The complete Thai script on one page — all 44 consonants in alphabetical order with their traditional names, the vowel signs, and the tone marks and symbols. Click any character to copy it, or grab a whole section with one button.
All 44 Thai consonants in dictionary order. Each name pairs the letter's sound with a mnemonic word — ko kai is "k as in kai (chicken)". Two letters, ฃ and ฅ, are obsolete but still part of the official alphabet.
Thai vowels are written around a consonant — before, after, above, or below it. The marks written above or below (like ั, ิ, ุ) are combining characters that may look detached here on their own; they attach once pasted after a consonant, e.g. ก + ั = กั.
The four tone marks sit above a consonant (ก + ่ = ก่), as do mai taikhu and the silencing thanthakhat. ๆ and ฯ are full standalone symbols.

The Thai script was introduced under King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai around 1283, adapted from Old Khmer and ultimately descended from India's Brahmi script. It is an abugida rather than a true alphabet: consonants carry an inherent vowel, and the written vowel signs wrap around the consonant — เ comes before it, า after, ิ above, and ุ below. The 44 consonants divide into three classes (high, mid, low) that combine with tone marks and syllable shape to produce Thai's five tones, which is why the same tone mark can yield different tones on different letters.
Every consonant has an acrophonic name pairing its sound with a mnemonic word, learned by every Thai schoolchild in order: ko kai (chicken), kho khai (egg), ngo ngu (snake), mo ma (horse). Two letters — ฃ (kho khuat) and ฅ (kho khon) — fell out of use when early Thai typewriters left them off to save keys, yet they remain in the official 44-letter alphabet and in Unicode, so they still copy and paste perfectly. Thai is also written without spaces between words, with spaces marking phrase boundaries instead.
All of these characters come from the Unicode Thai block (U+0E00–U+0E7F) and render correctly on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X, LINE, and every modern device. The combining marks deserve one caution: signs like ่, ิ, and ุ are zero-width characters designed to attach to a consonant, so pasted alone they may float oddly or sit on a dotted circle depending on the font. Paste them immediately after a consonant — ก + ้ = ก้ — and they position themselves automatically. Standalone symbols like ๆ (repeat the previous word) and ฯ (abbreviation) behave like ordinary characters.
Yes. All characters here are standard Unicode from the Thai block (U+0E00–U+0E7F), which every modern platform and phone supports. Full consonants and standalone symbols work anywhere — bios, captions, comments, display names. Combining vowel and tone marks also work, but they should be pasted after a consonant; on their own some platforms show them floating or on a dotted circle.
Marks like ั, ิ, ุ, and ่ are combining characters with zero width — they are designed to attach above or below a consonant, not to stand alone. Pasted by themselves, fonts may draw them on a dotted placeholder circle or overlap them with the next character. Paste them directly after a consonant, as in ก + ิ = กิ, and they snap into position.
They are genuine members of the official 44-letter alphabet — ฃ (kho khuat, bottle) and ฅ (kho khon, person) — but they became obsolete in the early 20th century, partly because typewriter makers dropped them to save keys. Modern words use ข and ค instead. They survive in Unicode, so this chart is one of the easiest places to copy them.
Each Thai consonant is named with its sound plus a mnemonic word that starts with (or contains) that letter: ko kai is "k as in kai (chicken)", mo ma is "m as in ma (horse)". Since several letters share the same sound — Thai has six letters pronounced th, for example — the mnemonic word tells you exactly which letter is meant, the way English speakers say "B as in bravo".
