Thai Ghost Busters
Thai ghosts are coming to a village at night. Before they touch the sai sin, the white thread protecting the house, type the Thai each ghost carries and drive it away with your flashlight.
How to type on a Thai keyboard
- Thai is typed not in the order it's written, but in stored order: consonant, then any vowel above or below, then the tone mark (น้ำ = น → ◌้ → ◌ำ).
- เ แ โ ใ ไ : vowels written before the consonant are typed first (ไป = ไ → ป).
- On a computer, the Thai letter is determined by the position of the key you press, so you don't need to switch your keyboard input. It also works with Thai input turned on.
- In the chart below, large letters are typed without Shift, and colored letters are typed with Shift. Small Latin letters show the key on an English keyboard.
