Hello Ian,

I can for sure confirm that Thai text is supported, as it was one of the
languages tested during the initial implementation of the source code
(see the notes at the bottom of
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/labelencoding.html).

There's always a chance that things have changed with MapServer 6.0, but
if you provide a small data sample, font, and simple one layer mapfile I
am sure others on this email list can test and provide feedback for you.
