To tell time in Thai, you need to know the following words:

• นาฬิกา (naa-li-gaa) – clock
• โมง (moong) – hour
• นาที (naa-thii) – minute
• เช้า (chaao) – morning
• เย็น (yen) – evening
• ทุ่ม (thoom) – night
• ตี (dtee) – early in the morning (usually between 12am and 5am)

To tell the time in hours and minutes, you simply say the number of hours followed by the word โมง and then the number of minutes followed by the word นาที. For example, 3:00pm would be บ่ายสามโมง (baai saam moong) or three o’clock.

If you want to be more specific, you can add the word เช้า (morning) or เย็น (evening) after the number of hours. For example, 10:30am would be สิบโมงครึ่งเช้า (sip moong krʉ̂ng chaao) or ten thirty in the morning. And, 7:45pm would be เจ็ดโมงสี่สิบห้าเย็น (jet moong sìi-sìp hâa yen) or seven forty-five in the evening.

To tell the time in a more general way, you can use the words ทุ่ม (night) and ตี (early in the morning). For example, 8:00pm would be สองทุ่ม (saawng thoom) or eight at night. And, 4:00am would be ตีสี่ (dtee see) or four in the early morning.

Here is a table of some common times of day in Thai:
