I'm pretty confused by that.

4am=10am ? I've always refered to 10am in Thai as 10am.

The book I have tells me that the words for 10am can be either 'sip mohng chow' or 'see mohng chow' whereas 4am is 'dtee see'. Ubonwan will always refer to 10am time as 'four' if speaking English to me.
I then have to guess whether she is refering to:-

dtee see
see mohng chow
see mohng yen
or
see toom

If I then ask if she means 'ten' she will laugh and say "Oh yes ten, I forget!"

Unless you mean the bit where I said she will call me at 10am so wake me at 3am (not 4am) that is because we are 7 time zones away from Thailand here in Wales.
