I am doing alright with thailatex, I think, but I shall get in touch with him
about documenting installation procedures. It took me some effort to work it
out.
They have less need about mandating \usepackage[encoding]{inputenc} though - it
is fairly obvious to me that they only support two input encodings: LTH
(TIS620) or utf8 , and the latter is selected by \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}.

:-). Argh, I am getting there - cjk-enc.el *is* optional, but the alternative
is to add \addto\extrasthaicjk{\fontencoding{C90}\selectfont}
(and possibly adding \begin{otherlanguage}{thaicjk}..\end{otherlanguage}?) and
suffers from bad word breaks?
I am actually after C70 with thai fonts though :-). (thailatex with
\usagepackage[utf8]{inputenc} works alright, or not noticeably bad).
Most of thaifont.txt are not needed for Texlive 2011 - they are already done.
That's ironic: Texlive 2011 ships thailatex fonts ready for CJK's use, but but
for thailatex's own use. (hence I shall write to thailatex's or possibly also
texlive's about thailatex's installation).
