Depends on whether you're in Spain or in Latin America. In Spain they usually pronounce ci as thi. In Latin America it's generally much more difficult to distinguish between ci and si.
Here's a nice example of how words with ce or ci sound differently depending on the origin of the speaker: http://www.studyspanish.com/pronunciation/letter_c.htm

"difficult to distinguish between ci and si." that's because ther is no difference for those that use the "seseo". - samdie, Jul 7, 2011
