Where do the 100 words come from? Is this a real frequency list?

Yes. The list is hand-picked from five public, named sources: Mary R. Haas's "Thai-English Student's Dictionary" (Stanford University Press 1964 — the gold-standard learner dictionary that every serious Thai-as-a-second-language course has been built on since the 1960s); the AUA Language Center Thai Course (J. Marvin Brown, American University Alumni Association, Bangkok 1969 — the corpus the US embassy used for decades to train Thai-speaking officers and which still feeds modern frequency lists); Tingsabadh & Abramson's "Thai" IPA Illustration in the Journal of the International Phonetic Association Vol. 23 No. 1 (1993 — the canonical phonology paper for Bangkok- standard pronunciation, where every IPA on these cards is checked from); the Royal Society of Thailand's "Principles of Romanization for Thai Script by Transcription Method" (1999 — the official RTGS standard you see on airport signs and street boards); and David Smyth's "Thai: An Essential Grammar" (Routledge 2002) for A1 sentence patterns. Function-word noise (the / a / and) was dropped — beginners can't build a sentence around them — and replaced with concrete vocabulary in the same frequency band: greetings (with the polite particles ครับ / ค่ะ that every Thai sentence demands), numbers, family terms, the 20 most-used verbs. No LLM-invented entries; if any entry looks off, file an issue with a Haas / AUA / RID page reference.

Why only 100 words? Thai has tens of thousands of words.

Because the first 100 words cover roughly 50% of spoken Thai token frequency (per Zipf's law, which holds in every major natural language — the AUA conversation corpus shows the same curve). The next 400 add another 15%, and word 1 001 is below 0.01% — at that point your time is much better spent on input than on flashcards. The honest path is: finish these 100, then watch 50 hours of comprehensible Thai (ThaiPod 101 on YouTube, the Learn Thai with Mod podcast, Thai news with subtitles on Thai PBS) before reaching for word 200. This tool is the minimum viable vocabulary so you can start consuming real Thai; it is not a substitute for input.

The audio — is it a real Thai voice or a robot?

It's your operating system's built-in Thai text-to-speech voice, routed through the browser's Web Speech API at lang="th-TH". macOS ships Kanya — a perfectly understandable Bangkok female voice. Windows uses Premwadee / Niwat from Microsoft. iOS and Android have Google's Thai voices, which are some of the best free Thai TTS available. Linux falls back to espeak which is noticeably robotic for a tonal language; installing the open-source Thai voice packs improves it a lot. We don't ship our own audio files because (a) it would balloon the page past the 28 KB budget, and (b) your OS Thai voices are already good enough for an A1 learner to hear the tones and they're free. The tool just forwards whatever th-TH voice you have configured.

How do the five Thai tones work?

Thai is a fully tonal language — change the tone, change the word. The classic example: "khao" with five tones can mean rice (ข้าว, falling), news (ข่าว, low), white (ขาว, rising), enter (เข้า, falling), or to itch (an old variant), and each syllable means something completely different. The five Bangkok tones are: mid (สามัญ — flat at mid-pitch, the "default"), low (เอก — held low, sometimes falling slightly), falling (โท — starts high, drops sharply, the loudest tone and the easiest one for foreigners to hear), high (ตรี — held high, often rises slightly through the syllable), and rising (จัตวา — starts low, rises to mid or high, like the intonation of an English question). We mark the tone with a color-coded badge on every card, alongside the IPA contour letters (˨˩, ˩˩˦, ˥˩, ˦˥, ˧) used by Tingsabadh & Abramson, so you learn pitch and word together — much harder to retrofit later. Thai script does not write the tone directly; it derives the tone from consonant class + vowel length + tone marks (ไม้เอก / ไม้โท etc.), which is the genuinely hard part of Thai literacy. The badge on every card spares you that calculation while you're still at A1.

What is RTGS? Why show it next to the Thai script?

RTGS = Royal Thai General System of Transcription, the official Thai-to-Latin transcription standard published by the Royal Society of Thailand in 1999. It is what you see on every Bangkok street sign, airport board, and government document. It is deliberately simple — no diacritics, no tone marks, no vowel-length distinction — so any Latin keyboard can produce it. The trade-off is that RTGS loses information (พ and ผ both come out as "ph"; the long-vowel a in มา and the short-vowel a in มะ both come out as "a"); that is why we show IPA right next to it. The reason to learn RTGS first is that it lets you cross-reference Thai maps, Thai menus, and Thai-named places on the day you arrive. Once you can read Thai script directly, RTGS becomes less useful — but for the first month, it is the bridge.

