+# บทที่ 12 (Lesson 12) — Numbers & Symbols
+
+## Introduction
+
+Thai has its own numeral system dating back centuries. While Arabic numerals (0-9) are common in modern Thailand, Thai numerals still appear on official documents, temples, traditional contexts, and formal writing. This lesson also covers essential Thai punctuation.
+

+
+## Shape Recognition for Numbers
+
+Thai numerals have distinctive shapes:
+
+| Numeral | Shape Hint |
+|---------|------------|
+| ๐ | Circle (like 0) |
+| ๑ | Simple hook |
+| ๒ | Like ๑ with extra curve |
+| ๓ | Three loops/curves |
+| ๔ | Complex with descender |
+| ๕ | Curved shape |
+| ๖ | Has a "tail" going down |
+| ๗ | Curves at top |
+| ๘ | Complex with loops |
+| ๙ | Almost like a "9" reversed |
+
+**Memory tip**: ๐ (zero) looks like a circle, ๓ (three) has three connected parts.
+
+## Where You'll See Thai Numerals
+
+1. **Temple dates**: Buddhist Era years (พ.ศ. ๒๕๖๗)
+2. **Official documents**: Government forms, IDs
+3. **Royal contexts**: Anything related to monarchy
+4. **Traditional signs**: Old buildings, historical markers
+5. **Lottery tickets**: Thai lottery uses Thai numerals
+6. **Clock faces**: Traditional-style clocks
+
+## The Buddhist Era Calendar
+
+Thailand uses the **Buddhist Era (พ.ศ.)**, which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar:
+- 2024 CE = พ.ศ. ๒๕๖๗
+- 2025 CE = พ.ศ. ๒๕๖๘
+
+When you see dates in Thai numerals, they're likely Buddhist Era!
+
+## Special Symbols
+
+:::character-set{id="thai-symbols" title="Thai Symbols"}
+
+::character{id="th-paiyannoi" char="ฯ" name="ไปยาลน้อย (bpai-yaan-nói)" nativeName="ไปยาลน้อย" transliteration="abbrev." charType="symbol"}
+
+::character{id="th-maiyamok" char="ๆ" name="ไม้ยมก (mái-yá-mók)" nativeName="ไม้ยมก" transliteration="repeat" charType="symbol"}
+
+:::
+
+### ฯ Paiyannoi (Abbreviation Mark)
+
+Used to indicate abbreviation, similar to a period in abbreviations:
+- กรุงเทพฯ (Krung Thep...) — Bangkok (full: กรุงเทพมหานคร)
+- ฯลฯ — etc. (literally "and so on")
+
+You'll see ฯ in:
+- Place name abbreviations
+- Title abbreviations
+- Lists ending with "etc."
+
+### ๆ Maiyamok (Repetition Mark)
+
+Indicates that the previous word should be repeated:
+- ช้า ๆ (cháa cháa) — slowly (literally "slow slow")
+- เด็ก ๆ (dèk dèk) — children (plural marker)
+- บาง ๆ (baang baang) — somewhat thin
+
+**Usage patterns**:
+1. **Emphasis/intensity**: ดี ๆ (really good)
+2. **Plurality**: คน ๆ (people, multiple)
+3. **Reduplication for meaning change**: Various idiomatic uses
+
+Without ๆ, you'd have to write the word twice. This mark saves space and is very common in everyday Thai.
+
+## Other Symbols You May Encounter
+
+| Symbol | Name | Use |
+|--------|------|-----|
+| ๆ | Maiyamok | Repetition |
+| ฯ | Paiyannoi | Abbreviation |
+| ๏ | Fongman | Old paragraph marker (rare) |
+| ฯลฯ | (etc.) | Et cetera |
+| ฯพณฯ | (title) | Royal/noble title prefix |
+
+## Punctuation in Thai
+
+Traditional Thai used **no punctuation** — no spaces between words, no periods, no commas. Modern Thai has adopted:
+
+| Punctuation | Usage |
+|-------------|-------|
+| (space) | Between clauses, not words |
+| . | Rarely used; sometimes in abbreviations |
+| , | Borrowed from English, used sparingly |
+| ? | Used in informal writing |
