Explanation
The expression consists of สิบ (“ten”), โมง (a word used in telling daytime hours), and เช้า (“morning”). Together, they mean 10 a.m. It is also commonly written with a numeral as 10 โมงเช้า. It can follow a verb directly, as in เจอกันสิบโมงเช้า (“Let’s meet at 10 a.m.”). ตอนสิบโมงเช้า is another common form that explicitly marks the time when something happens.
Usage
Used in everyday situations to give a 10 a.m. time, such as arranging meetings, stating class or business hours, and discussing departure or arrival times.
Caution
Do not use this expression for 10 p.m.; that time is commonly called สี่ทุ่ม. Formal notices and timetables often use the numeric form 10.00 น. instead.
