Why do over 60 million people need an online Thai keyboard? Thai is the official language of Thailand, spoken by 60+ million native speakers. Thailand is one of the world's top tourist destinations and a major business hub in Southeast Asia. The Thai script is unique – most computers outside Thailand don't have Thai keyboards installed. Our virtual Kedmanee keyboard provides instant access – perfect for Thai expats, tourists learning basic Thai, business professionals, and anyone connecting with Thai speakers.

The Thai script (อักษรไทย) is one of the world's most distinctive writing systems. It has 44 consonants (พยัญชนะ), each belonging to one of three classes (high, mid, low) that determine tone. Thai uses 15 vowel symbols that can appear before, after, above, or below consonants! Thai is a tonal language with 5 tones, marked by 4 tone marks (่ ้ ๊ ๋). Our keyboard uses the Kedmanee layout (เกษมณี), the standard Thai keyboard layout created in 1927 and still used today.

Perfect for every Thai typing need: Write messages to Thai friends, compose business emails for Thai companies, chat on LINE (Thailand's popular app), learn Thai language, translate texts, explore Thai culture, or simply communicate during your trip to Thailand. Thai script may look complex, but our keyboard makes typing intuitive.

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Thai text stays on your device only. When you're done, copy your text with one click, save it as a file, or search directly on Google or YouTube.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Thai keyboard and who needs one?

An online Thai keyboard (แป้นพิมพ์ไทย) is a virtual keyboard that displays Thai characters on your screen, allowing you to type in Thai without installing any software. It's essential for the 60+ million Thai speakers, tourists visiting Thailand, expats, and anyone doing business in Thailand. Thai language learners, travelers, and people communicating with Thai friends all benefit from instant Thai typing access.

What is the Kedmanee keyboard layout?

Kedmanee (เกษมณี) is the standard Thai keyboard layout, created by Suwanprasert in 1927. It's named after the designer and is the most common layout in Thailand. The layout places frequently used consonants on easily accessible keys and arranges vowels and tone marks logically. Our virtual keyboard faithfully reproduces this layout, so Thai typists will feel right at home.

How do Thai tones work and how do I type tone marks?

Thai has 5 tones: mid, low, falling, high, and rising. Tones are determined by the consonant class plus tone marks. The 4 tone marks are: mai ek (่), mai tho (้), mai tri (๊), and mai chattawa (๋). On our keyboard, tone marks are placed after the consonant they modify. Correct tones are essential – 'mai' with different tones means 'new', 'silk', 'burn', 'not', or 'wood'!

How do Thai vowels work? I see them appearing in different positions!

Thai vowels are unique – they can appear before, after, above, or below the consonant they modify! For example: เ appears before (เก), า appears after (กา), ิ appears above (กิ), and ุ appears below (กุ). Our keyboard handles this automatically – just type in sequence and the vowels will position themselves correctly. It takes practice but becomes natural quickly!

Is this Thai keyboard really free to use?

Absolutely free! AnyKeyboard's Thai keyboard has no hidden costs, no registration required, no ads, and no usage limits. Type as much Thai as you want with all consonants, vowels, and tone marks. Perfect for Thai homework, travel planning, or staying connected with Thai friends.

Does the Thai keyboard work on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices?

Yes! Our Thai keyboard is fully responsive and works perfectly on all mobile devices – iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and tablets. The touch targets are optimized for finger tapping, and the layout adapts to your screen size. Type Thai comfortably on any device, anywhere.

How do I copy, save, or search my Thai text?

After typing, click 'Copy' to copy your Thai text to the clipboard – paste it anywhere (LINE, emails, documents). Click 'Save' to download your text as a UTF-8 .txt file. You can also click 'Google' or 'YouTube' to search your Thai text directly on those platforms.

Is my Thai typing private and secure?

100% private. All typing happens locally in your browser – your Thai text is never sent to any server and never stored online. Your text exists only on your device until you close the tab. Only your theme preference and last selected layout are saved locally.

What are Thai numerals and how do I type them?

Thai has its own numerals: ๐ (0), ๑ (1), ๒ (2), ๓ (3), ๔ (4), ๕ (5), ๖ (6), ๗ (7), ๘ (8), ๙ (9). On our Kedmanee keyboard, Thai numerals are accessible via the number row. The Thai Baht symbol (฿) is also included. Both Thai and Arabic numerals are used in Thailand today.

Can I practice Thai typing and measure my speed?

Yes! Click 'Speed Test' to switch to typing practice mode. You'll see Thai sentences to type, and the system measures your speed and accuracy in real-time. It's an excellent way to learn the Kedmanee layout and improve your Thai typing fluency.

Why doesn't Thai use spaces between words?

Traditional Thai writing doesn't use spaces between words – spaces appear only between sentences or clauses. Thai readers recognize word boundaries through context and experience. This can be challenging for learners, but modern Thai often includes spaces for clarity. Our keyboard lets you type in either style.

Can I switch between Thai and other language keyboards?

Yes! AnyKeyboard supports 100+ languages including Lao (which uses a related script), English, Japanese, Korean, and more. Use the Layout dropdown menu to switch instantly. This is especially useful for Thai-English bilingual typing.
