is there a way to use spell check with thai language, possibly in open office or elsewhere ?

LibreOffice (and I presume its evil twin OpenOffice) includes Thai spell checking. You just need to make sure the Thai dictionary is installed. How you do this depends upon your operating system.

Microsoft Office also includes a Thai spell checker.

The Thai spell checker in LibreOffice used to be badly broken, and my questions about how to put in an experimental fix led to its being fixed. I don't know if the fix has been propagated to OpenOffice. You may have to tell the word processor where word boundaries are by inserting the formatting mark 'no-width optional break' (= Unicode Zero Width Space (ZWSP)) and glue over inappropriate breaks by using 'no-width no break' (= Unicode Word Joiner (WJ)). These marks work on LibreOffice. The marks don't work with Word 2002, but that is rather old.

sorry, just curious, on the "evil" part

i had always thought M$ was the evil one, could you explain?

Once Sun was acquired by Oracle Oracle became responsible for managing the OpenOffice project. They did a really bad job of it and alienated most of the developers who defected to create LibreOffice. Oracle then abandoned OpenOffice, closing the project. (It was subsequently taken up by the Apache foundation.)

Oracle has a long tradition of acquiring products and then failing to support and develop them adequately and in the ranks of evil, it is pretty much on a par with Microsoft.

and Apache is also evil or whats wrong with OO now ?
