The only one that is widely avalable IN Thailand is “Talking Dic” It seems the one prefered by most Thais. I bought one for my wife many years ago and it’s still working fine. Very easy to use , if I’m trying to explain something that she doen’t understand , I just type in the word, she presses it into Thai….Hey presto,,, NO more frustration from either party !!
