Days
While solar-calendar weekdays have names, lunar-calendar days number sequentially from 1 to 14 or 15 in two segments depending on whether the moon is waxing or waning. For example, "Raem 15 Kham Deuan 12 แรม ๑๕ ค่ำ เดือน ๑๒" means "Waning 15 Evening Month 12".
Kham ค่ำ, evening, is considered to be the evening of the common day that begins and ends at midnight, rather than of a day that begins and ends at dusk. Past practice may have been different.
