About the Thai lagna
In Thai astrology the day is counted from sunrise (taken as 6:00 in the classic method). The lagna is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, and it is the first house (tanu) of the Thai birth chart. The planets are numbered: Sun 1, Moon 2, Mars 3, Mercury 4, Jupiter 5, Venus 6, Saturn 7, Rahu 8, Ketu 9 and Uranus 0. Signs are sidereal, so they sit about 24 degrees behind the Western tropical signs.
Translated from the Thai page; the lagna verses are Pali lines quoted in Thai astrology books, with their traditional meaning. The Thai page also offers a “true sunrise” option, which uses a Thai sunrise table and is not offered here.
