To improve your grammar, let’s learn a few quantifiers, which is called ‘ลักษณะนาม’ (lák-sà-nà naam)
You can use this structure to use quantifiers in your sentence
“Object + quantity + quantifer”
But you must remember that the quantifier depends on the noun.
For example :
ฉันเอาซาลาเปาไส้ครีม 2 ลูก (chăn ao saa-laa-bpao sâi kreem sŏng lûuk)
= I wants 2 of custard steamed buns.
ฉันมีปากกาอยู่ 5 แท่งในกระเป๋า (chăn mii bpàak gaa yòo hâa tâaeng nai grà-bpăo)
= I have 5 pens in my pencil case
