Thailand bubble letters on one sideways sheet in Fredoka: eight letters with three holes, in the two a's and the d, and all three stay white. Two of the six fonts manage that, and Fredoka prints the word taller.

Five stripes across the letters
The flag has five level stripes: red, white, blue, white, red, the blue in the middle twice as wide as the others. Split each letter's height into six equal parts and color them, from the top: one red, one white, two blue, one white, one red.
Siam, Bangkok and two old kingdoms
Thailand words in bubble letters lists the others after a first print. Siam is the country's former name. Bangkok is the capital and largest city, Chiang Mai the next largest urban area. Sukhothai and Ayutthaya name two earlier kingdoms. Chao / Phraya is the river of the central plain, Doi / Inthanon the highest point and Isan the northeast. Phuket lies on the Andaman / Sea; the other coast is the Gulf of / Thailand.
- Siam and Isan have four letters each and print far taller than Thailand on the same sheet.
- Chewy draws Thailand tallest of the six and turns the three holes to dark marks; Look set to Hollow opens them again.
- Typed in capitals, only Mochiy Pop One keeps the A's and the D white.
