You can tell by counting.
Duple meter is any meter where there are 2 beats to the measure. There are two types of duple meter; simple duple and compound duple. An example of simple duple would be 2/4. An example of compound duple is 6/8.
A waltz, by definition, is in triple meter.
A hemiola is the articulation of two bars of triple time as if they were three bars in duple time.
This selection is in duple meter. In the beginning of the selection it is almost as if one can march to the beat of music. Left to right as if in a marching band. Double
Three time is triple meter with a recurring pulse pattern of Strong/weak/weak. Four time is a duple meter with recurring pulse patterns of Strong/weak/less strong/weak. So . . . strong weak rhythm would fall into the duple meter pattern - to feel this for yourself, tap the rhythms on your knee or a table top until you feel the pulse pattern internally.

Simple time in musical terms means any time signature that divides the beat into 2 or multiples of 2 Simple duple is 2/4 or 2/8 or 2/16 or 2/2 Simple triple is 3/4 or 3/8 or 3/16 or 3/2 Simple quadruple is 4/4 or 4/8 or 4/16 or 4/2
A minim, since 2 2 is a simple duple time signature.

Thai music, specifically traditional and folk, is absolutely beautiful and haunting at the same time. The meter used is always a simple duple and using a mere seven notes.
