An open collection of 71 Thai font families, each kept with its licence. 67 come as the original files their makers published, one zip per family or one bundle per source; the rest are listed with a link to their official source.
The collection gathers Thai typefaces whose licences let anyone use them free of charge, and keeps each one with its licence. Today it lists 71 families. 67 of them can be downloaded here as the original files, each zip with the licence text and a README that records where the files came from and a checksum for every file. The rest are listed with a link to their official source, because their terms do not let us pass the files on.
Every family has its own page with a live specimen, all 44 consonants and the other Thai characters, its styles, its licence in plain words and the code to use it on a website. You can also compare them side by side in the font tester and on the font poster.
This is our reading of each licence, offered to help you choose, not legal advice. The full texts are on the licences page.
Each archive holds every downloadable family from one source, each in its own folder with the original files, the licence text and the README, exactly as in that family's own zip. 5 archives, 25.1 MB in all.

Each family links to its page, with the specimen, the full character set and the licence.

Google's Noto Thai set: two sans families, looped and loopless, and a serif. Each is a single variable file with weight and width axes.

4 families are in the collection without a download. The three TH fonts under the Charmonman notice, TH Charm of AU, TH Charmonman and TH Srisakdi, are listed but not distributed, because their notice gives the right to distribute them to DIP and SIPA only. Google Sans is listed the same way: its trademark notice ties the name to the original files, which are too large for a web preview. Each has a page with its letters, its licence and a link to its official source.
Boon, BoonJot and BoonTook from FontUni, LINE Seed Sans TH from LY Corporation, Lunvon, and Samphan Condensed join the collection, each with its original files and licence text to download. Samphan Condensed is the first family here under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Where a publisher gives a Thai name for a family, the family page and card now show it under the English name.

memorablepress.com reopened as an independent reference with 65 Thai font families. 61 of them come with their original files and licence texts to download. TH Charm of AU, TH Charmonman, TH Srisakdi and Google Sans are listed with a link to their official source, because their terms do not let us pass the files on.

Every family you can download here allows use in commercial work, including print, logos, apps and websites. None of the licences lets you sell the font files on their own, and some put conditions on changing a font. Each family page sums up its licence in plain words, and the licences page compares them.
Fonts from one source share an origin and usually a licence, so a bundle keeps like with like and its README can name the licence of every family inside. Each family keeps its own folder with its licence text, exactly as in its single download.
Using a font in a design, a document or a website does not require a credit under any of these licences. If you pass the font files themselves on, keep the copyright notice and licence text with them, as every download here already does.
Every addition, removal or correction to the collection is recorded in the changelog on this page, with the date and the families it touches.
Filter the catalog by loop style, category and licence, or type your own text into the tester to compare every family at once.
