Description
Whether you're on a short trip to Thailand, working with Thais, or studying the Thai language in-depth, this is the one dictionary you can really use. 195,000+ entries (250,000+ translations), plus a built-in phrasebook with 300+ categories and 12,000+ words and full-text searchable, ready-to-use customizable phrases. Clear native sound recordings for every Thai word—even offline. Favorites screen lets you organize words/phrases in multiple folders. Includes both pronunciation guides (12 different systems) and Thai Script with the Thai and English text as big as you want. Includes a guide to speaking and writing Thai and other mind-blowing features for exploring the Thai language—nothing else even comes close!
== Listen to Any Thai Word
Touch any Thai word/phrase in any of our 195,000+ entries to hear a high-quality sound recording of a native speaker, not a toneless gravelly robot as found in other software—more than 29 hours of studio-recorded sound. Long-press to hear 2x/4x slow playback with no change in pitch.
== No Connection Required and No Data Charges
Works even when you're in a taxi or street market and not connected to the internet: all entries and sounds are stored right on your Android phone or tablet, and you will incur no data charges.
== Big Text and Clear, Clean Layout
Make the Thai and English text as big as you want—no more reading glasses! Easily scroll through multiple, full definitions on the screen at once. Customize layout. Choose standard OR big-key Thai keyboard.
== A Dictionary Crafted for Those Learning Thai
Unlike typical dictionaries based on low-quality, free internet data meant for Thai natives, our superb dictionary entries are hand-crafted by Paiboon Publishing with your needs in mind: if you're not familiar with the Thai alphabet, you can even look up Thai words by their sound using an easy-to-read pronunciation guide system (12 popular systems are supported). All Thai words in every section are written using both Thai Script and your chosen pronunciation guide system(s).
Unlike dictionaries meant for Thais, we clarify critical shades of Thai word meaning and formality using English explanations, we list crucial Thai classifiers for more than 60,000 noun entries, and we even notate syllable stress.
== Built-In Phrasebook
Beginner or advanced, communicate in Thai easily! 12,000+ phrasebook entries in 300+ categories like “Language Difficulties,” “Hotel,” “Renting a Place,” “Food/Drink,” “Price Haggling,” “Transportation,” “Health,” “Shopping,” “Sightseeing,” “Love/Romance/Sex” and even “Swearing/Insults.” Two-way conversational format helps both of you communicate.
== Introduction to Thai Included
More than just a dictionary, our software includes a comprehensive introduction to the Thai language, including a "Speaking and Understanding" section with clickable sounds and detailed grammar coverage, and a "Reading and Writing" section with all the consonants and vowels in multiple, real-world fonts.
== Unique Thai Learning Tools
This app is loaded with amazing, industry-first Thai learning tools. You can touch any word to find out which component Thai words it's made from: a great way to learn new words quickly. You can see any Thai word written in multiple real-word fonts you are likely to see on signs and menus. You can touch any Thai word to see a detailed interactive breakdown of how to pronounce each syllable (with clickable sounds that let you compare nearby sounds) or see a detailed visual explanation of its Thai spelling. Our website has more details and pictures.

Comments on Thai < > English Dictionary for Android
★★★★★E. A.· Dec 15, 2022
I would not be able to make this much progress learning Thai without this wonderful app. It is so smartly programmed, it is really a pleasure to use. The best Thai Eng dictionary out there for sure and well worth the money.
★★★★★Noble Polymath· Mar 29, 2026
In dire and now urgent need of financial investment, development and marketing; *however* this superb 'Thai <> English Dictionary' is absolutely *indispensable* for helping to make some sense of a geo-blocked language understood by only ~0.5% of the planet. Please introduce the long awaited backup facility, add missing words / translations but most importantly please rapidly introduce a parental lock so that the content can be made suitable for young children. Thanks in anticipation...
★★★★★Eddie Teo· Jun 27, 2024
This is a dictionary plus an integrated phrasebook. The power search with words combination will land you on contents from both the dictionary and the phrasebook. A simple click on the sentence of phrasebook (Find Words Inside) can also bring up dictionary entries of all the related words. It's so flexible. Developer did a very great job, and it's well worth the purchase.
★☆☆☆☆Thomas· Feb 15, 2023
Bought a new Pixel 7 (Android 13). Now can't install the app "Your device isn't compatible with this version". Promised lifelong free updates, but not a single update ever since 2017 (same on windows btw). Now obviously not compatible anymore with new Android version. Bought the app three times (windows, Android, ios), now can't use it anymore on two platforms.
★★☆☆☆Michael· Aug 27, 2024
For a Thai dictionary it's about as good as it gets, but unfortunately it's made by sexpat perverts. There are tons of examples pertaining to lewd sexual acts, fetishes and prostitution. It's a shame there's no other decent Thai dictionary app out there aside from Google Translate, because It's really time for Thailand to shed its reputation based on outdated stereotypes.
★★☆☆☆A Google user· Dec 8, 2020
This used to be the best Thai English dictionary available. Now the permissions are so Draconian it's an insult. Why do they need contact info, call logs and called numbers? Go screw yourselves Paiboon. Shame on you.
★★☆☆☆Chris Harmatta· Oct 13, 2021
The temporary workarounds don't work. I tried following the directions, looking in my settings, and the settings pathways in both options just aren't there in my settings. I'm still stuck. Waiting and hoping for the massive update I guess.
