How to Write Your Name in Thai & Everything You Need to Know About Thai Nicknames

One standout cultural difference between Thailand and the West is ‘names'.

If you have spent time in Thailand you will have noticed that some Thai names are often quite long, that most people don't use their birth name, that most people have a nickname, and that many people adopt Western nicknames.

In fact, the whole naming culture in Thailand is very interesting.

Learning to write your own name in Thai is also a good way to start familiarizing yourself with the Thai alphabet. You can also adopt a Thai nickname if you want.

In this post I'll look at how the most common Western names are written in Thai, and explore nickname culture –  both past and present.

I also give you some tips on how to start writing Thai. It's not as hard as you think.

Thai Nickname Culture

By now you may have noticed that Thai people generally don't use their birth name, but rather a nickname.

This nickname is usually adopted from a young age may be given by parents or other family members, friends at school, or simply adopted by the person themselves.

A Thai person may also adopt a Western nickname if they go to study or live abroad.

Thai names are often quite long and therefore a nickname is easier. My wife's name is 15 letters long, so her nickname is a blessing!

Nicknames can also be used to describe a person's personality and nature. Nicknames are also fun, thus the word for nickname in Thai…

The word for nickname in Thai is ‘cheu len‘. The literal translation is ‘name play' (len = play), but Thai uses the word order ‘noun adjective' instead of ‘adjective noun', therefore the actual translation is ‘play name'.

  • ชื่อเล่น (cheu len) – nickname

Your real name is classified as ‘cheu jing'

  • ชื่อจริง (cheu jing) – real name

Even King Bhumibol Adulyadej had a nickname. His nickname was Ong Lek (องค์เล็ก); Ong is a numerative noun for kings, princes, princesses, priests, images of Buddha, gods, angels, palaces and pagodas, and “Lek”, as you may know, means “little (one)”.

Up until 10 to 20 years ago you would hear the same nicknames over and over again. People tended to adopt nicknames that represented aspects of nature such as cute animals or flowers and other nature inspired things.

Here's a few classic female nicknames you've probably come across up:

  • Maew: แมว (cat),
  • Nok: นก (bird),
  • Poo: ปู (crab),
  • Pla: ปลา (fish),
  • Kwang: กวาง (deer)
  • Nahm /náam: น้ำ (water)
  • Má-naao: มะนาว (lemon)

The Top 10 Thai Nicknames

 In modern times the kids are getting more creative. I've heard everything from a boy named ‘Google' to a girl named ‘Babe'. My niece has a friend called ‘cartoon' (การ์ตูน)!

A number of today's nicknames are Western influenced.

Here's Thailand's Top 10 most common Thai nicknames, as surveyed by the The Ministry of Culture:

  • May: เมย์  – like the month of May
  • Ploy: พลอย  – meaning a precious stone or gem, and after the famous Thai ladyboy of the same name.
  • Nan /naen: แนน  – For a girl. This is not a Thai name but a western inspired name – which funnily means ‘grandma' in the UK.
  • Ice /ái: ไอซ์  – Cool as ice! up
  • Bank: แบงค์ – Money inspired, no doubt.
  • Fah /fáa:  ฟ้า – A girl's name meaning ‘sky’, and usually short for นางฟ้า /naang-fáa/ meaning ‘angel’
  • New /niu: นิว  – works for both boys and girls.
  • Ball /bon: บอล  – like foot-ball. A boy's name.
  • Beer /bia: เบียร์  – Yep, strange but true. Again, a boy's name.

Perhaps the most out there boy's names I've heard are ‘status' (สเตตัส) and ‘airbus' (แอร์บัส).

I recently heard the name ‘Cream' for a girl, too.

Creating Your Own Nickname

So you can give yourself any nickname you want. The only real requirement is that you make it very short, and inoffensive.

But then if your name is short already, like mine (Peter),  then it kind of defeats the object.

If I had to choose one I'd probably go for something like ‘music', or something really silly like ‘wolf'.

What About Thai Surnames

Surnames have only been legally required in Thailand since 1913, when a law was introduced by King Rama VI (King Jajiravudha) that made it mandatory.

