This is the same chart as the interactive Thai alphabet chart, saved for paper. It is generated from the same data, so a letter says exactly the same thing on the wall as it does on your phone, and if you are ever unsure how one sounds you can tap it on the site and hear it.
Both pages carry a QR code back to the interactive chart, so a printed copy on a classroom wall still gets students to the audio.
If you want the chart on a phone lock screen, in a slideshow or in a document rather than on paper, each page is also a poster image. These are 1600 pixels wide, sharp enough for a phone screen and fine for a slide.
There is also a square flashcard image for every single letter, 44 consonants and 36 vowels, with the sound and the class printed on it. They are on the consonant chart page and the vowel chart page.
A chart on the wall does not teach you the letters. Looking things up does not build memory; recalling them does. So use the paper as the answer key, not as the lesson.
Beginners who want the whole alphabet on one sheet before a trip or a course. Teachers who need a handout that shows tone class and real pronunciation, not just romanized names. Parents of bilingual kids who want a fridge chart with pictures. And anyone who has been learning from an app and wants something to glance at without unlocking a phone.
It is not a lesson in reading Thai. For that, the chart page explains how a syllable is read, and the tone rules page covers how class, marks and syllable endings combine.
Yes. No email address, no account, no watermark, and nothing to unlock. It is the same chart the interactive page uses, saved as a two-page PDF so you can print it. Teachers can print a class set; the only thing we ask is a credit to gorgai.net if you republish it.
Page one is the consonant chart: all 44 letters, each with its picture word, the traditional name in Thai and in English letters, the real sound in IPA, and its tone class in colour. Page two is the vowel chart: all 32 vowels with their sound, whether they are short or long and where they sit around the consonant, then the 4 extra written forms and the 8 tone and special marks.
Yes. The file is laid out for A4, which is slightly taller and narrower than Letter. Tick "fit to page" (or "scale to fit") in the print dialog and it prints cleanly on Letter with a small margin. Without that setting the bottom row can be clipped.
Every consonant carries its romanized name (Gor Gai, Khor Khai and so on) plus the actual sound in IPA, and the pairs English speakers mix up are marked as a puff or no puff of air. That second part matters: the romanized names alone make ก sound like a g and ท sound like the th in "think", and neither is right.
Yes. Each page of the PDF is also available as a PNG poster (1600 pixels wide), and every single consonant and vowel exists as its own square flashcard image. Links to all of them are further down this page.
It prints fine in greyscale. The tone classes are colour coded, but each card also prints the class name (mid, high, low) as a word, so nothing is lost on a mono printer.
Most printed charts show the letter, the picture and a romanized name, and stop there. This one adds the real sound, the aspiration marker, the tone class, the 4 extra vowel forms and the special marks, and it is generated from the same data as an interactive chart with audio, so you can hear any letter you are unsure of.
The PDF is produced by GorGai from the same data that drives the interactive chart: letter names and classes follow Thailand's Royal Institute standards and the Gor Gai curriculum taught in Thai schools, and the IPA follows the standard description of Thai initial consonants. It is released under CC BY 4.0. Last updated 2026-09-06.
