The Thai language itself isn't difficult and you can start having simple conversations after learning only a few phrases.
The sentence structure is also simple, following the meaning of the sentence word by word.

 Understanding 'Thai-English' - The Thai Language -
In general though, pronunciation leads to greater problems in understanding than grammar does.
This is because, especially amongst those with a limited education, Thai phrases are often translated word for word into English, and the English words are pronounced in a uniquely Thai way.
With no verb conjugations, no noun declensions, no "a","an", "the", "some" or "any", Thai grammar is much simpler than English and makes a good understanding of English grammar extremely difficult for Thais.
