Sawatdee ka,
Thai language has 44 letters, 32 vowels, 4 tone marks and various other symbols for pronunciation.
Today I would like to talk about Thai letters. There are 44 letters in Thai language. (not too many to remember, right? 
)
In order to read Thai correctly, you will need to know what the class of each letter is. It is good for your pronunciation too;)
Thai letters are categorized into 3 classes;
[1] Middle class consonants or อักษรกลาง [àk –sŏrn glaang]
[2] High class conoconats or อักษรสูง [àk –sŏrn sŭung]
[3] Low class consonants or อักษรต่ำ [àk –sŏrn dtàm]
*อักษร [àk –sŏrn] means letter, alphabet
* กลาง [glaang] means middle
* สูง [sŭung] means high/tall
* ต่ำ [dtàm] means low
This is the whole 44 Thai letters. Number under each letter tells you what class it is. [1] middle class [2] high class and [3] low class.
I found this photo in the internet. I am sorry I don’t remember which website.

Hi! Mod..i am just curious if i going to learn thai….which that you recommend?to learn speak or learn to write is easier?
I notice that a lot of the letters are not in your Consanants video
Why is GOR-GAI a kh? JOR JAHN a c/t? DTOR DEK a t? sorry just want to get it right
I didn’t notice the English letters below the Thai alphabets at all. I am sorry this confuse you. Thai alphabets can be used as [1] first consonant and [2] final consonant. For example จ /jor jaan/ as a first consonant it give “j” sound, and as a final consonant it gives “d” sound like ด /.dor dek/. I need to remove this picture and replace with more clear explanation. Once again please accept my apology.
ก /gor-gai/ as a first consonant has ‘g’ sound like in the English word ‘gun’, and as the final consonant it gives ‘k’ sound.
ด /dor dek/ is ‘d’ sound for both first and final consonant.
