In Thai grammar, proper nouns, or “คำนามเฉพาะ” (Kham naam chawpachaw), function much like they do in English. They represent specific, individual entities, such as a person’s name, the title of a specific book, or the name of a country or city. Typically, these are capitalized in writing systems that use the Latin alphabet (like English), but in Thai script, there’s no such distinction. Proper nouns are always specific and refer to one-of-a-kind entities, thus setting them apart from common nouns.
