Thai numerals

Thai numerals are traditionally used in Thailand, although the Western or Arabic numerals are more common.

Thai	phonetic	value
๐	soon	zero
๑	neung	one
๒	song	two
๓	saam	three
๔	see	four
๕	haa	five
๖	hok	six
๗	jet	seven
๘	paet	eight
๙	gao	nine

From ten to a million

These are assembled from the words for the powers of ten. The number one following a power of ten becomes et. The numbers from twenty to twenty nine begin with yee sip.

Thai	phonetic	value
สิบ	sip	ten
สิบเอ็ด	sip et	eleven
ยี่สิบ	yee sip	twenty
ร้อย	roy	hundred
พัน	phan	thousand
หมื่น	meun	ten thousand
แสน	saen	hundred thousand
ล้าน	laan	million

For example, one hundred and thirty-two is neung roy sam sip song. The words roy, phan etc. should never be used without a preceding numeral, so one hundred, for example, is neung roy and not just roy. Native speakers will use roy neung (or phan neung etc.) with different tones on neung to distinguish one hundred from one hundred and one.

Above a million

Numbers above a million are constructed by prefixing laan with a multiplier. For example, ten million is sip laan, and a trillion (10¹²) is laan laan.
