ABOUT THIS PAIR

English ↔ Thai - a tonal language with no spaces between words.

Thai is the national language of Thailand and is written in its own alphabet of 44 consonant letters, with vowels that can sit before, after, above or below the consonant. Words run together with no spaces - spaces mark the end of a phrase or sentence instead - and politeness is carried by small particles at the end: ครับ (krub) when a man speaks, ค่ะ (ka) when a woman does. translator.im handles the script, the spacing and the particles so your Thai reads as polite and natural rather than machine-made.

WHY TRANSLATOR.IM

A Thai translator that sounds polite, not robotic.

Thai is heavy on context: pronouns are often dropped, and the same sentence shifts with who is speaking to whom. Large-language-model translation reads the whole message and chooses wording a Thai speaker would actually use.

Polite particles built in

Requests and greetings get ครับ or ค่ะ where Thai expects them. Tell us you are a man or a woman and the particle and pronoun (ผม or ฉัน) will match.

ครับ · ค่ะ · ผม · ฉัน

Correct Thai script and spacing

Tone marks, stacked vowels and the no-spaces-between-words convention are all respected, so the output looks right on LINE, Facebook or a printed sign.

Unicode Thai

Speak English, show Thai

USE CASES

Made for the moments English needs to become Thai.

Travel, long stays, work and relationships - the places an English to Thai translator gets used most.

TRAVEL

Order food exactly how you like it

Street food is the best part of Thailand. Ask for less chilli, no ice or no peanuts in Thai the vendor understands at a glance.

→ Not too spicy, please. No ice.
ไม่เผ็ดมากนะครับ ไม่ใส่น้ำแข็ง
LIVING

Deal with landlords and repairs

Expats and digital nomads can report problems, arrange viewings and confirm rent politely in Thai.

→ The air conditioner in my room is not working.
แอร์ในห้องผมเสียครับ
BUSINESS

Write to Thai clients and suppliers

Polite, respectful Thai goes a long way in business. Translate replies, quotes and follow-ups without sounding blunt.

→ Thank you for your reply. We will send the quotation tomorrow.
ขอบคุณสำหรับคำตอบครับ เราจะส่งใบเสนอราคาให้พรุ่งนี้
RELATIONSHIPS

Message a Thai partner or friend

Short, warm messages land better in Thai. The translation keeps it casual and affectionate.

→ I miss you. See you next month.
คิดถึงนะ เจอกันเดือนหน้า
TIPS

Tips for better English to Thai translation.

Three quick habits that make your Thai sound right.

  1. Say whether you are male or female

    Thai changes with the speaker: a man says ผม (phom) for 'I' and ends with ครับ, a woman usually says ฉัน (chan) or ดิฉัน and ends with ค่ะ. Add 'I am a woman' or 'male speaker' and the output will match.

  2. Use Voice mode to show, not say

    Thai has five tones, so reading romanised Thai aloud is easy to get wrong. Speak your English in Voice mode and simply show the Thai text on screen - or press Listen if your device has a Thai voice.

  3. Keep names in English when needed

    Hotel names, street names and brands are often written in English on Thai signs. If you need the Thai spelling of a name, ask for a transliteration separately so the translation stays clear.

FAQ

Questions about English to Thai translation.

Is this English to Thai translator free?
Yes. You get 10 free translations a day with up to 5,000 characters each, and you don't need an account.
Does the Thai translation use krub and ka?
Yes, where Thai would naturally use them, such as greetings, thanks and requests. By default the tone is neutral-polite; tell the translator whether the speaker is male or female for the right particle and pronoun.
Why are there no spaces in the Thai translation?
That is correct Thai. Thai writes words together and uses spaces only between phrases or sentences. Output that puts a space between every word would look wrong to Thai readers.
Can I speak English and get Thai?
Yes. Open Voice mode, allow the microphone and speak. Speech recognition runs in your browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari, not Firefox), and the Thai can be read aloud if your device has a Thai text-to-speech voice.
Can I translate an English image into Thai?
Yes. Image mode lets you upload, drop or paste a PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF or BMP. The text is recognised in your browser, you can edit it, and the Thai translation is returned as text.
Is the Thai pronunciation shown?
The translator returns Thai script. The phrase table on this page includes an easy pronunciation guide for common phrases, and you can ask the translator for a romanised version of short sentences.
Is the translation good enough for a tattoo or sign?
AI translation is great for everyday communication, but Thai tattoos and printed signs are permanent and easy to get subtly wrong. Ask a native Thai speaker to check the exact wording first.
Can I translate Thai back to English?
Yes. Use the Thai to English translator, or press the swap button at the top of the page.
