Counting & Quantities: what a phrasebook leaves out
The context beside the words in chapter 17. Learn what the situation asks of you, as well as what to say.
Thai uses classifiers when counting: 'two bottles of water' needs the classifier ขวด. Get the common ones (คน people, อัน things, ตัว animals) down.
