It's not possible to achieve a comprehensible translation into Thai of an English text by using a machine translation program alone. Any site or software that claims it can do this, is lying.

Contrary to what many people believe, translation is a highly qualified skill. If you want to make sure your message gets through without being incomprehensible or distorted, you need to hire a real translator for the job.

That being said, there is at least one machine translation site available - but don't expect too much. To use one of these translation engines as successfully as possible, you need to write short sentences, leave out all types of idioms and metaphors and keep the word order straight.

is the only service available online at the moment that I know of - free of charge, intended for non-commercial use, and requires that you sign up first.

Good luck!

http://thai-language.com/ is fantastic for words but will not help much with whole sentenses.

Those two are indeed the most useful ones I have come across as well. For full sentences, you need a real person...
