Counting Thai Words Properly: Why Splitting on Spaces Fails, and Checking Character Limits

Ordinary word counters split on spaces. That works for English, but for Thai, which is written continuously through a whole sentence, the result is badly wrong.

How Thai words are counted

This tool uses the browser own word splitter, so Thai is separated without relying on spaces. The result is a good estimate for general work, but specialised terms or personal names may be split differently from what you expect.

The numbers you get

  • Words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and lines.
  • Bytes.
  • Approximate reading time and speaking time.
  • The most-used words.

Checking against limits

It shows how many characters remain against common limits such as a post on X, an SMS and a page meta description. Check each platform current rules, since they can change.
