I don’t think that you have this quite right. There are two words ‘an’ = thing ‘nee’ =this (mid-high tones.) an nee a’rai = what is this? an nan a’rai = what is that? There are two other words showing proximity: noon= over there known= further than over there. I am not sure that it matters if you are never going to read.

Reading it back even I'm not sure what I was on about. I was attempting to differentiate between 'this' นี่ (falling tone) and 'this one ' อันนี้ (high tone). Thanks though.
