The Menu's which I have seen did not have Thai numerals so that they could overcharge the foreigner,they were merely written in Thai numerals as Thai people use both thai numerals and Arabic.
Many people in Thailand have not had an education as they have had to work to support their family from an early age,this is why some people can not read.
To learn thai numerals,you can look at Thai money which has both Thai and Arabic.You only have to learn 0-9 so a bit of perseverence pays off.
