Thinking is right.
A lot of people here seem to be non-Native English Speakers.
For example, Mohit, your pronunciation of "heir" which is actually "air" would be incorrect if it were "hair"
LOL, I've got to take out the red pencil on Thinking, too! "Thyme" is with the dental fricative and hence doesn't sound like "time".
Misti, above, however get's 10 out of 10 for her homophones, even though she got them from google.
All the others have errors.
Cheers!

to - too - two
they're - their - there
pale - pail
time - thyme
sea - see
fair - fare
here - hear
Edit: The following from the above posters are incorrect:
"Mein" is not an English word. "Bire" is not a word at all.
"Hair and heir" don't sound the same, nor do ""Fate and fete" "tick and thick" or "cough and bough".
(Sorry I had to get out my little red pencil on you!)

That's all I can think of right now, sorry.
