I am reading the Daily News about a rail link for container traffic and have come across the acronym(?) ทีอียู, which seems to refer to capacity in some sense. No online directory has a translation. In the context of the article it reads 160 ทีอียูต่อสัปดาห์ so its something like "160 something or other per week".

Is it 'travellers'?  Was it a Chiang Mai or northern newspaper? Might not be Thai...but rather a Lanna word?  

 

 

Looks like it might be TEU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-foot_equivalent_unit

Thanks guys, I would have never guessed that in a month of sundays.

A three character acronym in English becomes a six character acronym in Thai