You'll notice in Thailand the surnames are only used for official purposes and when times are referring to others they will use the prefix Khun followed by the person's first name.

  • นามสกุล (naam sa-guun) – surname/family name

Funny Thai Names!

You may occasionally come across a Thai name sounds rather funny, like the name ‘Nan', which whenever I see written reminds me of my late grandmother – when Thais say it's actually pronounced Naen.

One name in particular the always draws a little disbelief from foreign visitors is the name ‘Porn' (พร).  this is really common in Thailand and always think it's bad manners to point out what it means in English because like the name ‘Poo', it doesn't have the same connotation in Thai.

In Thai, Porn is actually a lovely name. It forms part of a number of names, including ‘Suraporn' and ‘Jiraporn', and means ‘gift' or ‘blessing' – thus why parents like giving this name to their kids.

How to Write Your Name In Thai

Below I have written out some common boys and girls names in Thai. If your name isn't listed, leave a comment and I will try to add it to the list.

Please bear in mind that there will be more than one way to write your name in Thai, and this is because Western words and names don't always translate exactly into Thai script.

Moreover, the way Thais pronounce Western names isn't exactly as they are spoken in English. For example, Denise would be pronounced  and therefore written Dee-nit.

The easiest way to write your name in Thai is to find a Thai letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Thai name.

For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter ม for “m,” า for “a,” ย for “y” and า for “a.” You just need to put them together and write มายา for “Maya”.

How to Start Learning to Write Thai

If you want to learn  how to write your name in Thai  then you will need to start learning to write Thai. This can seem not an overwhelming task considering that there are 44 consonants and 32 vowels that look completely different to the alphabet that you are used to.

But don't let that put you off. You can start learning to speak and write Thai very easily.

I recommend learning one word per day and learning to write one letter per day. This might seem like a slow way to learn but you will quickly realise that actually you can increase this to 2 or 3 words a day once you start becoming familiar with the language.

You don't need to learn to write Thai to speak Thai, but of course in the long term it is going to be very useful.

There are a number of foreign nationals living in Thailand who can speak Thai conversationally but can't read Thai because they have learnt Thai from everyday interactions and from their partners. However I recommend learning to speak Thai and practicing your Thai alphabet on the side.

Get as much conversational practice in as you can while slowly learning the consonants and vowels too.

The way I learned the alphabet was to write one consonant per page on a notepad. Then I would look at each page, close my eyes, say the name and visualise drawing the symbol. After a while I was able to say a letter and then draw it.

    I would think that Nhan would prefer a close-sounding pronunciation. The nh in nhan is actually pronounced more like nyan or นิยาน but no true equivalent in Thai - see the Youtube video, "Vietnamese Pronunciation: NH & NG", but since he seems to prefer the long ah (า) sound as in นาน as in on or bon(fire), นาน seems to be the best option.

      No real way to include the “h”, Thai doesn’t really have that sound. แมม is really more like naen than naan. Spelling would be dependent on if the “a” sound in your name is long - naan - or short - nan. First case could be your นาน, second would be นัน. Those don’t take into account any tones your name has.

        That is incorrect. Thai language absolutely has a direct translation for the letter H and while it is often silent it is also often pronounced.

          That wasn’t the question, c, the phoneme in question is “nh” which doesn’t exist in Thai. Sure, there are two ways to transpose an “h” from Roman into Thai - ห and ฮ - but no way to transliterate a sound like “th”, for example, or in the name in question, the “nh”.

      You could have fun with this if you wanted. I see you started with ซู which is fine if you want ซูวันนา Su-wan-na (long "a" sound at the end). But สวน - Suwan - means garden or park. สวนนา Suwanna - a combination of garden and rice paddy - can mean farm. This kind of word play is very Thai. As c mentions in a post, some Thai names can be less than flattering, so before you go printing up stationery or getting a tattoo you might want to run it by a Thai friend to check that it's the spelling you want with no meanings you don't.

      All Thais are given formal names and nicknames shortly after birth. You can't just get one. My real name actually sounds like a common Thai word so Thais are comfortable calling me that but they have all said I am the only person they every knew with that nickname even though it is a common Thai word.