Do Thai verbs conjugate? Why don't you show conjugation tables?

No — Thai verbs do not conjugate. Same verb form for I, you, he, she, we, they, regardless of past / present / future, regardless of singular / plural. "ผมกิน" (phom kin) = I eat. "เขากิน" (khao kin) = he eats. "ผมกินแล้ว" (phom kin laew) = I ate (the marker แล้ว does the past work, the verb กิน stays put). "ผมกำลังกิน" (phom kamlang kin) = I'm eating (กำลัง = progressive). "ผมจะกิน" (phom cha kin) = I will eat (จะ = future). This is one of the genuinely easy things about Thai for European-language speakers — the grammar is dramatically simpler than Spanish or German conjugation. The trade-off is paid in tones and pronouns: Thai pronouns shift based on social hierarchy and gender (ผม is "I" for men, ฉัน is "I" for women, and there are at least six more options depending on context). The polite sentence-final particles ครับ (male) / ค่ะ (female) are in the 100-word list because you cannot speak polite Thai without them — every textbook sentence ends with one.

Bangkok Thai vs Northern (Lanna) vs Isan — which one is this?

Bangkok / Central Thai — the standard taught nationwide in Thai schools, used on Thai national TV (ช่อง 3, 5, 7, NBT), and the only register considered "standard" for written Thai. The Northern dialects (Kham Mueang / Lanna, around Chiang Mai) and the Northeastern dialect (Isan, closer to Lao) are spoken at home and locally, but every Thai person under 60 also speaks Central Thai because they were schooled in it. The 100 core words here are essentially identical across all three regional registers; the lexical splits are minor and usually pronunciation-based (Northern Thai keeps some consonant distinctions Bangkok merged, Isan flattens the tone system closer to Lao). If you're heading to Chiang Mai or Khon Kaen, these 100 words still work — locals will reply in Central Thai if they see you're a learner. The IPA on these cards is Bangkok-standard per Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993); Chiang Mai pronunciation differs in a few tones, but you'll be understood.

Two weeks before a Bangkok trip, drill the 60 words you'll actually say at a food cart

You fly to Bangkok in 14 days and want to order without pointing. Filter to food, numbers, and polite particles, then star ผัดไทย, ต้มยำ, ข้าว, the numbers 1 to 100 for prices, and เผ็ด (spicy) so you can say "not too spicy." Tap the play button on each card to hear the th-TH voice and copy the falling tone on ข้าว. Twenty minutes a night for two weeks and you arrive able to order ผัดไทยกุ้งสด and understand the change in baht.

A teacher building a 30-minute "survival Thai" warm-up for a mixed beginner class

You teach an evening adult class with eight true beginners. Filter to greetings and the ครับ/ค่ะ particles, project the cards, and have students mimic the audio tone by tone. Because every card shows Thai script, RTGS, IPA, and a color-coded tone badge together, you can point at the rising badge on ขาว and contrast it with the falling badge on ข้าว in one screen, which is the lesson that usually takes a whiteboard and ten minutes to set up.

A self-learner cross-checking a Thai street sign read on Google Maps

You see "Sukhumvit" romanized on a map but the shop sign says สุขุมวิท and you can't connect them. Search the tool by RTGS or by Thai script, and the card shows you both spellings side by side plus the IPA, so you learn that RTGS drops vowel length and tone. After a week of this you stop needing the Latin crutch and start reading the Thai script on signs directly.

Pre-loading 40 kinship and place words before visiting a partner's family in Khon Kaen

You're meeting your partner's family and want to address relatives correctly. Filter to kinship and star ปู่, ย่า, ตา, ยาย, ลุง, ป้า, น้า so you know paternal versus maternal grandparents are different words. Add place words วัด, อำเภอ, จังหวัด for small talk about where everyone is from. The family speaks Isan at home but will switch to Central Thai for you, and these 40 words carry the first dinner.

