Learn To Read Thai - Worksheet Downloads
Worksheet Downloads
Thai script can be quite tricky to learn to write and Thai children use books to help them. The books contain each consonant and vowel made up of dots and the kids join the dots to form each character.
Even if you aren't particularly interested in writing, these exercises are a great way to commit each character to memory to help with your reading.
These books are easily available in Thailand, but if you aren't in Thailand they may be tricky to find. This is why I have included them here. The worksheets are in PDF format and can be easily printed.
Consonants
Vowels
Because Thai vowels can be written above or below consonants, and because some vowel combinations surround consonants, it is necessary with certain vowels to include a consonant, or to use a dash as a substitute for a consonant.
In the following list I have used the zero consonant (or aang) for this purpose and, for the sake of consistency, I have included the zero consonant with each vowel.

Visit Thailand
Thailand is an incredibly photogenic country, both for its landscapes and its people. Regardless of whether you enjoy large Asian cities, beaches and islands, or rice fields and mountains, Thailand has something for you and it is a dream destination for photographers.
One of the great things about visiting Thailand is that hotels are plentiful and a lot cheaper than in most other countries. Each link on the right will take you to the relevant page on the Agoda website where you can see photos, read reviews, and book on-line. I use Agoda to book all of my own hotels in Thailand and the Southeast Asia region. Agoda hotel rates are usually always the lowest and I have received good customer service, therefore I am happy to recommend the company to other people. Here is some analysis I did regarding booking hotels in Southeast Asia.
Booking.com used to be more expensive than Agoda, but when I have checked hotel prices recently I have found their rates to be quite competitive. Unlike Agoda, you don't need to pay at the time of booking with Booking.com - you can simply pay at the hotel when you check in. Also, Booking.com show you total prices whereas Agoda show you a price and then add on 17% for tax and service charge.
If you want to compare prices between different on-line travel agents (OTAs) for a specific hotel, you can use a company such as HotelsCombined.