          Yes, it's common for them to have many names depending on who is addressing them. My gf has 4 different names. But my point was that they are all given a birth name and a nickname at birth that they will always be addressed by within the family and among family friends. No matter how much they hate it I might add. Both my gf and her sister have very unflattering family nicknames and they always cringe upon hearing them. As an aside it is very easy for Thais to change their legal names and many do but that cheu len is there for life (no doubt as a show of respect for the person who bestowed them with it such as your wife's grandmother).

          My S.O.'s cheu len doesn't really work for a woman in the US so she uses her formal name in the US. My US nickname is the same as her Thai cheu len (different tone though). It can get confusing fast so I use my formal name in Thailand. The sacrifices one makes...

      Depends on the tone. Start with จีน and if it's not flat-tone make it จี่น for falling tone or (probably more likely) จี้น for high-tone.

      "Jeen" usually means Chines or Chinese person "Kon jeen". As it is a name they are probably using it as such. The person may have been given that nickname or "cheu Len" (play name) for any number of reasons.

      How is "Elisha" pronounced and where do the syllables break? Grace will be tough as an ending "s" sound is not supported. You can spell it (as I do with James) and silence it or just spell it expecting it to be ignored. It'll sound more like a drawn out version of "Grey". Hunter will be similar as there is no ending "r" sound either but it can be kind of approximated.

      Grace Elisha and Hunter not really. I know a Thai woman named Grace and the closest she can even say it is "Great". They don't have a C like in ace. Even the nickname Ice is popular but they say it weird too. There is no SH for Elisha. The U in Hunter wouldn't be right either. They don't have the U like in up. Kim is คิม

      Thai handles small animals differently than English. Even when there is a different word for a young animal (sunak for puppy for example) it's preceded by "luk" which means baby. So kitten - luk maew (baby cat), puppy is the redundant luk sunak (baby puppy), etc. Since there is no (that I could fine) equivalent young animal name for a baby deer as with "fawn" in English, I'd just go with "luk kwang" - baby deer. (ลูกกวาง in Thai for getting embroidered on its collar...)

      You could come close, but it would depend on what the correct pronunciation of "Zha" is. Is the "Z" predominant or is "Zh" (kind of like the "sh" in "should")?

      The first letter should be ซ not ฃ. (I know, right? There are a lot of letters like that.) But there are several other "s" sound letters you could use. The "า" is a long "aah" sound. If you wanted a short "ah" you should use "ะ".

          "Right" in Thai is a moving target. Your choice of spelling is up to you (although there are some Thai commenters here that can give you a better feel for what would be best). It all depends on what you want to end up with. What you spelled - ซูระยะ - is a valid transposition - a one-for-one substitution of letters - but would be pronounced "Soo - rah - yah" (ignoring tone rules for a second...), where the "oo" is the long-U sound in "Rule". If that's not how your name sounds - and you wanted the Thai spelling to match the pronunciation - write it phonetically (especially if the "y" is participating in the last two syllables) and we could try to dial it in.

      If you want it to be written in the easiest way to read, I believe it should be ซูรายา. The า  can be replaced by ะ if you want it to be pronounced with a short sound, but if you spell your name as สุรยา or สุรญา, it would sound like a real Thai name tho. It even has a meaning!

      You could go with ปลันคะ. There isn't a true "BL" sound in Thai, the "ปล" is more of a "BPL" sound like in "ปลา" which means "fish". The "คะ" at the end is a short "kah" sound.

      Z is one of the sounds that is not in the Thai alphabet. You can have S, and that's about it. So, ซาร่า would work as a spelling. First syllable is mid-tone, second is falling-tone, If you wanted mid+mid just leave off the little '.

      There is no way to really add a pronouncable Z or an S sound at the end. It would read like "Mats" then. But it would not be spoken that way. If it was written it would be silent like many Thai letters can become depending on different factors.

    Hi, my name's Marc.

    Would Marc be written the same way as Mark since they're pronounced the same in English (my native language) or would it written differently cause they're spelt differently in English?

