An easy way to remember the "thees and thous" is that they're always singular and they mostly rhyme with their first person equivalents:
I, thou
Me, thee
My, thy
Mine, thine
But... there's all sorts of quirks of archaic English that will give the game away, so unless there's a good reason to use it and you've studied its proper use (Shakespeare, Milton), use modern English.
Of course, it is still used in certain Northern English dialects, particularly Lancashire and Yorkshire. But I don't think that is the case here.
