Thai doesn't actually have an alphabet. It has an abugida (which is a type of syllabary).
The Thai Abugida has:

  • 44 consonants (พยัญชนะ, phayanchaná)
  • 15 vowel symbols (สระ, sàrà) that combine into at least 28 forms
  • 4 tone marks (วรรณยุกต์ wannayúk).


Each consonant has an inherent vowel: [o] in medial position and [a] in final position. The [a] is usually found in words of Sanskrit, Pali or Khmer origin while the [o] is found native Thai words. The 18 other vowels and 6 diphthongs are indicated using diacritics which appear in front of, above, below of after the consonants they modify.
