31 Best Free Fonts That Support Thai
Thai typography poses a real challenge for designers: the script’s stacked vowels, tone marks, and lack of spaces between words demand typefaces built with genuine care, not just a few borrowed glyphs bolted onto a Latin skeleton. Fortunately, Google Fonts has become a strong home for free Thai typefaces, many of them developed by Thai foundries like Cadson Demak specifically to solve these problems well. Whether you need a bilingual Thai-Latin font for a government site, a warm script for a wedding invitation, or a technical sans for a Bangkok startup’s product, there are solid, license-free options to choose from.
The fonts below cover the full range of Thai type design, from the workhorse sans faces used in everyday interfaces to decorative scripts, sturdy serifs, and display faces built for headlines and signage.
-
Sarabun
The official typeface of Thai government documents
Sarabun
Sarabun is the closest thing Thailand has to a national typeface. Commissioned originally for government use, it has since become the default choice for countless Thai websites, forms, and reports because its letterforms are so evenly balanced and easy to read at any size. It is not an exciting font, but that is exactly the point: it disappears into the reading experience, which is what most bilingual Thai-Latin body text needs.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 16 styles (8 weights plus italics)
-
Kanit
Bold headlines for Bangkok's modern skyline
Kanit
Kanit brings a geometric, almost architectural confidence to Thai type, with circular bowls and crisp terminals that echo European grotesques like Century Gothic. It is one of the most widely used Thai Google Fonts for branding and web headlines, largely because it looks equally sharp in Thai and Latin. Pair a heavier weight for display work with a lighter cut for supporting text.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 18 styles (9 weights plus italics)
-
Prompt
Clean bilingual signage for Thai storefronts
Prompt
Prompt reads as friendly and contemporary without tipping into novelty. Its Thai glyphs keep loops tidy and consistent, so it holds up well in interfaces, apps, and signage where legibility at small sizes matters. Many Thai product teams reach for it as a default UI font precisely because it feels neutral enough to pair with almost anything.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 18 styles (9 weights plus italics)
-
Mitr
Warm greetings written in rounded Thai letters
Mitr
There is a softness to Mitr that comes from its rounded terminals and slightly condensed proportions. It suits friendly, consumer-facing brands, think food delivery apps, community organizations, or lifestyle blogs, better than corporate ones. The Latin companion characters share the same warmth, which makes bilingual layouts feel cohesive rather than stitched together.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 6 weights (Extra-Light to Bold)
-
Athiti
Light, airy captions for travel photography
Athiti
Athiti is airy and light-footed, built on thin strokes that work best as captions, pull quotes, or overlay text rather than dense paragraphs. At small sizes its lighter weights can thin out and lose crispness, so save it for larger display use or short lines of text.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 6 weights (Extra-Light to Bold)
-
Charm
Elegant invitations for a Thai wedding
Charm
Charm is a decorative script that channels the flourish of formal Thai calligraphy without becoming illegible. It is a natural fit for wedding invitations, certificates, and boutique branding where a handwritten, ceremonial feeling is the goal. Keep it for short headlines and titles rather than body copy.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 2 weights (Regular, Bold)
-
Charmonman
Flowing script for boutique hotel branding
Charmonman
Charmonman shares a family resemblance with Charm but leans even further into ornamental looping strokes, giving it a lush, romantic quality suited to hospitality and event branding. It photographs beautifully on printed menus and signage but needs generous size and spacing to stay readable.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 2 weights (Regular, Bold)
-
Chakra Petch
Futuristic dashboards for Thai tech startups
Chakra Petch
Chakra Petch has a squared-off, technical character that feels at home in dashboards, fintech products, and anything wanting to project precision. Its Thai forms trade traditional curves for straighter, more angular construction, which gives the script an unusually modern, almost engineered look. Latin and Thai share the same geometric DNA, so mixed-language interfaces stay visually consistent.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 10 styles (5 weights plus italics)
-
Fahkwang
Friendly labels for a Chiang Mai café
Fahkwang
Fahkwang keeps things approachable, with slightly loose, humanist strokes that feel handmade without being a script. It works nicely on packaging, café menus, and small business branding where a bit of warmth goes further than polish.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 12 styles (6 weights plus italics)
-
Itim
Handwritten notes from a Bangkok journal
Itim
Itim mimics casual, everyday Thai handwriting, the kind found in personal notebooks rather than formal correspondence. It brings a diary-like intimacy to blogs, personal sites, or packaging that wants to feel handmade and unpolished in the best sense.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 1 weight (Regular)
-
K2D
Rounded logos for a Thai bakery
K2D
K2D’s rounded, bubble-like letterforms give it an instant friendliness that suits bakeries, kids’ brands, and playful startups. It is a good match for Poppins or Quicksand on the Latin side, since all three share the same soft, circular geometry.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 16 styles (8 weights plus italics)
-
Krub
Simple, sturdy text for mobile apps
Krub
Krub is plain, sturdy, and built for utility rather than personality. Its restrained Thai forms hold up cleanly in small interface text, making it a dependable pick for mobile apps and dashboards where clarity matters more than character.