    • JamesE says

      July 26, 2021 at 10:45 pm

      Kind of. First, "Marc", however it's transliterated, doesn't work. There is no "RK" consonant cluster in Thai. Second, Thai has this implied vowel rule where an "o" sound is inserted into a consonant cluster that's not one of the allowed consonant clusters. So a simple transposition (letter for letter substitution) like มะรก ends up sounding like "maroke". There's other problems with "Marc" or "Mark" as well.

      So, yeah, they would be spelled the same but none of those spellings would actually sound like "Marc". You could go native and give yourself a Thai nickname like มาก (which means "a lot"). It's pronounced like "Mark" would be with a strong South-Boston accent.

        I have Thai classmates who write it มาร์ก or มาร์ค both of which sound a bit like mak with a very slight "r" sound. มาก means many or a lot.
        The symbol over the letter ร (r), i.e., ' ์' makes the letter beneath it almost silent, but not quite.
        A Thai would spell it Mark in English, but if you insist on Marc you would likely have to tell everyone you meet how you want it spelled.
        If you go to this web site https://forvo.com/search/mark/th/ you will be able to hear a correct pronunciation by a native Thai speaker.

          They don't know about tones. None of these names actually translate. It's just a phonetic representation. Any of the "s" letters will do for that purpose. My own name uses it and no one says it rising. You can paste it into translator and hear the S exactly as you would in Samantha.

            That's because in your name there's an implied short vowel "ะ" which gives a low tone. In Samantha's name the "สา", ending with a long vowel, gives a rising tone.

    Hello again NameSeekers. Just a reminder, if you have a non-western name or an uncommon name it's almost impossible to guess how it would be spelled in Thai. It really helps if you show where the syllables are: Su-wan-na or Su-wa-na, or Su-wan-a, and a phonetic spelling: Kee-sha or Kay-sha, to help decide how it should be spelled. It still might not be the only way to say it as there are several sounds in Thai, T, K, S, N, P, F..., where you can pick from a number of letters to get the same sound. If you asked how to spell your name and you didn't get an answer, that's why.

        This is a guess because there are several letters that make the S sound: สุวานา. That's a short U sound and two long AH sounds. If the AH sound is short - like in "attack" - just substitute ะ for า.

            If you transliterate "Suwanna" to Thai, the only applicable word would be "สุวรรณา", which is also a beautiful woman name.
            "สุวรรณ" is a word derived from Sanskrit "सुवर्ण", which means "gold".
            And you wouldn't really want to use "สุวาน"(श्वान) in your name because it means "dog".
            Thai people use words derived from Sanskrit as their real names so they usually understand those words. My real names are also derived from Sanskrit.

      The "Z" sound at the end is not gonna happen. The closest Thai has will be an "S" and that doesn't sound like an "S" at the end of a syllable, more like a "T". So you could go with หันนา มะริส for something pretty close.

      Almost impossible to say. There are several words that sound like that. The two most common are ทุก with a short "U" sound (but still a U not an Uh like TUCK) means "every". The other ถูก is a long U sound - like in TOOT - means "cheap/inexpensive". There are probably others as there are a *lot* of Ts and Ks in the Thai alphabet.

          That helps... ตุ๊ก The little symbol above the DTaw DTow makes the word high-tone. You'll get Bonus Points if you can say that first consonant right. It's usually transliterated as a "T" but it really is "DT", kind of like at the end of "Rembrandt". The easiest way to explain it is to start by saying a "D" and end by saying a "T". It's one of those sounds typically found at the end of syllables in English but can start a syllable in Thai.

            Oh yeah... Your original question is what it means: tuk-tuk those little motor tricycle taxis. They were named for the sound they make so it really doesn't mean anything on its own.

      "Ma(a)", as transliterated into English, is one of those trick words. It has different meanings depending on how it's spelled in Thai. "Dee" is most likely "good". Now, Thais *love* word play, so I'm guessing that "Maadee", as a girl's name, could be "มาดี" which translates as "be good" but (and this is a guess) could also mean "a good beginning", the wish of all parents, BUT "หมาดี", the wish of all pet parents, translates as "good dog". Which sounds like what you got. You could pick either one of those spellings.

