Can anyone tell me if there is a Thai hyphenation pattern available,
either for the very old version of FOP v0.20.3, or the latest release
which I am hoping to upgrade to soon?

There is no Thai hyphenation pattern file available,
and because typesetting Thai is difficult in general,
it is unlikely there will be one soon. Unless there
is someone with enough of an itch and either well enough
knowledge of Thai and/or skill to port the Pango code.

Note that FOP can't do proper line breaking for Thai yet
even though it implements UAX#14.