+| ! | Used in informal writing |
+| " " | Quotation marks (borrowed) |
+
+**Important**: Thai traditionally has no spaces between words. Word boundaries are learned through experience. Spaces appear between phrases or clauses, not individual words.
+
+## Complete Script Summary
+
+You've now learned the complete Thai script:
+
+| Category | Count | Examples |
+|----------|-------|----------|
+| Consonants | 44 | ก ข ค... |
+| Vowels | 32+ | ◌า ◌ิ เ◌... |
+| Tone Marks | 4 | ◌่ ◌้ ◌๊ ◌๋ |
+| Numerals | 10 | ๐-๙ |
+| Symbols | 2+ | ฯ ๆ |
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Thai numerals exist**: Used in traditional/formal contexts
+2. **Buddhist Era**: Add 543 to get Thai year
+3. **ๆ means repeat**: Common in everyday writing
+4. **ฯ means abbreviated**: Like "..." or abbreviation periods
+5. **No word spaces**: Thai doesn't space between words
+6. **Modern punctuation**: Borrowed from English, used sparingly
+
+## Practice Exercises
+
+:::exercise{id="numbers-1-numeral-conversion" type="fill-in-blank" title="Numeral Conversion"}
+
+**Question:** Convert these Thai numerals to Arabic numerals:
+
+- ๒๕๖๗
+- ๑๒๓
+- ๕๐
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ๒๕๖๗ = 2567 (Buddhist Era year, equivalent to 2024 CE)
+- ๑๒๓ = 123
+- ๕๐ = 50
+
+**Explanation:** Thai numerals work exactly like Arabic numerals — position determines value. ๒๕๖๗ is a Buddhist Era year (add 543 to get Gregorian year).
+
+:::
+
+:::exercise{id="numbers-1-symbol-usage" type="matching" title="Symbol Usage"}
+
+**Question:** Match each symbol to its correct usage
+
+- ๆ (mái yamok)
+- ฯ (paiyannoi)
+- ฯลฯ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ๆ → Repetition mark (repeat the previous word)
+- ฯ → Abbreviation mark (indicates shortened form)
+- ฯลฯ → Et cetera (and so on)
+
+**Explanation:**  ๆ is very common in Thai writing for emphasis and plurality. ฯ indicates abbreviations, especially in place names. ฯลฯ means "etc."
+
+:::
+
+:::exercise{id="numbers-1-reading-practice" type="fill-in-blank" title="Reading Practice with Symbols"}
+
+**Question:** What do these phrases mean?
+
+- กรุงเทพฯ
+- ช้า ๆ
+- เด็ก ๆ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- กรุงเทพฯ = Bangkok (abbreviated from กรุงเทพมหานคร)
+- ช้า ๆ = slowly (reduplication for emphasis)
+- เด็ก ๆ = children (plural marker)
+
+**Explanation:** ฯ abbreviates long place names. ๆ creates reduplication for emphasis (ช้า = slow, ช้า ๆ = slowly) or plurality (เด็ก = child, เด็ก ๆ = children).
+
+:::
+
+## Congratulations!
+
+You've completed the Thai Script course! You now know:
+- All 44 consonants and their classes
+- The tone mark system
+- Thai numerals and symbols
+
+**What's next?**
+- Practice reading real Thai text
+- Learn Thai vowels in depth
+- Build vocabulary
+- Study grammar patterns
+
+Remember: Reading Thai is a skill that improves with practice. The patterns you've learned will become automatic as you read more Thai text.
+
+## Final Practice Challenge
+
+Try reading this sentence:
+
+**กรุงเทพฯ เป็นเมืองหลวงของประเทศไทย**
+
+- กรุงเทพฯ (Krung Thep...) — Bangkok
+- เป็น (bpen) — is
+- เมืองหลวง (mʉang-lǔang) — capital city
+- ของ (khɔ̌ɔng) — of
+- ประเทศไทย (bprà-thêet-thai) — Thailand
+
+"Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand."
+
+You can read Thai!

