Would Gin fit?

Thanks Timd, I have just emailed the link to a fonty Tiger, I mean Thaigirl friend.

If you are thinking of a font where the Latin letters mimic the Thai script, AW Siam by Andreas Weygandt is a Thai-look-alike free font I ran across by accident once. I saw a fair number of faux-Thai signs in English when I lived in Thailand, and I tend to consider them a bit kitsch, but I guess this is the most obvious solution for evoking a culture that doesn't use the Roman alphabet for its native language.

An alternative would be to take the approach of the "Amazing Thailand" logo used a while back. The lettering evoked the shapes occuring in Thai crafts and architecture, I think. The uppercase T for example mimicked the distinctive curves of Thai eaves. I can't seem to find it anywhere, but you can see a Cyrillic version of what I'm talking about here.

I suggest you take a look at these approaches and come up with your own, more subtle solutions. I would like to see what you come up with, if possible. Good luck!

Jongseong, Sabi de Cup! Sway Maq-2!
My me kon Kow Chi?!
Kapkon Maq-2 with Flowers

Thank you AzizMostafa. I should let you know though, I don't speak Thai.

Though I cann't take it that you can't speak Thai, here is the translation of those couple of lines:
Sabi de Cup! > Hello, How is every thing with you?
Sway Maq-2! > Sooooo Beautiful.
My me kon Kow Chi?! > No body undersatnds me?!
Kapkon Maq-2 > Thank you very much.

Spending 6 months in the land of similing faces and golden places when I was on the run from the pulled-out-from-the-hole Dictator, I mastered Thai everyday language within the first 4 weeks...
Thanks to the fontiest Fonty City in South East Asia, B.A.T.A.A.Y.A!
Neverthess, I do not count it as my 5th Language.
To Know Thailand is to love B.A.T.A.A.Y.A.

I think I remember a font very like that cyrillic one on one of the earlier Building Letters cds, but I don't have them at work.

Tiger>Thaigirl nice:)

Tim

Yes, definitely try to go more subtle than all the garish stuff out there.

Link (to the Latin one)?

I found this adaptation of the logo.

Not that it will be any help to you now, but...

Here's something that I put together many months ago, but haven't gottten around to finishing:

I was thinking of calling it Owa Tahgu Siam (repeat out loud several times)...

That's very cute! How does it look in words?

Looks as fonty as B.A.T.T.A.Y.A.

oldnick, I like!

Chank has/had a freebie called 'Fontok' that should work nicely for our OP....

EDIT: The site was down when I originally posted -- it's back.

That’s very cute! How does it look in words?

P.S. The sample includes a few alternate characters which weren't shown in the original posting.

Cool. Especially that sort of hybrid-case "b".
