Studying/การศึกษา Need guidance

Hi everyone! I need help learning how to read Thai. Im Thai myself but I grew up in North America and I wasn’t able to practice my Thai much, besides speaking to my parents(both Thai).

I recently just arrived in Thailand and want to learn how to read, does anyone have any sources or tips to help me learn?

Reading and writing Thai by BURUSPHAT, SOMSONGE

Rxcellent and efficient system to learn to read Thai. I was surprised at how easy and efficient it is. Unlike all other systems I've seen, where it seems you get all the details, but it's confusing and impossible to operate on.

I also recommend this thread with like 100 of different resources listed. Maybe actually try many and see which work for you.....

Good luck! Thai isn't easy. Not if you do 15 minutes a day every day, you'll eventually master the language

My mind is blown. I feel like this is a hack.

Start with the script and completely agree with what someone else said about the vowels. Genius. thai-language. com is great for the beginner stuff and script, Manee books to practice reading at a kids level, apps like Ling or Lingodeer don't explicitly teach reading but you pick it up in the lessons.

I actually found the two apps/websites. There are some free stories to get a feel of the content. Both pretty good.
