The easiest way is to find a Thai letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Thai name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter ม for “m,” า for “a,” ย for “y” and า for “a.” You just need to put them together and write มายา for “Maya.”
Here are some English names in Thai.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for clarifying!
Both spellings are used in Thai, but they suggest slightly different pronunciations. We'll go with คอลิน since that's your preferred spelling.
ขอบคุณครับ/ค่ะ

That's not how Thai people usually spell/say my name. They use คอลิน and not โคลิน
Hi Starkai,
Of course! 😊 Since your name is pronounced “Star-Kai,” a natural way to write it in Thai would be:
สตาร์ไค
It is an approximation of your name using Thai sounds, with สตาร์ representing “Star” and ไค representing “Kai.”
Hope this helps! 😊

Hi, can you tell me how to write my name and how to pronounce it in Thai? My name is Starkai (Pronounced Star (⭐) - Kai)
Hi Aghie,
Welcome to ThaiPod101.com! 😊 Based on the pronunciation you described, your name "Aghie" could be written approximately as อากี in Thai.
If you prefer to use your first name, "Cris" can be written as คริส.
Since foreign names are usually written in Thai according to their pronunciation rather than their original spelling, there can sometimes be more than one possible spelling.
Thank you for studying Thai with us! We hope you have fun learning the consonants and building up your Thai step by step. 🇹🇭😊

Hello guys! can you guys tell me how to write my name in Thai? I am Aghie, tt is pronounced as "A-ghie" with an H, sometimes they pronounce it as "a-gi" which is wrong, but sometimes I let them call me "Cris" cause it is my first name. "Aghie" is actually from my second name which is "Aghiebert" but most of my friend call me "Aghie." I am just a beginner on learning Thai, I only know some of the consonants, and still learning the basics. Thank you in advance, I'm excited to know my name in Thai.