      You're kinds out of luck. One - there is no "Z" sound in Thai. Two - words that end in "L" or "S" aren't pronounced that way. So you could spell it: คริส but a Thai might pronounce it more like "Krit".

      It will depend on how you pronounce the "sy" combination. Is it "see-a-see-a" or "si-a-si-a" (where "si" sounds like the start of 'silent') or something else? Thai doesn't like a lot of consonant pairs and will try and stick a vowel in between them. The spelling you came up with will sound more like "Sayasaya".

        The letter "Y" in English has a name that is different than it sounds. It's name is pronounced more like ไว but it sounds more like ย when used as a consonant and อี or เอะ when used as a vowel (depends on some things...) So if you're looking for just the "Y" sound I'd go with Wai, or Wye.

      This is the big problem. A slight change is tone changes the way it could be spelled. Karen (the tribe name) itself is a transliteration of something that is more like Kayin (in Burmese) or Kahriyang (in Thai). So that's กะเหรี่ยง. For "Karen" as the English transliteration of a Thai word that sounds almost nothing like that you could use: กะเรน

    Looks like it's time to post this again. Once again: Read *all* the comments. If you have a name that is not a common English-language name or does not have a standard pronunciation across languages you've gotta throw me a bone and tell me how it's pronounced. Or, at least what language's pronunciation you use. Okay? Good. Also, if you've got a number of names you want transliterated (NOT translated, you'd end up with something you might be less than happy with...) I'd suggest taking one of the Thai classes found elsewhere on TTL's site. Thanks, and have a nice day...

      lol! Yup. You did it right. There are very few (if any) consonant pairs that start with "S" in Thai so you're out of luck with the "SK" sound at the beginning. PLUS it's impossible to end a syllable with a "G" sound or an "S" sound so "GS" would be a nightmare in Thai. (For some reason the eTranslators will say an "S" at the end of a word but it *should* be silent, actually more ignored.) All of this is why "Starbucks" in Thai is more like "Satabuk". So, there really is no way to spell your name in Thai and have it sound like your name. Your best bet is just a straight transliteration (as it sounds like you've done) and then explain how it's pronounced.

        So, "FR" is not an allowed consonant cluster in Thai so it would be pronounced "FaR" and the "S" at the end would be prononced like a "T"but a straight transliteration would be ฝรันสิส.

      The "ia" vowel doesn't really sound like "ya" it's more "ee-a". And, since all vowels must be attached to a consonant, using separate "i" and "a" looks very clunky. I'd just spell it phonetically: โสนยะ

      lol. Not exactly. A lot depends on how you pronounce Nana. Long "a", short "a", or short-long. So you can pick between นานา, นะนะ, or น่ะน่า. Anastasia is a whole different story. "ST" doesn't work in Thai so you'd have to go with "An-as-ta-sia so something like อันอัสแทะเสียะ might work. You have to remember that there are a number of different consonants in Thai that make the same sound, in your case "n", "s" and "t", so you may want to seek out a professional opinion...

        TTL's right. Jared in Thai: จะเร็ด doesn't mean anything. BUT จะ means "will do something" and เร็ด might be some obscure slang or the punchline to everybody's bad joke. Get it checked before committing to ink. Also consider that many transliterated words have multiple possible spellings and they ALL sound the same to farang ears. But not to Thai people. So even though one spelling is harmless, pronouncing it in an incorrect manner (look up the "new wood doesn't burn does it?" Thai tongue-twister) can lead to embarrassing situations. I'd find a native Thai teacher, send them $20 (or whatever you spend where you live), and get something that won't be wrong.

      It is almost impossible to go from a transliterated Thai name back to Thai. In this case I wouldn't hazard a guess as to which of the 4 "S" letters to start with or the 5 "T" letters to end. All of which is complicated further that the "T" sound at the end can be made by a further 11(!) different letters. "Sarawat" could be spelled any one of 64 different ways!