+# อักษรไทย (Thai Script) - The Thai Alphabet
+
+## Syllabus Overview
+
+This syllabus covers the complete Thai alphabet, organized into 12 progressive lessons that take you from zero to reading Thai script.
+
+Thai script is an abugida derived from the Khmer script, which itself descends from the Brahmi script of ancient India. Created in 1283 by King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, Thai script has been continuously used for over 700 years.
+
+## Why Consonant Classes Matter
+
+Unlike most alphabets, **Thai consonants are divided into three classes**: Middle (กลาง), High (สูง), and Low (ต่ำ). This isn't just historical trivia—it's essential for correct pronunciation because **consonant class determines tone**.
+
+Understanding the class system from day one will make tones intuitive rather than arbitrary. This is why we teach middle-class consonants first.
+
+## Structure
+
+The Thai alphabet consists of:
+- **44 consonants** (พยัญชนะ) in three classes
+- **32 vowel forms** (สระ) written above, below, before, or after consonants
+- **4 tone marks** (วรรณยุกต์) that modify pitch
+- **10 Thai numerals** (เลขไทย)
+
+## The Three Consonant Classes
+
+| Class | Thai | Count | Inherent Tone | Example |
+|-------|------|-------|---------------|---------|
+| Middle | กลาง | 9 | Mid | ก (chicken) |
+| High | สูง | 11 | Rising | ข (egg) |
+| Low | ต่ำ | 24 | Mid/Low | ค (buffalo) |
+
+## Course Structure
+
+### Chapter 1: Foundation (Lessons 1-4) — A1 Level
+
+**Goal**: Master the most common consonants and basic vowels
+
+1. [Lesson 1: Middle-Class Consonants I](./lessons/lesson-01.mdx) - ก จ ด ต ป บ

+
+### Chapter 2: Expansion (Lessons 5-8) — A2 Level

+
+9. [Lesson 9: Archaic Consonants](./lessons/lesson-09.mdx) - ฃ ฅ ฆ ฌ ฎ ฏ

+12. [Lesson 12: Numbers & Symbols](./lessons/lesson-12.mdx) - ๐-๙ ฯ ๆ
+
+## The Mnemonic System
+
+Every Thai consonant has a traditional mnemonic word—usually an animal or common object. For example:
+- **ก** = **ก**ไก่ (gɔɔ gài) - "G as in Chicken"
+- **ข** = **ข**ไข่ (khɔ̌ɔ khài) - "KH as in Egg"
+
+These aren't just teaching aids; they're the official names used when spelling Thai words aloud. Learning the mnemonics is essential.
+
+## Learning Approach
+
+1. **Recognition**: Identify consonants by shape and class
+2. **Pronunciation**: Master initial and final sounds (they differ!)
+3. **Mnemonics**: Learn the animal/object names
+4. **Combinations**: Read consonant + vowel syllables
+5. **Tones**: Apply tone rules based on class
+
+## Skill Tracks
+
+This syllabus supports multiple skill tracks:
+- **Recognition** (`th:character:*`) - Identify consonants
+- **Typing** (`th:typing:*`) - Type on Thai keyboard
+
+## Notes
+
+- Thai is written left-to-right without spaces between words
+- Vowels can appear before, after, above, or below consonants
+- The same consonant can have different sounds in initial vs final position
+- Tone is determined by: consonant class + vowel length + tone mark + final consonant

+## Key Phrases
+
+| Thai | Romanization | Meaning |
+|------|--------------|---------|
+| รับอะไรดีคะ? | ráp à-rai dii khá? | What would you like? |
+| ...เท่าไหร่? | ...thâo-rài? | How much is...? |

+
+## Bargaining Tips
+
+1. **Be friendly** - Smile and be polite
+2. **Start lower** - Offer 20-30% less than asking price
+3. **Walk away** - If they don't budge, start walking; they may call you back
+4. **Bundle** - Ask for discounts on larger quantities
+5. **Don't bargain at supermarkets** - Only at markets and small shops
+
+## Cultural Note
+
+Bargaining (ต่อราคา, dtàaw raa-khaa) is expected at fresh markets but not at supermarkets or convenience stores. Always bargain with a smile!
+
+## Variations
+
+**Asking about ripeness:**
+- สุกแล้วหรือยัง? (sùk láew rǔue yang?) - Is it ripe yet?
+- มีสุกๆ ไหม? (mii sùk sùk mái?) - Do you have ripe ones?