- Styles: 12 styles (6 weights plus italics)
-
Maitree
Storybook pages set in gentle Thai
Maitree
Maitree has a gentle, storybook quality, with soft curves that feel welcoming on the page. It suits children’s publishing, educational material, and long-form Thai text that needs to stay comfortable to read for extended stretches.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 6 weights (Extra-Light to Bold)
-
Niramit
Everyday body text for Thai websites
Niramit
Niramit is a workhorse sans built for body copy rather than display. Its even rhythm and moderate x-height make it a safe, legible choice for news sites, blogs, and documentation where the text itself should carry the attention, not the typeface.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 12 styles (6 weights plus italics)
-
Pridi
Literary elegance for Thai poetry books
Pridi
Pridi draws on the proportions of classic Thai book typography, giving it a literary, slightly old-fashioned dignity. It suits poetry collections, cultural publications, and editorial design that wants to feel considered rather than trendy. Its serif details in the Latin set pair gracefully with the Thai forms, which is not something every bilingual font manages well.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 6 weights (Extra-Light to Bold)
-
Sriracha
Casual handwriting for a spicy food blog
Sriracha
Named, fittingly, after the Thai coastal town, Sriracha is a loose, brush-like script that suits food branding, casual invitations, and anything wanting a lighthearted, handwritten tone. Reserve it for short bursts of text since dense paragraphs quickly become tiring to read.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 1 weight (Regular)
-
Srisakdi
Loud, playful posters for street festivals
Srisakdi
Srisakdi is thick, blocky, and unapologetically loud, built for posters, festival branding, and headlines that need to shout across a room. It has almost no subtlety, which is exactly why it works so well at large display sizes.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 2 weights (Regular, Bold)
-
Taviraj
Refined serif for a Thai magazine
Taviraj
Taviraj brings serif refinement to Thai typography, with bracketed details that recall classic editorial type. It is a strong choice for magazine layouts, long-form articles, or any project pairing Thai text with a Latin serif like Lora or Source Serif Pro.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 18 styles (9 weights plus italics)
-
Thasadith
Friendly interface text for banking apps
Thasadith
Thasadith is unfussy and rounded just enough to feel approachable in financial and government-adjacent interfaces where trust matters. It is not a font that draws attention to itself, which is a compliment in this context.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 4 styles (2 weights plus italics)
-
Trirong
Traditional serif for cultural exhibitions
Trirong
Trirong leans into tradition, with serif structures that recall formal Thai manuscript lettering. Museum signage, cultural institutions, and heritage branding are natural settings for it, particularly at larger sizes where its detailing can be appreciated.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 18 styles (9 weights plus italics)
-
Bai Jamjuree
Technical labels for Thai engineering firms
Bai Jamjuree

- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 12 styles (6 weights plus italics)
-
Chonburi
Retro signage for a seaside market
Chonburi
Chonburi has a bold, retro character reminiscent of hand-painted Thai shop signs from decades past. It is built strictly for display use, headlines, logotypes, short packaging text, and quickly turns muddy if pushed into paragraph settings.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 1 weight (Regular)
-
Pattaya
Tall condensed titles for beach resorts
Pattaya
Pattaya is tall, narrow, and confident, which makes it useful for fitting bold titles into tight horizontal spaces like banners and resort signage. Its condensed proportions mean it needs generous letter spacing to avoid feeling cramped in Thai.

- Styles: 1 weight (Regular)
-
Anuphan
Modern loopless Thai for clean interfaces
Anuphan
Anuphan is one of the newer additions to the Thai Google Fonts lineup, built around a loopless construction that gives it a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette than traditional looped Thai type. It reads well on screens at small sizes, which makes it a strong candidate for product interfaces and modern editorial sites alike.
- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Thai, Vietnamese
- Styles: 7 weights (Thin to Bold)
-
Kodchasan
Playful headings for a children's app
Kodchasan

Soft handwriting for personal Thai letters

Reliable Unicode coverage across every platform
Noto Sans Thai
Part of Google’s enormous Noto project, Noto Sans Thai exists to guarantee that Thai text renders correctly and consistently no matter the platform, and it does that job exceptionally well.

-
Noto Serif Thai
Formal serif text for bilingual reports

-
Noto Sans Thai Looped
Traditional looped forms for classic readability
Noto Sans Thai Looped

- Styles: 9 weights (Thin to Black)
-
IBM Plex Sans Thai
Corporate clarity for Thai software products
IBM Plex Sans Thai

IBM Plex Sans Thai Looped
Familiar loops with a modern engineering feel

- Language support: Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic Extended, Thai
- Styles: 7 weights (Thin to Bold)
Choosing and pairing free Thai fonts
Start by separating display faces from text faces. Fonts like Chonburi, Srisakdi, and Pattaya are built for headlines and short signage, while Sarabun, Prompt, and Noto Sans Thai are built to carry paragraphs.
When pairing Thai and Latin type, look for fonts designed as a single family rather than combining two unrelated typefaces. Kanit, Prompt, and the IBM Plex Sans Thai family all handle this well, since their Latin and Thai glyphs share the same proportions and stroke logic.
Always test Thai type at the actual size it will be used. Tone marks and vowel stacks can collide or blur at small sizes in decorative or condensed fonts, so reserve those for larger display use.
Finally, check line height carefully. Thai script needs more vertical breathing room than Latin text because of stacked vowels and tone marks, so default web line heights often need to be increased for comfortable reading.
Between the dependable workhorses and the more expressive display faces, there is enough range here to typeset almost any bilingual Thai project without spending a baht on licensing. Download a few, test them against your actual content, and let the reading experience decide which one earns a permanent spot in your toolkit.
