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 included. 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 a countryside street market and not connected to the internet: all entries and sounds are stored right on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, and you will incur no data charges when you use the app. == 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, complete definitions on the screen at once. Customize layout. == 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). Hear somebody say "sa nuk?" Type "sa nuk" to find out what it means. 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, interactive 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—indispensable for learning how to read and write Thai. Nothing like this has ever appeared in any dictionary software on any platform. == Buy ThaiDict Now! Don't go another day without this indispensable tool!

  • Best Thai Dictionary I've Found

    By Brother-J
    I've been using this for several years now. My wife is Thai and this has been a great help in talking with my in-laws. It's not only a dictionary but also has classfiers for all the nouns, can function as a phrasebook, and you can tap on the little speaker icon to hear the word pronounced by a native Thai speaker with the correct tonation. Is it a little pricey as apps go? Maybe a little but this app is well worth it.
  • Used it for years and years.

    I have had this app since I got a smart phone after first learning basic Thai from the first to Paiboon cassette and books (green one and a red one). Love the app. Use it all the time.
  • Best Thai Dictionary, with some room for improvement

    This is the best and by far the most extensive Thai dictionary I have found online, and the developer is responsive and communicative. Excellent! In honesty, I would say that the app is not yet 100% user-unfriendly. Switching between Eng and Thai is kinda funky, and there have been problems with the paste text into search box function. But the developer assures me they’re working on it and continuing to support the app. This is an amazing dictionary for one of the most difficult languages in the world. Excellent app, highly recommended. นี่คือพจนานุกรมภาษาไทยที่ดีที่สุดและเป็นพจนานุกรมภาษาไทยที่ครอบคลุมที่สุดเท่าที่ฉันพบทางออนไลน์ และผู้พัฒนาก็ตอบสนองและสื่อสารได้ดี ยอดเยี่ยม! พูดตามตรง ฉันจะบอกว่าแอปนี้ยังไม่เป็นมิตรกับผู้ใช้ 100% การสลับระหว่างภาษาอังกฤษและภาษาไทยค่อนข้างจะขี้ขลาด และมีปัญหากับการวางข้อความลงในฟังก์ชันช่องค้นหา แต่นักพัฒนารับรองกับฉันว่าพวกเขากำลังดำเนินการและสนับสนุนแอปต่อไป นี่คือพจนานุกรมที่น่าทึ่งสำหรับหนึ่งในภาษาที่ยากที่สุดในโลก แอพที่ยอดเยี่ยม แนะนำเป็นอย่างยิ่ง

    I’ve been using this app for a little over five years now. Until recently, it has been an excellent application and well worth the money. However, now many of the icons at the bottom or no longer accessible on my iPad. It’s constantly asking me if I want to allow the application to paste. Sure, these aren’t major issues, but if you are someone who uses it constantly like myself, it gets annoying very fast. Please update soon, and I will be able to continue to recommend it to my friends.
  • Even more amazing

    This app just keeps getting better. I first got it over 10 years ago; I recently moved to Thailand and this app has made my life so much easier. Well worth the price.
  • Wonderful App with one small bug

    By Basic functionality
    Every good thing all the other reviewers have said about this app is true. I use it daily. One small bug on my iPad Pro, iOS 16.3.1. The lower rows of both the phonetic and Thai keyboards go off the bottom of the screen. I suspect thus happened with the latest iOS release, not long ago
  • Excellent

    This is a fantastic app along with their dictionary and the beginning Thai apps as well.Unfortunately I can’t get this to work any longer on my iPhone, but it still works well on my iPad. I highly recommend this app if you’re traveling to Thailand I need a good phrasebook that’s easy to search.
  • Outstanding ‼️👍🏼

    It is absolutely the best out there. I’ve tried them all and this one is perfect. It should be at the top of the list but has not yet been truly discovered. The price is totally worth it. Just get it if you’re serious about learning Thai.
