Windows XP operating system: Click START, open CONTROL PANEL. Select REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS. Click on LANGUAGE tab, then DETAILS and SETTINGS tab. Click ADD and then select THAI from the drop down INPUT LANGUAGE box and THAI KEDMANEE from the drop down KEYBOARD LAYOUT box. Click OKAY, OKAY, APPLY, OKAY. Thai language should then be installed. One possible problem is that files for complex scripts may not have been installed, If so, then on Windows XP, as an administrator: Click START, open CONTROL PANEL.
Select REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS. Click on LANGUAGE tab, tick 'Install files for complex script.' And click OK etc.
If this doesn't work, there are various web pages you can use, e.g. It enables you to switch input methods, so it may be sensitive to browser differences. (I've just discovered that it gets a bit sick on Mozilla if you switch the encoding away from 'Unicode (UTF-8)', which is the encoding declared on the page. IE6 doesn't seem to be affected by such a switch.) As to fonts, you just drag the font file onto the fonts directory, e.g.
C: WINDOWS FONTS. The consonants, subscript vowels, superscript tones and over marks in the vertical stack are typed in the order: 1) Consonant first. 2) Everything else in order from bottom to top, so tone marks come last. Preposed vowels (เ แ ไ ใ โ) and postposed vowels (า ำ ะ) are typed independently, as though they were consonants. Note that น้ำ is typed in the order: consonant, tonemark, vowel. Do not type ำ as two symbols - if you do, most search software will not equate it to ำ as a single symbol.
On Thaivisa, remember to make Thai text 'large' (I use size 7) to make it legible. On a Mac with OS/X: Apple Menu - System Preferences - 'International' Preference Pane - Input Menu Click on 'Thai' check box Click on 'Show input menu in menu bar' Quit System Preferences The input menu will appear in the menu bar at the far right. It is represented by the flag of the country of the current input language. (US flag for US English, British flag for real English, Thai flag for.) Click on the flag and select the language of choice.
If you need help with the keyboard, click on the flag and select 'Show Keyboard Viewer'. You can use the Keyboard Viewer for actual input or just as a map. For the Mac Safari web browser you have to set the Text Encoding method to Unicode or Thai: View - Text Encoding - Unicode or View - Text Encoding - Thai - Thanks to Richard W for the WinXP instructions and mgnewman for the Mac/OSX instructions.
As more information is found, these instructions will be updated. Edited February 13, 2005 by RDN. RDN; Without trying to sound like a total pratt, Having a keyboard with the Thai Key-tops helps as well.
You can buy them very cheaply at most computer shops, then you don't have to use the stickers if your keyboard only has the 'western' Keytops. RDN Edit: For sure a Thai keyboard is easy to get and install, but I think you meant to post this on the original thread?
Anyway, I too have a USB Thai keyboard - 'Genius brand, model KU-0138'. But I also have an external hard drive connected to my lap-top's only USB port, and it doesn't work too well sharing the port with another device. Hence, in the other topic, I talked about the 'On-Screen Keyboard'. For short periods, it's OK - you just see a normal keyboard until you switch language using the Language Bar. Then the keys change to the Kedmanee keyboard and - using the mouse - you can type in Thai.
But if I want to do a lot of typing, I will plug in the USB keyboard. I will add information later about keyboards to the pinned first post above.

Edited February 13, 2005 by RDN. I had the same problem. My missus wanted to make up a rough draft on word for our wedding invitations. All well and good in English. But just couldn't get the Thai to work.
Even by changing the settings said before. Then by pure accident i clicked on the EN sign at the bottom right hand corner. This gave me the option to change to Thai. And hey presto it worked. So i got brownie points for that.
Since the missus was getting a little pissed off. Now shes as happy as a pig in. The small things that make our life easy. I noticed this a while ago - I think I posted a message about it in another thread.

I usually click in an 'edit' box in this forum web or in 'Notepad' before attempting to change the input language. Have you read the topic about the 'Microsoft Visual Keyboard'. You can get it from here: I use it now in preference to the 'on-screen keyboard' that comes with XP as it can be made large and so is much easier to read - especially the Thai fonts on the keys. This program was actually written for operating systems other than XP because they did not have an 'on-screen keyboard'. But the guys who wrote this program obviously learned about some of the failings of the 'on-screen keyboard' and made it better! I can produce ๆไไำพะััีรรนรย., as though some one were just tapping keys from left to right along the second row and producing an arbitrary string of Thai characters. The problem seems to be that your browser thinks it is reasonable to send the text you entered in the encoding of the page, so it sends 8-bit codes.
At the receiving end, the server is probably expecting Latin-1, so that is how they are interpreted. Mishap - your message can then only be read if the Thaivisa page is switched to a Thai encoding. With IE or Firefox on Windows XP, I just leave the encoding unchanged and type with the keyboard set to Thai or English as I desire, and it works fine. Cutting and pasting to here from other web pages in a Thai encoding also work fine. The same goes for Windows 2000 and IE, except I don't have the facility to type in Thai on that Windows 2000 system - I have to type the Thai in a special program and then cut and paste.
As you type the message into the editing box, it should be stored as 16-bit Unicode codes. I recommend that you try to type in Thai without changing the encoding of the web page - leave it as Latin-1/Western European.
When i opened a word document and typed i just got a series of blank squares for every character typed. Is there something i have done wrong? If you are using Word X, it is obsolete and can't do Unicode scripts like Thai. Aside from AppleWorks, any other word processor should work ok. If you are using Word 2004 and higher, make sure you have it set to a font that includes Thai, like Lucida Grande, Thonburi, Ayuthaya, Silom, Krungthep. Even so, MS products do not support correct Thai linebreaking, so best to use an Apple app like TextEdit or Pages, which does.
