Tap the keys or type on your own keyboard: every key gives the Thai letter of the standard Kedmanee layout.
How to type Thai
This keyboard uses Kedmanee, the layout printed on every Thai keyboard. The most common letters sit under your fingers: กgaw on D, ดdaw on F, าaa on K and สsǎw on L. Shift gives a second set of rarer letters, Thai digits and punctuation.
Type in the order Thai is stored, which is mostly reading order: a vowel written before the consonant comes first, then the consonant, then a vowel above or below it, then the tone mark. Thai doesn't put spaces between words; a space marks the end of a phrase or sentence.
