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.

Famous quotes containing the word days:
“The days to come are a watershed.
You have to improve your portrait of God
To make it plain.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country’s fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language!”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
