Where I Can Find All Thai Words ?

[boxig]

Hi,

I am looking for a simple DOC, TXT, HTML or RTF source with all, or most of, Thai words in Thai script. Does anyone knows where I can find it, or someting similar ?

Thank you

Try googling for a few obscure Thai words. You should pick up a word list. Alternatively, you could try ICU (International Components for Unicode) - there's a Thai word list in there, but I don't know how easy it is to extract it. I've come across such word lists when googling, but never thought to download the huge files. You'll get a big word list just googling for

Many thanks to you both.

Do note that a list like that is heavy on written language and light on spoken language, though.

Many thanks to you both.

It looks as though thanks will really be due to Doug Cooper again, the man who gave us 'How do Thais Tell Letters Apart?' - see Why are Thai letters so hard to read?.

It's true. Doug's done (and is doing) a lot of great research!

I have found a good word list but the encoding is TIS-620 and I need it to be unicode. Any (easy) way to convert a .txt file from TIS-620 to UTF-8?

update: just found a great online tool to do the job:
