Why is ส in สวัสดี low tone?
It is oversimplifying. That's why the site has a reading course at https://thai-notes.com/reading/index.html The subject of unstressed "a" is covered in lessons 27 and 28. That covers the tone of the first syllable. Had you spotted that the tone of the second syllable is not what you'd expect? วัส = low class consonant + short vowel + dead final. According to the chart, that should be high tone. Indeed, วัด, which follows the same pattern is high tone, /wát/. However, in สวัสดี วัส is low tone. That's also covered in lesson 27. I would suggest: (1) You use a dictionary that gets the tones right. I've previously linked to Haas. The other one I would suggest is at https://thai-notes.com/dictionaries/predictionarysearch.html but it does not include glottal stops in the transcription. Wait until you can read Thai script fluently and accurately, so can ignore then transcription, before using the likes of thai-language. (2) Work your way through the reading course (link above). There are so many complexities and irregularities with written Thai, it would take an age to learn about all of them working piecemeal. Finally, let me pick you up on one tiny thing: ส is not a "high tone consonant" , it's a high class consonant. There is no direct relationship between a consonant's class and the tone is produces. -
