Thai consonants - Why we have to learn the three groups?

By Jang

The reason that all foreigners who learn reading and writing Thai have to know about the three groups of Thai consonants is that it helps them with tones, pronunciation and correct writing. As a Thai Language Teacher it is difficult to explain how important this is. There is no particularly easy way to learn this other than practice, practice and practice.

What are the three Thai Consonants?
They are the three types of letters that comprise the Thai Alphabet. The three groups of consonants consist of Middle consonants, High consonants and Low consonants. For example ..

Middle Consonants : ก   จ    ด    ต   บ    ป    อ