      Yeah, it'll be the same in Thai. "ST" is just not gonna happen. Stuart will morph into something more like Sa-Tu-Aat. Starbucks has the same problem. You could go with the straight transliteration: สทูอัรท but you'll be saying "yeah, but it's pronounced..." a lot. The "รท" wants to be an "n" in Thai because, well, that's what it wants to be. If you want to preserve the "t" at the end just make it สทูอัท.

      You're kind of out of luck as Thai does not have an ending "L" sound (it turns into an "N" at the end of syllables). So, the direct transliteration เอะส็่ล (of Aysel) reads more like Aysen. BUT, since you'd probably tell somebody your name before you'd write it, I think you'd be okay.

        One could use double "ล" and put a garan over the 2nd one so the first "ล" would be pronounced as L and the second "ล" would be silent. เอะส็่ลล์

    Once again: RTFC. If you have a name that is not a common English-language name or does not have a standard pronunciation across languages you've gotta throw me a bone and tell me how it's pronounced. Or, at least what language's pronunciation you use. Okay? Good. Also, if you've got a number of names you want transliterated (NOT translated, you'd end up with something you might be less than happy with...) I'd suggest taking one of the Thai classes found elsewhere on TTL's site. Thanks, and have a nice day...

    Hi, I'm the guy who has been answering most of the requests here and since some of the requesters have not scanned through the comments so I'm posting this reminder: Look, peeps. Please read the comments. You *can't* just write your name in Roman and have it come out in Thai. You, at the least, have to indicate how it's pronounced. This is particulary important if your name is originally based on a non-Roman alphabet - Celtic, Slavic, Chinese, etc. If you read the comments you will realize that there will probably be multiple ways of spelling any one name. Naming your country of origin also helps work out how to write it. Break up the name into the smallest syllables possible and indicate how each is pronounced. Not transliterated - pronounced. Otherwise, I'm just guessing and you'll get something that makes no sense at all. However... if you *really* want to understand, check out TTL's post at https://www.thethailandlife.com/thaipod101-review

      This is a tough call. A lot depends on how the letters were originally transliterated since there are so many that don't have a straight swap. For example, ด, ต, ฏ, and ฎ could all be transliterated as "d" but depending on which one was used could affect which vowel was used with it to get the same sound and tone. Plus there's the whole issue with implied vowels and consonants changing sound depending on where they are in a syllable. I'd start with อิละดา and วนา, วะนา, or วะนะ depending on what the "a"(s) sound like and what the tones are. I could be off by orders of magnitude though. Paste those into a translator and see which sounds closest.

      "Therenz" could be transliterated but wouldn't sound like Therenz as 1) there's no real "z" sound in Thai and 2) there's no "s" (the closest to "z") at the end of a word. Terter would be something like เธอเธอ although if you wanted it to be "very" Thai you could spell it เธอๆ. The ๆ is mai ya mok a character that indicates the word should be repeated.

      The "R" thing is a myth. Just look at all the major roads in Bangkok that start with "R". BUT, Thais (according to my Thai friends) are lazy about pronouncing Rs correctly so they say "falang" or "klap" or any number of other (according to my friends) linguistic abominations. So, Rocky would be something (there are several "K" letters) like: ระคี.

      Hi Pierre. I'm not sure I'd use bpaw bplaa for the "P" sound. It's really a mix of "B" and "P". The other question is whether you want to spell in (like your Peter example) as a transliteration or if you want to spell it so it sounds as much like "Pierre" as possible in Thai. For a transliteration you could use something like พีเอร but Thai doesn't like words that end in "R" so it sounds more like Pi-en. For something that looks *nothing* like Pierre but sounds about as close as you could get in Thai you could spell it: พีเย.

      Well... A couple of things. First there is no real "sh" sound in Thai. The best you can do is a sort of soft "ch" sound like the ch in chang (beer or elephant...). Second, there are three letters that make that "ch" sound. And, to top it all off the "ai" sound as a long "a" sound is problematic in the middle of a syllable. So, something like ฉ็น, ข็น, or ฌ็น could work but none would be said the same way as "Shaine".

