It does support different languages, just not Thai.

I think a 3rd party Thai hack is going to be your only option. I 
haven't evaluated any, so I can't make a recommendation. Doing it 
yourself would be pretty difficult - in addition to combining vowels 
and tone marks, there are interesting problems like how to word-wrap 
text when there aren't any spaces or other commonly-used word break 
indicators.

Of course, if all you've got is some static text, you could take 
screen-shots on a PC or Mac and display those. Or if the text doesn't 
need to be wrapped or edited, you could create a set of custom fonts 
for displaying single lines of text.
