Did you know?

  • While สัปดาห์ is the formal word for 'week', in very informal spoken Thai, people sometimes use the word อาทิตย์ which also means 'Sunday'.
  • In traditional Thai astrology, the day of the week you were born on can influence your name and is believed to affect your personality.

Examples in context

    Friday is the day I go sightseeing.
