เก้า ศูนย์ หนึ่ง 045678901
081234 ศูนย์แปด หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ 081234
029876543 ศูนย์สอง เก้า แปด เจ็ด ห้า สี่ สาม 029876543
0641234567 ศูนย์หก สี่ หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า หก เจ็ด 0641234567

We’ve included a variety of examples to illustrate how different numbers are communicated in Thai.

Common Scenarios for Using Telephone Numbers[edit | edit source]

Understanding how to use telephone numbers in conversation is just as important as knowing how to say them. Here are a few common scenarios where you might need to use this vocabulary:

1. Making a Phone Call

  • When you want to call someone, you would typically say: “I will call you at [telephone number].”
  • In Thai: “ฉันจะโทรหาคุณที่หมายเลข [หมายเลขโทรศัพท์]” (Chǎn jà thoo hǎa khun thîi mǎai lêek [mǎai lêek thoo sàp]).

2. Sharing Your Number

  • If someone asks for your phone number, you can respond: “My number is [telephone number].”
  • In Thai: “หมายเลขของฉันคือ [หมายเลขโทรศัพท์]” (Mǎai lêek khǎng chǎn khue [mǎai lêek thoo sàp]).

3. Taking Down a Number

  • If someone gives you their number, you might say: “Can you repeat your number?”
  • In Thai: “คุณช่วยพูดหมายเลขของคุณอีกครั้งได้ไหม?” (Khun chûai phûut mǎai lêek khǎng khun ìik khráng dâi mái?).

4. Confirming a Number

  • If you want to confirm a number you’ve written down, you might say: “Is this your phone number?”
