Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Thai characters are always written starting from the circle (head) and moving outward to maintain proper form and legibility.

  • Always start with the circle (head) of the character: ก -> start at the bottom loop.
  • Maintain a consistent, fluid motion without lifting the pen unnecessarily.
  • Follow the natural flow: most characters move in a counter-clockwise direction.
Circle (Head) ➔ Main Body ➔ Tail/Ascender
