Type your name in English and see it written in Thai script. Press play to hear how a Thai speaker would say it, then copy it wherever you need it.
Thai spells foreign names by sound, so there is often more than one correct spelling. Before we make anything, a Thai member of our team checks the spelling with you.
Every name here can become a necklace or a ring, made by hand in our Bangkok studio on Sukhumvit 71. We draw it first and send it to you to approve.
Thai has its own alphabet. There are 44 consonants, and the vowels can sit before a consonant, after it, above it or under it. There is no official spelling for a foreign name, so Thai people write it the way it sounds. That is what this tool does.
A short name usually turns into two or three Thai syllables. Anna becomes แอนนา, John becomes จอห์น, Michael becomes ไมเคิล. Long names and surnames work the same way, one sound at a time.
For initials, spelling checks and how a Thai name is made into a necklace, read our guide on how to write your name in Thai.
Thai has several letters for the same sound. There are four ways to write an s sound, for example, and for names people mostly use ส or ซ. So Sarah can be ซาราห์ or ซาร่า, and both are right. One keeps the h at the end, the other is shorter and reads more like a nickname.
English letters that make no sound get their own trick too. Thai has a small mark, ์, that silences a letter. It lets a Thai spelling keep the look of the English one. John is จอห์น: the ห with that mark stands for the silent h. Mark is มาร์ค for the same reason, keeping the r you do not really hear.
If the tool shows other ways to write your name, pick the one you like. None of them is wrong.
Thai is a tonal language with five tones, and the little marks above the letters tell you which tone to use. A name usually picks up one or two of them so it sounds natural to a Thai ear. You do not need to read them to wear them, but they are part of the name. On a necklace we join each mark to the letter below with a fine bridge of metal, so nothing can fall off.
Plenty of names are ordinary English words, and translation apps get these wrong. Ask one for Rose and you may get the Thai word for a rose flower. Ask for Mark and you may get the word for a sign. This tool spells names by sound and checks the answer, so Rose stays โรส.
Some words are different. If you type Love on its own you get รัก, which is the Thai word for love, because that is almost always what people want on a piece of jewelry.
Thai has its own digits as well. Type 2026 and you get ๒๐๒๖. A Thai date on the inside of a ring, or a birth year next to a name, is a quiet detail most people will not even notice is a number.

Use it as a starting point. For anything permanent, ask a native Thai speaker to check the spelling and the marks before you go ahead.
