Summary

Write Thai-language prose (technical documentation, marketing copy, explainers, blog posts, translations) that reads like a real Thai writer — not generic AI output. Counters training-data skew toward over-formal, over-polite, calqued Thai. TRIGGER when: user asks for any non-tri

4
5	AI-produced Thai imports English's discourse mechanics whole-cloth and adds
6	politeness/connective padding by default. Native readers feel the friction —
7	re-reading, skimming, abandoning. Surface-level rules ("don't use ทั้งนี้")
8	treat symptoms; the seven frames below are the structural cause. Granular
9	rules in `references/ai-tells.md` (mechanical), `references/grammar.md`
10	(surface), and `references/craft.md` (taste) become applications of the
11	frames — many auto-resolve once the frames are right.
12
13	### `f1` (frame · all-registers · structural)
14
15	Frame 1 — Topic-comment over subject-verb-object. English defaults to SVO.
16	Thai often fronts the topic (whatever the sentence is about)
17	and then comments on it. When the English source has a heavy subject ("the fact that
18	X is..."), calquing it into Thai produces `การที่...นั้น...` chains that no Thai
19	reader produces unprompted.
20
21	- English (SVO): `The system processes this data every five minutes.`
22	- Calqued: `ระบบประมวลผลข้อมูลพวกนี้ทุก ๆ 5 นาที`
23	- Topicalized: `ข้อมูลพวกนี้ ระบบจะ process ทุก 5 นาที`
24
25	Heuristic: if the English subject is heavy, abstract, or really the patient of the
26	verb, front it as topic in Thai.
27
28	Covers `non-adversative-thuk` (ถูก-passive) and `garn-thi-tham-hai` (การที่...ทำให้).
29
30	### `f2` (frame · all-registers · structural)
31
32	Frame 2 — Condition, time, and frame go first. English puts conditions and
33	time-frames after the main clause: "X happens when Y" /
34	"X if Y". Thai prefers the inverse: condition first, main clause after.
35
36	- English: `The DB starts timing out when traffic spikes.`
37	- Calqued: `DB จะเริ่ม timeout เมื่อ traffic พุ่งสูง`
38	- Native: `พอ traffic พุ่งสูง DB ก็เริ่ม timeout`
39
40	Common Thai openers for fronted conditions/times: `พอ...ก็...`, `ถ้า...จะ...`,
41	`เมื่อ...`, `ตอน...`, `หาก...`.
42
43	Covers `tirai-frame-closure`, `frame-scoped-ko`, and `whenever-calque` —
44	conditional frames require paired closure/linker (see `references/grammar.md`,
45	`references/ai-tells.md`).
46
47	### `f3` (frame · all-registers · structural)
48
49	Frame 3 — Sentence boundaries via space and paragraph, not period.
50	English uses a period after every sentence. Modern Thai web writing
51	(blog, marketing, explainer, news) uses periods sparingly. Sentence boundaries are
52	carried by spaces and paragraph breaks; periods are reserved for end-of-paragraph
53	snap or genuinely terminal statements.
54
55	- AI density: `ระบบทำงานเร็วขึ้น. ใช้ memory น้อยลง. ทีมพอใจมาก.`
56	- Native: `ระบบทำงานเร็วขึ้น ใช้ memory น้อยลง ทีมพอใจมาก`
57
58	Heuristic: drop mid-paragraph periods; let space carry the boundary. Keep periods
59	only where a snap or finality is genuinely intended.
60
61	The Royal Institute's หลักเกณฑ์การเว้นวรรค formalizes a two-tier space system —
62	clause-internal vs sentence boundary. Modern keyboards emit a single ASCII space
63	either way, so the distinction surfaces as visual rhythm. Treat: short single
64	space within a clause; paragraph break at sentence boundaries.
65
66	Covers `mid-paragraph-period` (period spam — see `references/ai-tells.md`).
67
68	### `f4` (frame · all-registers · structural)
69
70	Frame 4 — Closure via sentence-final particles. English doesn't need
71	closure particles. Thai uses a small inventory of them to wrap
72	clauses cleanly: `ด้วย` (also/too — closes additive thoughts), `แล้ว` (completion,
73	transition), `ไป` (movement away/done), `อยู่` (ongoing state), `เลย` (intensification
74	or "right then"), `ก็แล้วกัน` (let's just leave it / decision), `อยู่ดี`
75	(still / nonetheless), `ต่างหาก` (contrastive correction — "actually X, not Y").
76
77	Note on `แล้ว` variants (per Olsson 2013 on Thai iamitive): bare `แล้ว`
78	(`f4/laeo-completion`) alone marks completion / "by now". `X แล้ว ก็ Y` adds
79	sequence + pacing (see Frame 6). `เสร็จแล้ว` (`f4/set-laeo-perfective`) is the
80	perfective-completion variant — action finished, with finality beyond just temporal
81	completion. Pick the form that matches whether the close needs pure completion,
82	sequenced flow, or finished-action force.
83
84	When AI omits these because the English source has no equivalent token, Thai
85	sentences feel dangling — like the writer trailed off.
