More Detail
Although the principal meaning of ตี is "to strike", it's also used to refer to each hour from 1am to 5am. This comes from a practice in olden times when night watchmen would strike (ตี) a bell on the hour each hour during the night to reassure local residents of their safety and alert them to the time..
