1. How to Write Your Name in Thai

Thai people use the Thai alphabet to write English names. To write your English name in Thai, first you need to know the basics of the alphabet.

The easiest way 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.”