A mouthful i am aware but if you don't mind helping me translate what you can it would be really appreciated.🤟

      You need to come up with a Thai nickname. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to how that would be transliterated, what it might actually *mean* in Thai, or how it would be received in a match (your opponent might get the giggles). You also might have to pirouette to get it all seen. I'd take your fascination for languages, get a book on Thai (get Benjawan Poomsan Becker's book) and figure it out. The problem with all these "Spell my name in Thai" requests is that names are like home-country cuisine, it usually doesn't translate well and misinterpretation can be a big problem.

      Those two are problematic. Simon is an issue because there are literally dozens of ways to spell it! I'd go with something like ใสมน because it's tight and uses common letters and only one vowel (the "o" is implied). It means "rounded" so also would be a pretty good Thai nickname. Michelle, sadly, is impossible. Thai words *can't* end in a "l" sound. If they end in an "l" letter (ล) the sound is "n". So, if you just transliterated your name it would be มิเฉะล or มิเชล. The second one seems (based on the translators speech) to be more like michew but I think a real person would say it more like michen. Neither mean anything.

      น้ีชื่อ...Look, peeps. Please read the comments. You *can't* just write your name in Roman and have it come out in Thai. Otherwise you'll get an answer like the one starting this comment (which says "this name" in Thai). You, at the least, have to indicate how it's pronounced. If you read the comments you will realize that there will probably be multiple ways of spelling any one name. Naming your country of origin also helps work out how to write it. Break up the name into the smallest syllables possible and indicate how each is pronounced. Otherwise... check out TTL's post at https://www.thethailandlife.com/thaipod101-review

      Keld, you are so out of luck. Thai *does not* work with an "LD" combination. It needs to put something between them (sounds like "LawT) PLUS there is no "D" final sound. So your name could be spelled เคลด or เคะลด or even คิลด as a pretty reasonable transliteration but would be pronounced "Kleyt" or "Kelot" or "Kiew" respectively. But Thai being all about nicknames I'd choose the first one. It means "Blade".

          Well, your initial won't work because the letters aren't named the same way as they are in English. In Thai the letters are named "the sound of the letter plus a word with that sound" so in English "J" has the *name* "Jay" but in Thai จ has the name "Jaw Jaan" (sound = J, word = jaan) which is shortened to "jaw" when saying the letter. There is no letter that sounds like "C". But, you can spell the sound of JC which would be เจสี่. Jessie will be different depending on how you split it. Jess-ee could be แจสอี่ and Jes-sie could be แจสสี่.

              If "Minh" is a mid-tone word then it's just มิน. If it's low tone (I couldn't tell from how the translator apps were saying it) I'd go with มิ่น. So มิน ป่คิม.

      In Thai, words don't start with a vowel. So to get around that they have a weird letter "อ" au aang which can at as both a vowel and a consonant that has no sound. It has the short "o" sound like in "on" or "awe" (when you can hear it, at the beginning of a word it's always silent). With Ariane my guess would be something like อะรีาน or อะรีอัน depending on whether you want a long-a and live ending (first spelling) or a short-a and a short-n sound (the second). Just copy and paste them into a translator to see which one you prefer.

      You're out of luck. There is no "sh" sound it Thai. You've got to choose between "ch"- ช which would give you ชีลา or ชีละ or "s" - สีลา or สีละ. The difference "ะ" or "า" is the length of the "a" sound. Copy and paste them into a translator to see which you like the sound of. One thing to remember is that Thai nicknames are usually about *something* (TTL has a post on this) and of the choices สีลา means "donkey" and สีละ means "each color". You can also tweak the pronunciation even further with tone marks but that can be something you can figure out as you learn to write and read Thai.

    Note to everybody: If you want to know how to spell your name in Thai you can't just spell it in Roman letters. You also need to give some idea of how to pronounce it and its origin, like English, German, Arabic, whatever. This transliteration is kind of fun to do (and excellent practice) but how you spell something in Thai has nothing to do with how it's spelled in Roman, Cyrillic, or whatever. For example Beqs request for Bequio could be pronounced several different ways depending on where they were from. And none of them would be spelled the same in Thai. Throw us a bone here, okay?

      Is this a western name or a Thai name? It matters because if a western name simple transliteration can end up in silly/embarrassing/profane territory very quickly. For example, Mo spelled โม is a short form for "watermelon". You also need to know how you want to say it. Moe with a longer (duration) "o" is the watermelon one, where โมะ has got a very short (duration) "o" (but it doesn't mean anything in Thai). But, if it's a Thai name, you'll need to know what the meaning of the word used as the name is. Otherwise all bets are off.

      Yikes! "Nalak" is lazy Thai (according to my Thai friends). Thais don't like rolling their "R"s anymore than we do so they get lazy and substitute an "L" for it. Drives my partner nuts. But that's how they do it . Narak (cute) is น่ารัก. "Bret" is gonna be tough because Thai doesn't do BR. You can spell it เบร็ท but it might end up being pronounced more like "Berett". "B" is just บ.

    To "Thai names are often quite long (longer is considered more prestigious)": Is it really like that? Did your wife and your Thai friends confirm this point?

    I am asking because I heard differently: Long time ago it was mandated that every Thai family takes a unique family name.
    But when later more and more Chinese people came to Siam all the short names were already taken, so that they had to use longer names (also a way now to detect the origins of people living in Thailand: shorter name="real" Thai, longer name=Thai-Chinese).

        Hey TTL-Peter!

        I have asked my Thai wife o this topic. She said when people have the very long names (both given and family), other people will laugh about them, even teachers about pupils in schools.
        Having the original Thai short names you can find very rich people, and even with long names you can find very poor people.
        And she said that Thais with Chinese heritage had to put a "sae" in their names plus their former Chinese last name names from Thais with Chinese heritage are always longer then names from the usual Thai families.
        (The last point was new to me, too - so good that we have spoken about this topic. :-D )

    Great article! After trying many - many - different ways to learn the Thai alphabet I've settled on the TP101 series coupled with consonant and vowel/symbol flashcard decks. While it's not important to write Thai it's really important to be able to read it and the only way to read it is to learn the letters and the only way to learn them is to write them over and over. Very Thai... Even if I can only puzzle out a few letters in a sign I'm usually okay. Nicknames are one of the things where it's important to completely abandon any western preconceptions one might harbor. I know a brother and sister - both named Noi. I know a woman named Muk (ink) because she had dark skin. Her name had to be changed as a child because her brother died and her parents wanted to hide her from the evil spirits. I know three brothers whose parents graced them with the names of different bugs. Collectively they're referred to as "the insects". While cheu-len may seem strange to us think about how weird it is for so many of us to sport names (the same few names) taken from religious texts written thousands of years ago. Not very imaginative.

I get a lot of requests for recommendations on services related to living in Thailand. To make things easier for you, I’ve compiled a list of those I use below.

Learning Thai

Thaipod101 is the best way to learn Thai online. It's how I started learning. They have hundreds of video and audio lessons to help you start speaking Thai today. Start free here.

Sending Money

Wise is the cheapest and fastest way to send money to Thailand. I use it and so do many of my readers. Go here to get your first transfer free.

Financial Planning

Whether you need life insurance, pension planning or other investment advice, I can connect you with my personal IFA. Simply fill out this form.

Health Insurance

I recommend getting a quote from Cigna for international Insurance, and then comparing that with local insurance premiums on Mr Prakan.

Travel Services

Hotels: Agoda offers good deals on hotels in Thailand. This is because they are located in the region and secure lots of special promotions. It's also worth trying Booking.com and Hotels.com for comparison.

Travel Insurance: SafetyWing is great for trips to Thailand and elsewhere. I've used them many times. If you're from the UK/Europe you can also try True Traveller.

Over 70? Insure My Trip. has policies for those struggling to find travel insurance cover due to age restrictions.

Bank Account

Need an international bank account that holds multiple currencies and lets you transfer, receive & spend wherever you are, with a MasterCard. I've used one for 4 years. Check out Wise.

Rent / Buy Property

Looking for an apartment to rent or a home to buy? For the largest selection of properties in Thailand, and a completely free service, visit PropertyScout here.

Data Security

To keep your data secure you should use a VPN when using public WIFI and when accessing internet banking and other sensitive information online. I use both Vypr VPN and Nord VPN.
