Input features for Thai:

F2 or the menu item "Keyboard" switches between
English and Thai input via keyboard.
A) Two different virtual keyboards can be selected:
1) consonants in alphabetical order with hints at
   the names for the beginner
2) partly ordered according the sound, the most
   often used one first
B) keyboards, select one in "Options".
1) Thai keyboard (Ketmanee layout)
2) via A to Z on the standard keyboard.
   The layout is the same as in the 2. virtual keyboard.
   Press one of the letters A to Z to see a choice of
   Thai letters. Select one by pressing another key.
