I have seen "thaorai" spelt in two different ways in Thai: in one, the consonant of the second syllable "rai" is spelt with a "haw hiip" in front of the "raw reua", with a "mai eek"; in the other, there is only a "raw reua" with no tone mark. Are both correct? Do they mean the same thing? Thanks a lot!!!

How much?
Thaorai with only raw-reua is formal or written word. However, people often say thaorai with haw-hiip and raw-reua and a tone (called mai ek). So, the latter is informal word. Both mean the same, how much.
