Hi, Eric,
The http://bkk2.loxinfo.co.th/~aithnd/tudhr.html site which you found is
just a summary of the main points of each article of the document.
It is not the document itself.
Xavier Nègre's web page at http://www.lexilogos.com
provides translations of just the *first article* of the Declaration
in a number of languages, including Thai -- I am the one who typed
the Thai article by reading from the GIF images on the UNHCR UHDR
site.
If you are interested, I can get you the *whole document in Thai* in
electronic UTF-8 form if you really need it. Email me off the list
at ehtrager@umich.edu to discuss your needs.
As you are probably aware, many of the other translations on the
UNHCR UHDR site are also provided as a series of GIF images. This is
true for many languages written in Indic and Indic-derived scripts
such as Kannada and Burmese. I am working with a colleague of mine
to have the first article typed in Kannada and as many of the other
Indic /Indic-derived languages as we can manage as part of my Unicode Font Guide
for Free/Libre Open Source Operating Systems web page which you
are welcome to visit:
http://eyegene.ophthy.med.umich.edu/unicode/fontguide/
As you can see there, we are using the First Article in various languages
for displaying many of the Unicode font samples.
Again feel free to email me off the list if, besides Thai, you should need the entire
Declaration in any of the other Indic- or Indic-derived languages.
