Graphics for Learning Thai Time

[ryanwiley]

I've been learning with Pimsleur Thai, and I'm finding it hard to speak about time with no visual aids, so I did some research and made these 2 clocks.

This is for the AM hours...

Midnight to 11:59 AM

And this is for the PM hours...

Noon to 11:59 PM

Also, I made these images small (500 X 500) because TV doesn't really resize pics too well. I've also uploaded full size (1500 X 1500) copies that you can download and print. You can get them here...

I also found this page, which really helps visualize how Thai time works...

I'm just learning this myself, so I assume there will be some mistakes. If you find any, please let me know, so I can fix them.

Cheers,

Ryan

Good job; no mistakes for me, but some differences in every day speaking that I hear often from thai people : ( sorry, I write in phonetics ( I hate phonetics ), even if I can read and write thai, I am lazy because I don' have a thai keyboard ( not even an english keyboard ) )

in the morning, there is also : haa mong chao ( for dtee haa ) ; also hohk mong chao , jet mohng chao ( for hohk mong and tjet mong )

in the afternoon, very common : bai mohng ( not bai neung mohng ); often, they don't even say "baai saawng mohng", just " baai saawng "

neung toom, they say also " toom neung "

and on radio, tv, official speechs, they only say "nalika", for the 24 hours of the day ; ( sipsam nalika, yi sip nalika )