What this tool does

The fastest honest start to Thai, now expanded to the full A1–A2 core. 500 hand-picked words from Mary R. Haas's "Thai-English Student's Dictionary" (Stanford 1964 — the gold-standard learner dictionary), the AUA Language Center Thai Course (Brown 1969 — the US embassy's training corpus), Tingsabadh & Abramson's "Thai" IPA Illustration in the Journal of the IPA (1993, Bangkok- standard phonology), the Royal Society of Thailand's RTGS romanization standard (1999, the spelling on airport signs), and David Smyth's "Thai: An Essential Grammar" (Routledge 2002). Original 10 categories all expanded (greetings + polite particles ครับ/ค่ะ, numbers 1–million, time covering all 7 days / 12 months / 3 Thai seasons rainy/hot/cool, kinship including paternal/maternal terms ปู่/ย่า/ตา/ยาย/ลุง/ป้า/น้า, food covering ผัดไทย / ต้มยำ / ส้มตำ / ก๋วยเตี๋ยว / ขนมจีน / ทุเรียน, colors, animals including ช้าง / เสือ / ลิง, 40+ verbs, adjectives, prepositions) plus 9 new sub-categories: body (22), weather (14), transport with ตุ๊กตุ๊ก / รถไฟฟ้า (BTS) / รถไฟใต้ดิน (MRT) (16), clothing including school uniform (14), house (18), emotion (16), place covering วัด / อำเภอ / จังหวัด (18), school and work (14), and daily routine verbs (14).

Every card shows: Thai script, RTGS romanization (the airport- sign standard), IPA in Bangkok-standard notation with tone- contour letters (˨˩, ˩˩˦, ˥˩, ˦˥, ˧), a color-coded tone badge (mid / low / falling / high / rising — สามัญ / เอก / โท / ตรี / จัตวา), EN + ZH meanings, part of speech, and a Thai example sentence with both translations. Play button uses your browser's built-in th-TH voice (Web Speech API — no signup, no network call). Filter by category; search by Thai, RTGS, English, or Chinese. Star words to build a private study list in localStorage; nothing leaves your browser. Pair with ThaiPod 101 and Learn Thai with Mod and you'll be holding short conversations in a month.

Real-world use cases

Two weeks before a Bangkok trip, drill the 60 words you'll actually say at a food cart
You fly to Bangkok in 14 days and want to order without pointing. Filter to food, numbers, and polite particles, then star ผัดไทย, ต้มยำ, ข้าว, the numbers 1 to 100 for prices, and เผ็ด (spicy) so you can say "not too spicy." Tap the play button on each card to hear the th-TH voice and copy the falling tone on ข้าว. Twenty minutes a night for two weeks and you arrive able to order ผัดไทยกุ้งสด and understand the change in baht.
A teacher building a 30-minute "survival Thai" warm-up for a mixed beginner class
You teach an evening adult class with eight true beginners. Filter to greetings and the ครับ/ค่ะ particles, project the cards, and have students mimic the audio tone by tone. Because every card shows Thai script, RTGS, IPA, and a color-coded tone badge together, you can point at the rising badge on ขาว and contrast it with the falling badge on ข้าว in one screen, which is the lesson that usually takes a whiteboard and ten minutes to set up.
A self-learner cross-checking a Thai street sign read on Google Maps
You see "Sukhumvit" romanized on a map but the shop sign says สุขุมวิท and you can't connect them. Search the tool by RTGS or by Thai script, and the card shows you both spellings side by side plus the IPA, so you learn that RTGS drops vowel length and tone. After a week of this you stop needing the Latin crutch and start reading the Thai script on signs directly.
Pre-loading 40 kinship and place words before visiting a partner's family in Khon Kaen
You're meeting your partner's family and want to address relatives correctly. Filter to kinship and star ปู่, ย่า, ตา, ยาย, ลุง, ป้า, น้า so you know paternal versus maternal grandparents are different words. Add place words วัด, อำเภอ, จังหวัด for small talk about where everyone is from. The family speaks Isan at home but will switch to Central Thai for you, and these 40 words carry the first dinner.

Common pitfalls

Treating tone as optional. ข้าว (rice, falling) and ขาว (white, rising) differ only in tone; say the wrong one at a food cart and you ask for white. Copy the audio and the color badge, not just the RTGS, which hides tone entirely.
Trusting RTGS to tell you pronunciation. RTGS writes both พ and ผ as "ph" and both long มา and short มะ as "a." Read the IPA on the card for the real sound; use RTGS only to cross-reference signs and maps.
Skipping ครับ/ค่ะ because they aren't "content" words. A Thai sentence without the polite particle sounds blunt or rude. Star them on day one and end every practice sentence with ครับ (men) or ค่ะ (women).

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. The 500 words ship with the page, search and category filtering happen client-side, and audio uses your operating system's built-in th-TH voice through the Web Speech API with no network call. Starred words are saved only in your browser's localStorage; nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and no search term or favorite list ever appears in the URL or reaches a server.
