The term 'ทั้ง (tháng)' is generally used in Thai to express the inclusion of all elements in a group or set, very much similar to English 'both', 'all', or 'entire'. When used with a verb, it emphasizes the action extends to all members of a group or the entirety of something. When used before nouns, adjectives, or pronouns, 'ทั้ง' equates to the English term 'both' and refers to all the items or everyone in a group without exception.
