Thank you for the swift reply. It works fine; I can produce pdfs with Thai words
with the correct font!
I have added \newfontfamily\Thai{Norasi} to the preamble and use the ERT
\Thai\emph{a Thai word} in the LyX document. I got an error with the suggested
\newfontfamily{\TH}[Scale=1.2]{Norasi} But that's not a problem. A little bit of
ERT is fine.
I was wondering whether it is also possible to generate OpenDocument outputs
with XeTex, like pdflatex can do. I only got xhtml now, but that seems limited
as I believe there is no way to import this into libreoffice.
