google translate is the basic.
www.thai2english.com is the best.
for example when a Thai girl text you in thai words
xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx
you see till catch no ball then you copy and paste into google translate it will make some sense to you. then you do the same copy n paste into thai2english.com and see the difference.
Basically if someone text you in proper thai lang its suppose to flow well when translate into english. Thats why some thai news website if translate under chrome browser the news still readable to some extend. But some thai girls the way they text is machiam like we have singlish or dialect or short form in it so when go into google translate it may not be translate accurately. But Thai2english.com more or less will able to break down word for word in the sentence. Then when you read the thai pronunciation you will understand the flow of it.
whenever i want to text thai lang to thai girls and comm with them in thai texting, i will use google translate to translate english to thai first then use thai2english.com to refine the thai lang sentencing.
if its the thai girl trying to tell you something on the spot and need translator? If google translate can't do a good job then ask the girl to type into thai2english.com directly and translate.
Of course thats my method. Out there have some thai experts. they may think otherwise and if they so expert they are welcome to show case share in details so other may really learn from them instead of picking bones out of eggs. 5555
