How to tell and describe number in Thai

Let’s start by learning the Thai Number system. Here are the numbers from 0-10 in Thai!

Beyond 10, you can continue to form larger numbers by combining these basic numbers.

11, you would say "สิบเอ็ด" (sìb èd), which is a combination of 10 and 1.

To express larger numbers, you can use a similar pattern. For example, 20 is "ยี่สิบ" (yîi sìb), which is a combination of 2 and 10.

Here are a few more examples to help you understand how to tell numbers in Thai:

100: หนึ่งร้อย (nùeng rói)

1,000: หนึ่งพัน (nùeng pan)

10,000: หนึ่งหมื่น (nùeng mûen)

100,000 : หนึ่งแสน (nuèng săen)

1,000,000 : หนึ่งล้าน (nuèng láan)

Example

A : อันนี้ราคาเท่าไหร่คะ ? (an nîi  raa-kaa tâo rài ká)

How much does this cost? 

B : อันนี้ราคา 300 บาทค่ะ (an nîi raa-kaa · săam-rói · bath kâ)

This one is 300 bath.

A : รถคนนี้ราคา 500,000 บาทค่ะ (rót kon nîi raa-kaa · hâa săen· bath kâ)

This car is 500,000 bath
