TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around various translation tools and methods used for Thai/English communication. Many participants recommend Google Translate for its effectiveness, though some criticize its accuracy, especially with longer texts or dialects. Others highlight personal translators, like their Thai spouses or children, as the most reliable. ChatGPT is also mentioned as an almost perfect tool. Additionally, several apps, including Paiboon and the Thai2English website, receive positive feedback for their user-friendly interfaces and translation accuracy.

Are you serious? Google translate dude.

With no help from somebody I think Google translate is ok.

But best are your own language skills after learning the language - what admittedly needs some efforts but then will be unbeatable!

Personally the bulk translation tool here
*********************************


I’m at the point where if I don’t understand a sentence it’s because of one word or phrase. This tool lets me zoom on those words and provides many alternative translations for each one.

Johan *****************
I can read thai reasonably and I use Google but must say a lot of the times the translation isn't accurate. Specially when it's a lot of text. I think it would be a lot better if they start using spaces in thai between the words then the translation would be a bit better. But I guess that's wishful thinking.
