One of the easy things about learning the months of the
year in Thai is that the endings are very logical:
- Months ending with "yon"
have 30 days.
- Months ending with "kom"
have 31 days.

NOTES:
Both January
and July have two ways of being pronounced:
January:
ma-ga-ra-kom and mok-ga-ra-kom
July: ga-ra-ga-da-kom and ga-ruk-ga-da-kom
In every-day
speech, the word duean for month is often prefixed
and the last syllable is left out. For example:
January = duean
ma-ga-ra
