Space or no space?
People say there is no space between words in Thai. I have found a pdf that provides a boost start for the novice at vocabulary. Here is that:

I noticed there are spaces between words. So in Thai language...... do we use spaces between words or not?

to make you undoubt on this.
1) your pdf there are spaces >>>>> because to help the newlearner indicate words in lines.
2) in general, Thai words in lines,sentences are not separate at all except:
example:
when you talking about some specific groups:
i went to market and i bought,banana, pineable, fruits, vegetable.
in Thai, it will be writen like this:
iwenttomarketandibought: banana pineable fruits vegetable.
yes, in this case we make the spaces:
goodluck and have fun in learning Thai.

In usual thai writing,there are not any space between words. But we put a space between messages.

I'm assuming the pdf separates the words just for the learner. I've never seen my Thai friends throw in spaces where they're not needed. Usually, the vowels will indicate when a word begins and ends... also, as far as I understand, certain characters cannot end a word. Maybe that might help a little.
