Yes, ThaiLatex's thai.ldf is all ascii - with a lot of \thai*  and it 
explicitly loads lthenc.def .

Argh, I see thai.dtx was a lot more similar to thaicjk.ldf in 2006 than it is 
now. that's curious - since thaicjk.ldf dated back to 2000, but thailatex's 
thai.ldf only went back to 2006.

I have come across some XeTeX thing recently, where it has a configuration for 
switching fonts for different unicode range. That would almost make it similar 
to CJK in terms of font choices. But it is still not very good in terms of the 
tranditional TeX line wrapping/space. and curiously I cannot get swath to break 
Thai sentences which consists entirely of city/province names.

I'll go about another patch sometimes, but \today now works... :-).
